That rifle has enough power to shoot slugs if you fancy too. Congrats on the new gun, don’t think you’ll be disappointed as they’re a ton of .22 cal pellets to choose from. Might want to try the redesigned monsters out of it too. You’ll want to find that sweet spot too in the fill pressure. I’d start off at 190 bar and see what kind of shot string you’re getting. Play with the hammer spring alittle. Mine came shooting 1000 FPS with the 44 grains, at 200 bar, but it was a decrease in fps every shot by alittle bit. They’re fun to shoot, extremely light weight and pretty quiet until you crank the power up. That mod will help some with the bark, but I think you’ll like it in the 30-40 fpe range.
