FX When you’ve got (2) 500mm DRS’s but one of them has a larger plenum!
- By Michael

I wanted to see how much power I could squeeze out of the larger plenum version and still maintain a good shot count of at least 3 full magazines (42 shots).
Here's my baseline
So next I tuned for 22g pellets @ 860 FPS. With the reg at 115b and +21 HST clicks I was able to get 38 shots. Good, but shy of my goal of 3 full magazines. 225b to 115b = 2.9cc's per shot.
Next I tuned for JSB Monster Lite 21g pellets. With the reg at 110b and +12 HST clicks I was able to get 46 shots @ 860 FPS. Goal achieved. 225b to 110b = 2.5cc's per shot. That's as much power as I want to squeeze out of this airgun. With these settings I also tested the velocity of the following pellets: AEA 22g @830 FPS, JSB 25g Hades Monster @800 FPS (I've confirmed that these shoot faster than you'd think for the weight), and 22g FX Hybrid slugs @ 820 FPS.
If you do feel the need to tune it, the adjustments are more accessible in the Classic version as all you need to do is remove the stock to access the HST. But, in order to access the HST on the DRS Tac you need to remove the top rail, trigger guard, and stock adapter. It looks intimidating, but its actually only 11 screws.
IMO, the .22 caliber 500mm DRS is a moderately powered (30-35 FPE) pellet shooter. The platform is ultra light weight, yet very rigid. I believe it was designed to simply take it out of the box and shoot, no tuning necessary.

Here's my baseline
- Both are .22 caliber
- Both have a rather small 210cc air capacity
- My DRS Classic Synthetic has a 32cc plenum
- My DRS Tactical has a 54cc plenum
- Both regulators were set at 100b
- Both of these came perfectly tuned at 880 FPS with 18g pellets
- As is they yielded 4 full magazines (56 shots). Plus I got 2 more shots within 5 FPS after it dropped off the reg
- 225b to 100b = 2.2cc's per shot

Other GK1 vs Leishy 2 250

- 73 Replies
Well, I don't just need the gun to be small when I pack it —
I need my gun to be small when I shoot it.
And the Leshiy has to be "unfolded" to shoot.➠ For that reason, I never considered the L1 or L2 as an option for my stable....

Crosman pellets

If Crosman is switching the .22 Hollow Points to the Daisy design, I welcome it. I've bought them a few times since 2020 and each time they have grouped well in multiple rifles, and better than most Crosman HPs I've purchased over the last 10 years or so.
Example of a couple of 30 yard groups from a QB79 HPA conversion.
The last time I got a tin of Crosmans that would produce ragged holes was 2013.
And the Daisies are straight up wrecking balls for pest control. One recovered from a gray squirrel:
