    How Delicate is it?

    In general, how delicate is a PCP rifle? No specific brands, but everything. Or maybe if you have knowledge of one style being better than others. Example I can think of: I'm out hunting and I bump a tree limb with the barrel. Is that going to mess up my point of impact? Will I need to...

    Tuning Inconsistent! Ugh!

    This pretty much sums up how inconsistent my Royale 500 0.25 is right now. I adjusted the hammer spring a half turn from all the way in and the Huma regulator is at 145 bar. I filled the gun to 200 bar. I had 4 JSB 33.95 grain Mk II pellets in the magazine so I shot those. I'm using the FX...

    Tuning FX Royale 500 and Huma Regulator

    So I decided to replace the stock installed (by AOA) FX regulator with a Huma in my Royale 500, 0.25 caliber. I'm using JSB Exact Heavy Mk II, 33.95 grain. I am using the new FX Radar Chronograph. This is a older Royale (circa 2015, internal regulator, 3 position power wheel only). Power...

    .30 vs .25 - Caliber Selection Thoughts

    How would you fill in the blanks? "I like a 0.25 because it's ___________________" AND/OR "I like the 0.30 because it's ___________________" No gun models; just PCPs in general. It's all about the best aspects of each caliber. Range, power, ballistics, cost, shot count, hunting, bench...

    FX Regulator - adjusting pressure

    FX Royale 0.25 with the FX regulator (prior to the "AMP" version). Regulator was at 128 BAR (where it seemed to drop off the regulator). I am trying to get the 33.95 grain JSB Heavy Mk II up to 830-840. At the 128 BAR, I was shooting the LIGHTER 25.4 grain at 874.4 avg, ES = 12.08, SD 3.87 I...

    PCP's air resevoir

    I had to get my large carbon fiber air tank hydro tested because it was past 5 years old. Do the air reservoirs on PCP rifles need to be tested? I have an FX Royale with an aluminum resevoir.

    Royale leak question

    This applies to the Royale 500 I have, but should also include others in that family of airguns. I have a leak out the barrel that I am trying to fix. Watching the Ernest Rowe video provides good information (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uh6KfG-LnLI). Everything I have checks out against...

    I sprung a ....

    LEAK! It's an FX Royale 500 in 0.25 with the FX Regulator installed by AOA. The symptom is there is a leak sound after the fun is fired, and lasts for maybe 20-40 seconds. It's very faint - it needs to be quiet in order to hear it. AND ... it does not happen all the time. The gun seems to...

    WEIGHED A FEW...Nielsen Specialty Ammo 0.25 34.7gr

    Since I had been weighing the JSB MKIIs and sorting those, I ordered some of the Nielsen Specialty Ammo (NSA) swaged 0.250 34.7 grain hollow point ammo. I ordered 100 pellets ($20 + 7 shipping). These are the ones intended for high powered PCP air guns (FX Royale 500), and are the lightest of...

    Refilling PCP changes POI

    Why does my Royale 500 change POI whenever I refill it? I just refilled from a CF bottle (filled at a paintball place weeks ago). I went from 150 bar to 200 in the rifle. It has an FX regulator installed from AOA when I bought it. The POI (at 75 yds) moved up about 3 inches and to the right...

    JSB .25 caliber 25.39 grain versus MkII 33.95 grain

    JSB Match Diabolo Exact King .25 Cal, 25.39 Grains, Domed vs JSB Match Diabolo Exact King MKII Heavy .25 Cal, 33.95 Grains, Domed PCP: FX Royale 500 .25 (same settings used for both pellets; POI is not the same though) Has anyone done any comparisons between these? I am wondering about down...
