The $2000 dollar gun.

I just got a used HM1000x .25 and OH My.
Waiting on magazines but I put some pellets and slugs through one at a time
JSB 25.39GR 1050FPS
H&N Barracuda 30.86gr 994FPS
FX Hybrid Slug 26gr 1025FPS
H&N Heavy Slug 42gr 885FPS

The RAW 35CC plenum won't work with the MASSIVE shroud and moderator so I customized things just a bit:

60cc plenum (RAW 35CC & Dream 25CC)
Huben Power Dream Universal: 2500psi
Tuxing 1.1L bottle

What’s your tune for that baby?

I can go through a lot of pellets with a springer, especially with a break barrel. 100+ in a session is pretty typical.

That's a fact, especially when I'm plinking with my HW30S.

Luckily that one's in .177!

I find with my springer I am more likely to just shoot and shoot. Every group I want just another couple shots then I’m done.

I think it's more about retail therapy. They buy something nice that they've wanted for awhile and they feel good when they buy it. Then they feel good when they're anticipating it arriving and for those first few times they use it and while they accessorize it or learn about how to use it. They weren't really buying a new rifle because they wanted or needed a new rifle, they were buying a dopamine hit because they wanted to feel better.

OH so true !

That's been my experience too. I actually find them to be some of the fastest guns to load and shoot overall. Sure, you can blast away faster with magazine fed PCP's, but then you have to stop and reload the magazine and eventually recharge the gun. When you think about it, just pulling down the barrel and stuffing in a pellet is pretty quick in comparison and over a span of 100 shots is probably among the fastest loading of all guns. BB guns are going to the fastest loading of all though.

Still working through that but I am at 1700psi regulator, 33.95gr pellets and 850FPS.
29.5gr are a bit more consistent 900fps. But I have a lot more 33.95gr

But it is a HM1000x so even with my shaking groups are dime/nickel at 45 yards.

1500PSI, 25.4GR 900FPS is the high shot count setup. But have to degas to turn the regulator down. Dream Universal is externally adjustable but only upward.

Can't get anything good with 42 and 46 gr slugs.

Did you ever shoot a perfect 5 shot group through the exact same hole then keep going to see if you could get 10. Have you ever got 10 through the exact same hole. ?
