I would say that I have found other people's tuning parameters to be helpful as a starting point for me. But I think the focus should be on the velocity of the pellet and not necessarily on the tuning component. Now, I know that it has to be properly tuned to get the velocity but I have found...

I dispatched a couple of dozen very large green iguana, an invasive species in florida. My longest shot was 70 yards and I use both my 25 caliber and 30 caliber.

Very nice. I like the changes. Going to work on getting used to it but I think it's going to be much better.

I just read the best pellet review I have ever seen. The author should be, well, an author. For a great laugh, you have to read this...

I believe what's more important than tuning specs is pellet speed. Each manufacturer and weight has a sweet spot for a certain velocity. If I can get that, I can tune my M3 to that velocity myself. For example, if I know that the h&n hunter in .25 caliber does best at 890 ft per second, then I...

Thank you for all the great feedback. I am going for the Huma.

Any recommendations on good digital guages for the FX impact M3?

Finally got that pesky coyote that has been killing my friendly bunny rabbits (and a few chickens). Head shot at 65 yards with the FX Impact in .30 caliber and the Pulsar Thermion 2 XP50 thermal scope. Pretty much dropped him in his tracks.

Is there a sweet spot with regard to feet per second, in general for different calibers and pellets? I guess what I am asking, is ballistically speaking, do pellets perform best at certain speeds. I know it's a broad question but it would be nice for a starting point on tunes. For example, is a...

Good point. I just added mine to show that the barrel is 700 mm

Set up my impact M3 .30 caliber today. 700mm barrel. Finished my tune and hitting quarter size groupings at 50 yards. I have the first Guage said at 150 and the plenum at 120. The front valve is out 4 and 1/2 lines. I have the macro wheel at 16 and the micro at 3 1/2. Shooting an average of...

I am selling a never-been-fired factory NIB .30 caliber AEA terminator. Asking $699 plus $35 for shipping. Feel free to call me at 727.442.9117. Frank

Shot a few rats from my neighbor's chicken coop.

I have been trying to limit calibers to make life a bit simpler with respect to stocking pellets and standardizing performance. I am settling on .25 caliber as it seems to meet pretty much all my needs. I have used it to dispatch targets as large as a coyote (clean kill with a head shot) and...

I just got the AEA Terminator in 30 caliber. This was a replacement for a bullpup that was having a bunch of problems. The rifle is a beast and I can't believe how hard it hits. It's actually more than I need so I'm going to sell it. Wonder if anybody else has had experience with the 30 caliber...
