Questions about new (to me) Brocock Sniper HR

[bchannell]

I just got bought a used Sniper HR .22 and have a question. It's been so cold here, that I just couldn't stand to set up my chrony and check things out, but I have a question about shot count. Reg pressure is ~145, and hammer spring is .075" from flush, transfer port on #6 (wide open). This is a .22 with a 480cc carbon fiber bottle. I'm only getting about ~40-50 shots on a 240BAR fill. Is this normal? I thought I saw a review that said something like 80-100 shots. I know this is nearly max power on this rifle, or at least it looks pretty close. I don't really care about the shot count, but I was wondering if this is normal

I don't know what is normal for that rifle, but I agree, that sounds a little low. My guess, the tune balance is not optimum, which you can work on with the chronograph, getting the reg set point and hammer spring tension properly balanced. At this point, you're just guessing.

My Bantam HR would get at least 80 shots, my regulator was set at 150 BAR, TP on high. Never tinkered or adjusted anything other than the trigger. A solid, solid gun.

you really need a chronograph ! most of us have a fx pocket chronograph because you dont have to set up anything , my gun get somewhere around 100 shots , shooting a 16 gr. around 900 if i rember right , but if you have a fx pocket crono you can get a answer quick and easy
