    FX Do I need a slug power kit?

    Got out and played around some more and got it shooting pretty damn good with the stx liner at 50 yards. Shot 10 shots with the 22lr to compare to and it’s pretty close to the same, hard to be sure as I have a 15-20km wind from behind but I will do further testing weather permitting. I’m really...

    FX Do I need a slug power kit?

    Well I got out again today with hardly no wind, my groups were back to 2” when I went out. I played around some, lowered my reg to 100 bar and my peak was around 1000 fps I tried both barrels down to 890 fps from about 970 nothing good, upped my reg to 110 and shot from 890-970 saw some good...

    FX Do I need a slug power kit?

    Well my slugs come in today 26.8gr nsa, got out to test quick after work went thru a whole box already, left the reg at 128 bar where It was already sitting just to see where It ended up. My peak speed was 1075 fps, I then tried it every 10-15 fps down to 900 with my best group being about 2”...

    FX Do I need a slug power kit?

    I have the superior heavy liner so it’s 18 twist for .25 cal. Then the factory superior liner is 24 twist but it’s choked for pellets. I may try both as I’m told lighter the slug the less twist it needs. Not sure about the choked part thow but we’ll see I’ll play around when the slugs come in. i...

    FX Do I need a slug power kit?

    I was shooting these yesterday, didn’t finish tuning I got it to about 1” group at 50y for 15 shot group. Get the odd one that’s like almost 1/4” for 5 shot but if I fired a 10-15 shot group they were more like 1” groups. Everyone gets lucky now and then haha. But I was only 125 bar, my fps...

    FX Do I need a slug power kit?

    I really don’t wanna shoot that heavy of a slug, the guns just as loud as my 22lr at that point and the shot count is terrible. I wanna keep it down low for good shot count and cheaper ammo.

    FX Do I need a slug power kit?

    your saying the .25 can be tricky, would the .22 be a better route to try tackle slugs? I only went with .25 bc I have a daystate huntsman in .22 and just figured I would try the 25, I ordered some 26.8g nsa slugs to test out but if they don’t work maybe I should look into changing calibers if...

    FX Do I need a slug power kit?

    If you use the reg as your primary throttle do you mean I have to get the reg set high enough to shoot so 920 fps then tune it down to 900 and try it? Then move reg up and shoot 910 fps then up and shoot 920? Etc…? I was told to go for reg high enough to shoot like 1000 then testing all speeds...

    FX Do I need a slug power kit?

    so the first time I tried slugs I spent a whole bunch of $ and got like 2-300 of every size and brand I could get my hands on, and never really knew what I was doing. I basically ran out of each ammo before I learned how to do it and gave up because pellets were so easy/accurate to 100 yards...

    FX Do I need a slug power kit?

    Ok I’ll leave the slug power kit out for now, I’ll start out around 120 bar and go up by 5 at a time or so. Just gotta wait on a bunch of slugs to come in so I can start trying, I’ll prolly just order like 6-800 of one and test it then try the other if it’s not good. It takes so much Ammo to...

    FX Do I need a slug power kit?

    Hey guys I’m looking to try tuning my 700mm impact m3 in .25 cal for slugs again (tried before but never could get anything to shoot better than 1” at 50 yards). I was just thinking before I rip the gun apart and put the heavy hammer slug kit back in it is there any certain weight of slug that I...

    Tuning What am I doing wrong? M3 .25

    Well I got out again finally, supposed to rain 60mm this weekend so glad I did. I got it down to both the slugs and pellets doing 1/2 inch groups at 50 yards. I had to up the reg 10 bar higher to 114bar and just played with the micro adjuster and shooting at 920 FPS it was back to those nicer...

    Tuning What am I doing wrong? M3 .25

    Well I got out to test it some more and I was between 1.5 and 3 inch groups at 50 yards couldn’t get any better. So I figured I’ll try tune the 33.95 pellets instead, I played around and got the std dev down to 3.4 over 44 shots. It pretty much shoots 1/2” or better at 50 and I had a few 1”...

    Tuning What am I doing wrong? M3 .25

    NYmike I’m using a 700mm barrel sorry didn’t mention that before. And TDK I like the “Canada angle” at 90% if it keeps the gun quiet then that’s what I’m going to aim for and see how it works out. Im hoping to get out tomorrow to keep working at it but we’ll see when I get finished up at work If...

    Yea I wasn’t getting anymore speed increase past 6 with a max of 960 so I just stopped there with the reg and went down on the hammer and I closed the valve .5 turns then I brought the speed back up till it maxed out with the hammer around 935. Then I brought the macro down a few clicks and just...

    Tuning What am I doing wrong? M3 .25

    Ok so I managed to get out for 30 min before it started to rain. I swapped out my 2nd reg gauge with the Digital that just came in, my pressure was 115 when showing 100 before so it was out a bit. Today I started at 100 bar and was shooting at like 980 fps on micro 7, macro 6, and valve open to...

    Tuning What am I doing wrong? M3 .25

    TDK thank you, this info is going to help me a lot, I can really grasp what your explaining and I think I have my head wrapped around it a bit better. I really didn’t realize this part that you explained: TDK : “Where the micro adjuster indicator is pointing at any time is how much hammer...

    Unfortunately I didn’t get out today got called into work, next day off I have I’m gonna go try it out. I really hope it works if not FX Technicians said send it on in so I’ll do that and surely after that it’ll work. But when I go out I’ll spend a day trying, I've got 3 boxes of ammo left so...

    Tuning What am I doing wrong? M3 .25

    Ok I’ll give that a try! So far every time I try tune everyone says start with their power wheel and adjuster knob at max with valve wide open, then was increasing reg pressure to get a little faster Then try tune it down but I really had next to no changes trying to go down till on the last few...
