What does it mean if I am shooting at 930 fps on Hammer setting 7 and then it jumps up to 951 fps when I turn it to hammer setting 6? I thought it meant that I had too much hammer on setting 7, so I turned the hammer adjustment screw clockwise but it still shoots at 930. I thought by turning...

I think you are spot on with me going on a tuning rampage and all it needed was to be cleaned. I'm fairly new to the game and never thought of it having that much significance on accuracy. Another thing I am noticing is how sensitive it is to the way the gun is held. It seems like loosely...

Thanks for the advice, I will definitely keep an eye on it now that I know how much a fouled barrel is impacted.

Looks like cleaning the barrel was a major part of it, another thing is I put the harmonic dampener back on and it started shooting a nice group at 50 yards. I tightened it up by slightly closing the valve and got a nice 10 shot group with me screwing up on the last shot, these were at 895fps...

Thanks I'll try some lighter ones as well. The 40gr Javelins I am using are the .217, I thought about trying .218 but maybe not a good idea?

No it was around the same temps. Maybe that's why the 34gr Javelin is sold out lol I might try to find some and give those a try. Sucks cause I know I had it shooting good.

.22

Ok so I just ran some patches thru with Ballistol and it seems to have stopped the keyholing. I did some tuning and I got a few holes pretty tight but would then get some thrown in a complete different area. Would switching to a lighter grain slug be easier to tune?

Forgot to add that I did dry run a snake thru, without the brass brushes of course. Thanks.

Looking for some help or starting tune to shoot the Javelin 40 grain slugs out of my M3 700mm Sniper with Slug power kit installed, Superior heavy liner and barrel tensioning kit. I had it tuned that it was shooting sub MOA for 50 and 100 yards but I changed some settings and now can't find...

Isn't the recommended way of degassing your gun, to dry fire it until it starts bleeding out from the bottle inlet? It usually takes a few shots for it to start bleeding, that would mean you're firing below the setting of your second reg, so how is it bad?

The service from UAG is great! I was supposed to receive some parts from FX USA but they never got it shipped before they closed. Emailed UAG this past Monday and received the warranty parts today! Amazing service as usual, this is great for FX owners, thanks UAG!

Thanks for confirming

Anyone know if the brass piston comes standard in the AMP reg with newer FX guns?

Thanks, I'm not too flustered with it since I still have my M3 to shoot and wouldn't mind sending it in. FX sent me a new hammer, not the hammer weight, which had some burrs on it and I guess it was hanging up and causing those inconsistencies.
