N/A The most shots per fill....

Believe it or not, I have an M2, .25 caliber that not only shoots well, but I recently tested it for shot count per a friend's request.

So, I loaded up a few magazines and started from a full fill of 250bar. My friend asked me to run it until it dropped off the regulator, so I did just that.

While it was still shooting well after dropping off of the regulator, I decided to stop before possibly damaging the valve with the hammer hits. Still poking them out at 890FPS.

I ended up with a validated FX Chrono string of 142 shots. I could not believe it myself but had the sense to copy all of the FX Chrono run and recount. Sure enough, 142.

What size bottle? I assume you were shooting them 25.39gr with either a 580cc bottle or a 700cc bottle
 
My Diana chaser tube with 15cc 4500psi bottle. Not to bad I'd say lol.

It seems like the hi cap mag is the big catch in the selection . I know that there is a guy that makes belt drive hi caps for a few different models ... including some Daystates and BRK's but I'm not sure how well they work.
The Crown you mentioned has a Smooth twist X so uses the liner system.
A Uragan I shot in 177 was incredibly good and high count but the mags were smaller.
My Theoben Rapid Mk1 has 17 shot mags and gets 125 at 20 ft lb on a fill... 😁

So far the V3 500 at 12 fpe, 15 shot mags, left side cocking, and 480 bottle seems the best fit. Part of it is my V3 25 cal has been rock solid which is HUGE compared to my very undependable Skout EVO and almost as bad the G1 Impact I had.

I could also use it for WFTF or Unlimited for the fun of it.

Seems a U3 could be a candidate but I need some type of comparison. It's the latest AGT so maybe better in some ways.

Question, which companies besides Skout and FX offer higher capacity mags?

That old Theo is a neat rifle!

Was it Barry's U1 you shot. Yeah I shot it too and I remember how well it did.

"I loved shooting the AA, I find them to be better quality and cleaner than JSB until they were priced $3-$4 more than JSB and $5-$6 more than FX"

Yeah, I bought those AA's years ago when the price was the same as the others. Still have around 12 tins of 300.

AGT Vixen I. I shoot it in the Steel Challange. Our club's monthly match is 100 shots, more if you miss, and Vix makes it all the way through.

Looks like a fun match.

I used to shoot steel matches a lot with pistols and still do it occasionally. Reminds me I need to get out to my local steel challenge. I used to be fast so I feel like my body can't keep up with my mind at the speed I used to go so it's like shooting in a swimming pool. I'm still reasonably competitive with the older shooters but not against the youngers.
 
If you can get over the hi-cap necessity, Daystate Red Wolf in .177cal is pretty good. If you search for an old post of mine you will find the shot count string I did. I don't remember exactly how many it was, but it was a lot.
I had a Redwolf once.
Some things I liked but more than anything was the almost non existent cocking effort and that there was a aftermarket cocking arm that was made for it. Arzrover has some of them which I've tried on his RW's before and to me it makes a huge difference in appeal for the RW.

There's really nothing I found negative about the RW in particular but at the same time it didn't fit my short LOP well, I didn't like to charge it up, mine didn't shoot but mediocre at best(could have been the various batches of 22 cal MRD's back then), and so I found myself leaving it in the safe much of the time.

The two other Eguns I have/ and had/ have given me problems. One was a Daystate Panther and the Skout EVO. My darn EVO is a great gun in so many ways but it can't be counted on to stay working, I love it and hate it at the same, lol.

P35X-TB, 600cc, pretty sure the cocking arm can be swapped over. Looks around $700+import and prolly need to contact a snowpeak dealer to special order.

Personally I'd probably try to bottle mod something.

250cc , 15 cubic inch I think you meant.
