FX Wildcat mk3 sniper slug results

[BZapp7]

Hi all,
Finally got time to tune my wc for 23g NSA slugs. I tried the huma reg at 100bar 1st then at 115. After much trial and error I was able to get repeatable m.o.a.ish results with a 115 reg at 50 & 75 yds. It likes .216 & .2165 at 950 fps, allbeit it cracks quite loudly, kinda unexpected. From my research I was expecting it to be quieter(I. e. a calm and relaxed gun will shoot the best)...Not in my findings. This gun also shoots jsb 18s great at 970 on a 100bar reg with a louder noise.
Also, the bc of the NSA slugs from 0-75 yds is .0675 according to aoa's calculator....Slightly off the advertised .085.
So, what do y'all think? Room for improvement? Should I make some further tweaks or try something else

Not familiar with WC's but just curious here, did you try doing your own personal BC yet? Also how consistent are these, I hear a lot of the slug guru's always saying accuracy isn't everything with slugs. I have also heard Rolef "or however you spell his name" from Airtac hunting say that a higher reg pressure results in a quieter shooting gun, (if the noise is of concern).

try 130bar with medium power wheel, it will be more quiet and efficient

I did a simple test getting avg muzzle speed than speed at 75 yards moving the same chronyout there. I know bc values can likely vary but i think my test should get me close. Of course I may know better after I measure drop at long range. True, accuracy isn't everything unless it's at the range(s) you're shooting. I'm gunna jump out on a limb and say stability is necessary but accuracy is still more important. You can have a stable yet inaccurate slug.
Thanks for the reply and the Rolef higher reg tip!

Thanks, I believe that is my missing link! It makes sense now why my Mk2 is so much quieter at a higher reg

Hey no problem! And I agree as well
