Red Wolf power levels

Jump to latest Follow Reply
This must be a state secret, can't believe no one has any information. Maybe I should present the question differently. If anyone has a standard power Red Wolf in .22, and if you know the average velocity with a given weight pellet at any or all of the power settings, I can easily convert that to the energy level. Thanks again.

Well, not really. The table gives shot count at 35 and 12 fpe. But, the U.S. version does not offer a 12 fpe setting, only the U.K. version. However, I have since found one review that indicates the U.S. version settings were 36, 26, and 24 fpe at H,M. and L settings, respectively. I assume a lower power can be programmed into the US version with the Daystate programmer, which is what I would prefer. I don't see a lot of value in having 26 and 24 fpe settings. But, I guess however they set it up, they can't please everyone.

Straight from the birth certificate with my Hi-lite 38 FPE on high.

The formula is always 100%, 85% & 65% respectively from the factory, I could check mine if you want to know exactly, problem is they all vary slightly.

IMO the much better power setting is on the RW HP, simply because the high setting works for the JSB 25g monster, whereas the low setting gives right what the std version does on low power with the 18.13g EXCEPT! you get 200 shots on low, but only 75-80 on high from the STD power gun.

I never use med. low settings on my 35FPE std, no point in them really unless you want to reserve them for tuned settings!

Thanks, that is helpful information. And yes, the HP settings are more functional, providing you stick with heavy pellets. I tried a HP and sent it back. The barrel doesn't handle 16 and 18 grain pellets well. At least, mine did not. I think it is a great rifle for its intended use, long range with heavy pellets. But, that's just not my use.

You're looking at the B type which is the UK model. Look at the HiLite which is the center column.

475 shots @ 12 ft/lbs, 75 shots @ 35 ft/lbs

Yes, but 12 fpe is not an option on the FAC U.S. model, only the UK version.

I was told that achieving 35FT & 12FT in the same gun is very difficult, I wanted exactly this for mine, the only reason I can think of is the efficiency of the gun due to voltage etc. at the low setting would not give good accuraccy.

On another note I am with Tony B the MD of Daystate next weekend for the day, so if you want me to ask the question I am more than happy to.

Question for Tony B, if convenient to ask

Can and will Daystate release a revision to the Powerset Programming instructions that is targeted toward owners with programmers rather than Daystate engineers?

Thanks

Best wishes.

The other Mark B.

I was just quoting their website. From the way it reads I thought the 12ft lbs was the low power setting, but reading through this whole thread that appears to not be the case?
