Check for loose electrical connections.

FYI, illuminated reticles are very visible through the objective lens when used at close range. I figured out that mine was spooking my rat quarry. I was initially confused because the rat would run as soon as I spotted it in the scope. I thought it was a reflection, so I checked it. I was...

RIP Speedy. His death was as quick as he was. Though nervous and fast, He had to die On his way to eat An old french fry.

Hey, that's my local range! I'm still tuning my new Blackwolf but I intend to join you in benchrest someday. I'm going to try NRL22 as well, when I'm ready. How was the weather for the match? Crazy winds lately.

So I figured out one thing that was working against me. I was using an illuminated reticle and it was very visible through the objective lens at that close range. I'm going to start camping out with it turned off from now on.

.22 from a 23" barrel

I just got done playing with white and I'm getting around 80-100 fps spread from min to max. That's more like what I was expecting. I upped the regulator to 140 bar and I'm really liking the results. I'm staying with white for pellets. .22 caliber, 23" barrel

How much FPS range should I be getting from the power wheel? I'm running the red spring with 100-120 bar on the regulator and I'm getting a very small spread between min and max. I'm thinking of switching to the white spring, what do you think?

This seems like the right stuff, yes?

Thanks, I'll go get some silicone grease and give it a go.

I was degassing it to lower the regulator and wanted to be sure it was empty. And I don't know what I'm doing.

It's possible that FX has the most reports of this simply because they are very popular guns.

Good point! I did try to convince them, but I wasn't a jerk about it so maybe that helped.

I don't really know what I'm doing, but I have a bottle of Snoop fluid. I put some around the threads of the fill nozzle, no bubbles. Same with around the air bottle attachment, the regulator gauge, and the bottle gauge. I assume that the bubbles would appear immediately if there was a leak?

Dang, you all are confirming what I thought. Unfortunately it's a new gun, a Daystate Blackwolf. The only thing I've done that could be related to this is I took the fill nozzle completely out. I'll check that first. It's definitely under warranty but I am not excited about the idea of sending...
