    FX impact tune - bottom up or top down?

    interesting. so if I'm going for the most efficient tune I'll go bottom up, slinging high power for slugs etc top down, i'm currently set up for 30 cal pellets and want quiet effiecient tune. I'll give bottom up a try ( btw I do normally start the reg a little bit below the recommended fx...

    N/A 30 cal Slug recommendation

    thanks for all the replies. the hybrids do shoot pretty good. still fine tuning but usually around 1/2 inch at 50yrds. i'll give some of the others a try for accuracy but sounds like i shouldnt have to worry about clean kills with what i'm using. thanks again

    N/A 30 cal Slug recommendation

    Im shooting groundhogs at <50yrds with fx impact m3 in .30. Looking for the right slug. I know shot placement is key, and do headshots. I take raccoons pretty easy with headshots using fx hybrids. Been thinking to keep using the hybrids or maybe try javelins. What are others using in similar...

    is the Maverick louder than the wildcat?

    thanks guys. @2L8 , when you say tuned the same you mean around the same fpe? so if i wanted to throw slugs at higher fpe, it would be louder - correct?

    is the Maverick louder than the wildcat?

    thanks. i was thinking that the extra power is coming from extra air which may translate to higher muzzle noise. not sure.

    is the Maverick louder than the wildcat?

    i have a wildcat mk2 .25 and am thinking about grabbing a maverick sniper .25 for some extra power but am worried about noise level as need to keep quiet where i shoot. how loud is the maverick vs the wildcat? i have donny fl on the wildcat and would do same on maverick. thanks in advance

    Wildcat mk2 tune

    thanks, i was thinking of hitting it with a torch but dont want to melt any seals etc. i'll maybe try the heat gun and if it doesnt move i'll try to find someone who tunes them.

    Wildcat mk2 tune

    yes, checked the basics, thanks for asking. i'm a little stressed about adjusting the hs because i read some horror stories about stripping it and then having to drill out etc. would hate to bust up a $1,500 gun. cant seem to get ahold of ernest though. i left him an email and pm'd him here...
