just wondering what everybody is getting for pellet speed with 18 grain pellet on various power levels. Mine does a max of 880 on max power and that seems a little low
Fx impact .22 pellet speed
- Thread starter AR
- Start date
I don't have a true chronograph, but using the chron connect in the basement, I am getting about 932 on power three. I'm not sure how accurate the app is but it was pretty consistent and I measured to the inch. I am using the same weight pellet as yourself. Where do you have the valve dial set?

I meant the one over the bottle, the one that adjust the hammer spring flow? I hope some of the more experienced members can help because I am new to this too. Your regulator may be set different. Is yours limited to 12 ftp?

12lbs limit would give around 570fps max.
@AR - if the regulator is set at 120bar or above, then open the valve knob (between the bottle and barrel) gradually until the desired fps is reached. At 120bar reg, you should be able to reach 910-920 with the 18gr. At 140bar, 960fps is easy.

It's screwed all the way out to the 4th line. And no it's not limited to 12 fpt. My reg is set around 120bar I will try upping the reg till I get 920 fps

At 4th you are very likely wasting air.
Set the reg to 135bar. Close the valve fully and then slowly open it until 920 fps is reached. It should reach that around the 3rd mark with reg set at 135bar (on gauge) and wheel at Max.
And 120bar on the FX gauge is likely 110bar actual or thereabouts. So setting at 135bar on gauge (125bar actual) would be a good start.

@AR if after you try what Verve have recommended here and still can't get the power needed then this is what you need to do next.
follow Ernest's video to adjust the power wheel.
