FX WILDCAT MKIII SNIPER .25 Caliber Consistency (Realtime)

Hello AirgunNation Peoples,



I have been asked, “How consistent is the FX Wildcat MKIII Sniper .25 caliber?”, a few times by AGN forum members. I may have figured out a way to illustrate this in a transparent way in this post. Remembering that my smartphone has a on-screen recording feature, I recorded my 8 shot chronograph test in realtime while shooting shot strings. Using the different JSB pellet and NSA slug ammo this WC MKIII likes and @ the power settings found to give each different weight projectile good performance.




Tools for the task:

A.M.P. Regulator’s setting is 135bar:

On hammer spring setting # “3” the first ammo’s shot string was the JSB EXACT KING .25.39 grain.

All other projectile’s shot strings were shot on hammer spring setting # “7”, and the second ammunition shot was the JSB EXACT KING Heavy MKII 33.95 grain.

The third ammunition shot was the NSA 26.8 grain slugs.

The forth ammo shot string was conducted with the NSA 29.5 grain slugs.

And the fifth and final ammo’s shot string was with the NSA 33.5 grain slugs.

The shots in the chronograph shot-strings were shot back to back in fairly rapid succession purposely. This was done to illustrate the A.M.P. Regulator’s quick recovery time. Hope this sheds light on those curious about the Wildcat MKIII’s consistency. There it is, THE END...








 
Fantastic posting again Joe ! Also your photographic skills are very much appreciated !

PEOPLE SHOULD BE AWARE THOUGH THAT IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THE SAME RESULTS THEY HAVE TO MODIFY THEIR FX WILDCAT MKIII .25 SNIPER .
(You have a double additional plenum and a HUMA transfer port installed ( maybe more mods that I am not aware of) to obtain this fine tuning in this post. Out of the box this kind of power output is not possible at all with your settings. I will keep posting on this fact as I know people are being misled by the advertised power output of this rifle and I do believe this is not o.k. . This does not take away any shine from your fine tuned Wildcat and I do congratulate you with this fine rifle !

Thank you, and yes I failed to mention that I have dual DL plenum extensions and a Huma-air dual transfer port. Figured the majority on AGN already knew. Though, even those with bone stock WC MKIII’s should still see similar consistency @ their airguns power.





Hi Joe, not to distract too much from the gun, but....how do you post those I guess GIFs? Or moving pictures & able to post. Thanks

Apps that convert short videos to Gifs. Then up load them to AGN just like a photo. Search “Gif maker” in your preferred app store?

hahaha....Joe. I have taken one pill first in order to check if indeed they are non addictive.... let’s see if they work 😉

Man that’s Awesome! Joe I always enjoy reading your post! Keep up the good work!



Good to hear!



Not my style to leave out some accuracy in a airgun post. I played around @ 50 yards this morning with all the above ammunitions on the same power settings in the chronograph shot strings. Take a look? (5 shot groups)

Dude I am loving mine. I cranked my reg up to about 135 or 140 going by the kind of vague FX manometer. And then starting adjusted my hammer spring. I have The jsb Knockouts shooting right at 900 feet per second and shooting pretty nice groups and as I turn it down I'm 10 to 20 feet per second slower with every single step down like you explained to me earlier I really appreciate all your help Joe. It made tuning so quick and easy for me

 the shot at 12 high was a sighter so I clicked the scope down a few clicks and shot a 5-shot group I think the one outside the dot I pulled. I was shooting standing off a bipod at 67 yards. That black dot Is a dime that I traced in filled in with magic marker. I think that puts me right at 45 foot pounds I could easily reach the 50 claimed foot-pounds but mine is only a 22 obviously the smaller the caliber the easier it is to achieve. Thanx again tim

Got yourself a shooter there Tim!! The tuning is a cinch! Nice!





Joe, think tank stuff! That barrel is not picky at all! And accurate with loads of power...does it get any better than that!?

I got a lot for what I paid, great value!
