Airforce condor .20 cal

[Raden1942]

Anyone shot the condor in .20 cal? I have the 22 and 25 barrels but am curious about the 20. Airforce claims a drop in velocity on the 20 compared to the 22 due to more friction from the barrel. I was just wondering how people like thiers in 20 and if the shotcount was better than 22 and if so by how much.

Can't state an airforce perspective, but as an avid .20 cal shooter you going up against lead weight of only upper 13 grains and will be required to likely really turn down the power to stay > 950's

Excellent caliber tho and in LW barrels very accurate with JSB exact or H&N Barracuda.

Not a barrel friction issue .. but one of .20 having less area for the air to push against than a .22

With a condors power you will never need it all anyway. You will have to turn the power wheel down anyway for accuracy. Can you use a 20 cal barrel with the 22/25 air bottle and valve?

Yes they all use the same valve. I bought the condor to stretch the limits on power and shotcount. If it was overpowering the pellet i would just get a heavier pellet. That being said with the 20 cal I was hoping for the most shots i can get somewhere between 28 and 35 fpe at the lowest power setting. Problem is I have no point of reference. It gets confusing especially with the new ring lock system I have. I might just have to buy a barrel and play with it.
