Update: Recieved the .177 hammer weight from FX and it is significantly lighter than the .22 hammer weight I was running. So long story short, after running the tuning/accuracy gamut, 100bar reg with finely tuned hammer spring yielding consistent 925fps using 10.3g FX pellets at 60+ shots per fill. The groups are TIGHT and flyers are history. I am DONE tinkering with this rifle
How many shots per fill were you getting prior?
Or to be brief, what was the gain in efficiency, either thermally or volumetrically?
Based on his original post he should have been getting 70 shots at 915. He indicated he was using 2 bar per shot. 230 bar fill and 90 bar reg leaves 140 bar. 140/2=70
If he (after tune) got 64 shots (at 925 as opposed to 915) he broke even. If he got 63 or less his efficiency is lower, if he got 65 or more his efficiency slightly went up.
Based on the 210cc of air, 230bar fill, 90bar reg, 10.3 g at 915 for 915fps = .75 fpe/cuin
If he is now using a 100bar reg and shooting at 925fps for 64 shots then his efficiency is still .75 fpe/cuin
If 60plus=69 then is efficiency is now .81 fpe/cuin. If 60 plus = 61 shots then it is just .72 fpe/cuin
While it looks like his efficiency has basically stayed the same, a decrease in group size is a win.
