Please share your Taipan Vet Std .22 tunes

Vetmx - what slug size and speed did you get the best result of of the standard Vet and what speed and reg setting did you set it at? I've a standard with power plenum with the cz barrel. thanks

I was shooting a 22gr slug that my buddy cast for me. Had my factory reg turned up to 140b and a heavier hammer spring. Put the additional plenum on my gun but it did nothing. It’s not a power plenum on a Standard. It just makes the gun longer. Even at 140b the gun was slow. Around 850fps but really accurate. I sized those slugs to .217. I tried some lighter slugs from NSA that would get me the velocity to make slugs worthwhile but I could never match pellet accuracy. I won’t shoot a slug out of any of my guns permanently if they don’t match or exceed how the gun shoots pellets. My Taipan Standard kept telling me it was a pellet gun so I finally listened and backed it down to my old settings and hardware. If you want a slug gun, buy one. If you’re in love with Taipans, get a long. You’re gonna need the runway to get the slugs that those pellet barrels might agree with moving fast enough to reap the benefits. Even then there are no guarantees.

That is how mine came from talon tunes. Shooting 18s at 905-910 fps. As good as this gun does at close range and woods distance for squirrels, I am fine with a lower velocity for a quieter shot and more of them.

I don't know if you'll get any more shots. The cylinder pressure will also drop with the temperature.
