Wolverine R 177 shot count

[Skip-in-WV]

Anyone know how many regulated shots from a 250 bar fill?

Depends on what power it's set at. AoA lists a 177 at 30fpe but that sounds off IMHO. Daystate website states 180 shots at 18fpe or 500 shots at 12fpe. If it is indeed 30fpe aa AoA website states then I would guess between 100 and 120 shots. I think Steve from AEAC has one in 177 which is one of his keepers. Im not sure what his power level is set at. You may want to send him a PM. YO!

Thanks for the info. It is at the factory setting almost. I turned it down to make it just under the 20 ft lb limit for FT. At 810 fps. It likes the origional JSB monsters.

So was yours actually factory set at 30ft pounds? I would guess you would get around 150-160 shots give or take at 20fpe. YO!

30FPE is the Wolverine R HP .177, check out the AOA video they list the shot count, the .177 RW HP will get you right around 130 shots at 30FPE, the mechanical version (Wolverine HP) around 100.

DUH? "HP" MY BAD! Speaking of a 177 RW HP I have a standard 177 RW with the 17" barrel. If I have a longer 23" barrel machined and drop it in "as-is" would it equal an OEM RW HP or would I need to use my Daystate programmer to bump up the power? Same question for my standard 177 Pulsar? YO!

No, mine is not the high power version. It shot just above the 20 ft-lb limit. I'll check out the AoA site.

This may help a little.

Curiosity question. Does the pellet make a difference in the shot count?

Generally HEAVIER weight tends to be more air efficient yields more shots than light

 

[Skip-in-WV]

Now that you mention it I've read 22 cal rifles get more shots than 177 rifles. I'm guessing the heavier pellets by resisting air flow permit more efficient use of the Air flow. Perhaps the weight takes a higher pressure to start moving and the valves closes before a lighter pellet, and less resistance use more air. I'm sure there is a better technical explanation, but my simple mind likes simple answers.

The shank size is different on the HP version. 2mm larger? One option would be to get it turned down to the correct size.

They may be more efficient (.22 vs .177) and if both were shooting at the same energy, say 30 FPE, the .22 would get more shots. However, if you’re comparing an 18 FPE .177 with a 30 FPE .22, the .177 will most certainly get more shots, despite a slightly lower efficiency number. FPE/cu-in air used would be the efficiency metric.
