I purchased my Crown about a year ago. I have done nothing to it but shoot it. I have not adjusted anything but the scope to sight it in. I shoot the JSB Exact King at 25.4 grains. The same pellet I shot out of my Air Arms S510 before I sold it. I am able to shoot 45 yards in my back yard and I constantly get one ragged hole. Now most people will tell me to leave it alone, but most you airgun buffs know you just cant do that. With all the different pellets out there, and slugs, I would like to try something else. I want to try also to do some adjusting to my Crown. There is two wheels on the left side of the rifle. The one is set on 25-30 caliber, and the other wheel on the MAX setting.
What happens lets say if I turn the forward wheel to the .177-.22 setting? Lets say I turn the rear wheel to a lower setting off the MAX setting that it's on now. My thought is this...I will probably lose velosity, but I will probably gain more shots per fill. I do not have a compressor, nor a hand pump, and so I depend on having my 4500 PSI tank filled at my fire department. Most of my shooting is at Pigeons, and small rodents that do not require as much energy to dispose of as my Crown has to offer. I would also like to try the GTO pellets just to see how they work in my Crown.
So what do I do? Just experiment with the power controls by moving them? Will I be able to obtain more shots per fill by turning them to a lower setting?
I would like to hear from you!! Thank you
