Doing some more tuning, thought I'd report back. I finally bit the bullet and degassed to set my regulator down to 100 bar. Surprisingly, it still can push the 25.39 JTS .22s beyond 930 fps. I was previously doing this with 130 bar and then later 140 bar. I can't really explain it but I must be saving some air over the previous tune at least. This is all with the white spring, by the way.

I'm also pushing JTS 18.8 wadcutters at the same speed. For the 25.39 I'm using 17 on the power wheel. For the 18.8s I'm using 5 on the wheel. This range of ammo without changing the regulator is one reason why I'm doing all this testing.

I don't really know what's going on, honestly. I feel like degassing and trying out something like 90 bar to see where that puts me with both weights. I never would have expected the power to stay in this range at 100 bar.

Are you getting good groups at 50 yards

Nice. Saving air ? Maybe maybe not but how you are tuned is how I like to tune all my guns. Use only the reg pressure required to get the speed I want, no more. Running this way I have found guns shoot more consistently shot to shot. I just like that. Only thing you can run into is sometimes you can be over powering the valve and wasting air if the reg is a bit low for the spring/hammer power. Doesn’t sound like you are there as if you were the power wheel would have little effect in velocity.

Still a work in progress. I think I may never be satisfied, honestly, but that's a big part of the fun. I was getting groups under 1" at 50y with my previous tune shooting 25.39 JTS pellets.

It's extremely hard to find windless conditions at my home ranges. When wind is involved, I can't really tell too much about the tune.
