New RAW TM1000x - first range outing

[nomojo65]

I cannot give you information on these internal Mods. That are posted (never tried these) but I never had any luck with the 16gr. JSB’s in any of my RAW’s I’ve had several!. Also tried these in a Daystate.177 hp. At much higher velocities, they really fall apart at 50yd.

Thanks Joe.

I’m starting to get that ‘sinking feeling’ that I now have 4 1/2 tins of 16.2 g pellets that may prove to be worthless, based on some of the feedback coming in here from you and some others as well. Honestly, I did think they would be better, but I just ordered 3 tins each from PYA of both JSB 13.4g redesigned and also the FX/ JSB 13.4g

Since the RAW is currently shooting the 16.2g at 880 FPS, going to try loweringvelocity first with HST adjustment to see if I can get the 13.4 to group at 40y. I can lower the reg from the 145-150 BAR setting at a later point, but just want to try the 13.4g now.

Yes you can lower velocity with just the hammer tension but it won’t be as economical on air as it could be, also, there is a possibility that you will get a small power increase the gun drops of reg.
You will need a pressure gauge fitted into the bottom of the block or better still a reg tester to set the reg pressure correctly

Something like this

Yeah, I know eventually I will need to lower the reg pressure to somewhere around 120 BAR range, after talking with Martin. Thanks for the reminder, and will need a reg tester.

Just an update…

I sent the TM1000X .177 back to Martin to retune for the 13.4g JSB pellet. I gave the JSB 16.2g the good ole’ college try. No good for my extensive testing. Could not get acceptable RAW accuracy at 30 or 40y.

Looking forward to the new tune!

One additional request from the interested parties here on moderator selection.

What moderators have you used on your .177 TM1000 RAWs? A couple have said / intimated to use a moderator to improve accuracy. Which ones have you found to be good?

I have a 0DB .25 & .30 cal, but that would be too big presumably for a .177 ? Also have a .25 DF Sumo.
