I think Blue is the right choice for that. If it were me personally, I would experiment with White though.

FYI, AoA has single-shot trays for the Blackwolf that are $20. They're not listed on the website, call to place an order. They're reversible L<->R. I'm loving mine!

Just did some testing on a ghost which runs similar to the black wolf in tuning and for 20 gr and less you want a white spring and around 110-120 bar to have a lot of adjustability Blue for 20 gr and above and around 130 bar remember this is just close to the same don’t take it for exact.

I'd say maybe 30 grain and above for the Blue spring, because I was testing with 25.39 and I still like White. But yes, YMMV for sure.

Thanks for this info!

Oh well seems the ports are just too large on the blackwolf and you have to really go to the extreme to use less than max power. Not only is it expensive they made it so not as tunable as the ghost.

If you buy a non FAC barrel port, which is for a sub 12 fpe gun you can probably slowly increase port size

Are you having good luck with the groups 25.39?

More testing is needed, but it looks okay at 20 yards. Nothing spectacular, but I'm also not the most experienced shooter either.

You mean for the black wolf ? Im shooting a ghost. They are close to the same in tuning and velocity’s. And yes if you could restrict port size a little that would be another tuning option.
