Daystate Does my .177 Daystate Delta Wolf shoot over 800 FPS?

[kaylaindy]

This came tuned to shoot 10.3 gr .177 well, but then I wanted to shoot 16.2 and it only has 13.4, 15.89. and 8.4 to choose from. When I try to program 13.4 it won't select over 800 FPS and when I select 15.89gr (16.2?) it won't select over 700 FPS.

Does this not have the ability to push a 16.2 JSB pellet? Do I need to get into some advanced sort of tune/settings?

Getting the 16.2gr .177 up to useful speeds from such a short barrel will require very high pressure. Probably beyond what the rifle is designed to operate, and why the preset is topping out at 700fps for 15.9gr.

On my .177 fac 700mm I shoot 16.2g jsb beast at 120bar. Ive made a factory set that allow adjustment from 700-1050fps
With your shorter barrel it should be possible at 150bar.
Problem is that the factory set that comes with your rifle doesnt allow it. You have to make a new factory set

I was thinking of going 177 in that platform but when I researched it is actually utter weak sauce. I think 800 was about it with 13.43 in the 17” and I think you need 150 bar reg to do that. However you can play with advanced settings. In my gun I can get higher speeds for a given reg pressure in advanced mode than the factory mode will produce.

OK. Thank you! Now I just have to hire someone off Craigslit to do that for me as I never learned to read (or count). And also my brain is all jacked up. I can't really do anything complicted anymore. Thank God for CL!

there are work around methods... for example tell it you are shooting .22 and select the lightest pellet from the factory menu and see how it shoots.

That's a great idea! Thank you!

Advanced mode is really easy to mess around with and get really good tunes. Not super complicated. You could also set a high reg pressure and put it in warp and see what power you get.

@engfred has posted a link to his instruction set on how to make "factory tables" for the different projectiles for the DW. Ive been working thru them to create tables for my DW HP w/23" barrel for 8.4 and 10.3 pellets. The Daystate software only has tables for those weights in the 17" barrel configuration
