My Leshiy Classic is able to shot 25 (very consistent) regulated shots before regulator drops at 105bar. Power is 26J, .177 jsb heavy at 900fps.
Is this a low shot count?
Thanks

Leshiy 1 - low shot count?
- Thread starter barreira

Sounds about average since 177 isn't as efficient as larger calibers from a short barrel.
I have a 177 with the 350mm and 12fpe HUMA around 50 shots average after a lot of adjusting and patience. The factory reg wouldn't get as many shots.

I forgot to say it's a 250mm barrel, and fill until 250 bar.
Some guys in FB Leshiy group comment that it's wasting a lot of air.

Yep, technically, you are wasting a TON of air. Frankly surprising and impressive you can get that speed from that barrel! That barrel length is likely optimal for somewhere in the 750fps range for that pellet?

No that's OK, 130 bar reg. seems to be the most effective setting in .177 cal, my two Leshiy's is also with 250 mm barrel
Leshiy 3485 Reg 115Bar HST 22 - 288 to 97Bar:
leshiy 3801 Reg 130Bar HST 15 - 310 to 106 bar

Buy a bigger gun or a longer barrel. If you want the most out of any gun, you can’t get hung up on a certain velocity. You tune the gun perfectly to the reg setting, see what it gives you then go from there.

How don"t mind the (aparently) low shot count. I was just wondering if could get a couple of extra shots....

Well, just to compare, I've changed the barrel for .22 320mm. With the same settings in regulator and HST I get 20 regulated shots with JSB 18gr, 855fps avg.

The instructions on how to tune it. If your just a hammer cranker you might be way out of tune. Briefly. Turn the HS all the way down to like 5 clicks. Then fire over a chronograph then add one click to the HS and fire over the chronograph again. Do this over and over until the gun stops getting faster. Then go back 2 clicks slower. Now your gun is where it’s supposed to be. If it’s not fast enough, bump the reg up and start the whole process over. If it’s too fast, do the opposite.

I've already done that but I couldn't finish because the hammer was already outside of the hole and closing the gun was almost impossible, and power was still rising.

You get more shots by just shooting heavier weight pellets for example 10.34gr JSB instead of the 8.44gr. Even better yet the 13.43gr Monsters would get even more shots.

Either your reg is set too high or you missed the first spot the velocity leveled off and were on your way to the second plateau.

Interesting thread as I am wanting to learn some more. Why do heavier projectiles create greater efficiency?
