Just put my new FX Royale 500 through the chrony. 82 shots. That's right, 82 shots, and it's not regulated!! Can that be right? Hi 888 Lo 873 ES 15 SD 3. Those are awesome numbers, especially the total shot count.
FX Royale 500 Shot count
- Thread starter chasdicapua
- Start date
My FX500 do not know the number of shots but I regulated at that speed 888ft / sCame with two problem of Fx was to lay the Kings 984 ft / s came with the hammer to maximum and have a problem with a failure 30 BAR off the manometer less, cricket this right with the manometer of the scuba tank to use to load the pcp. The FX 500 loves AIR FIELD ARMS DIABOLO and dislikes of heavy JSB or the JSB Predators 
Are you sure that is not regulated with a shots count these

Those are awesome results. I'd love to see some groups. How's it shoot? What was your starting and ending pressure for that shot string?

Just got outside a bit today for the first time, although it was breezy. 50 yard groups of between .471 and .957. I think I may need to hold this rifle a bit. Moves more when the shot breaks than my .22. The starting and ending pressure for that string was 220 - 135 bar. Sure looks like regulated numbers. I'll call Jim at Precision Air where I got the gun and see what he thinks. Mike, I could send you a picture of where the bottle meets the action if that would show whether it was regulated or not.

I'm getting similar numbers with mine and that's why I never got it regulated. I didn't see the need to.

What pellets are you using? My 500 is regulated and averages 815fps with King Heavies, 930fps with Kings and with the numbers from yours my money is on it having a reg fitted. Maybe someone slipped one in on you,lol, easy enough to check as you should see a bleed hole for the regulator drilled in just near the pressure gauge on the bottom of the action.

I will try to simplify the google translator makes things confusing.
My fx Royale 500 when it came to my hand was. Heavy JSB Cal .25 to 1 to 11 shot 280 m/s, after 250 m/s and low 247 m/s, JSB king beyond 300 m/s His problem was the tight hammer at most .I relieved almost to the end and was in 270 m/s ICC and King Air Field ARMS DIABOLO. The two have the same results. Then I experienced heavy ICC and the results got worse with the lowering speed. Predators results were also poor, with the opening of the group.The test was conducted at 60 meters with sustained winds of 20-30 km/hour. Unfortunately, it is normal, where I live. I hope whoever has come not understand now understand.The FX-500 was purchased new and is regulated and cost 996 euros.

CAN'T GET DROPBOX TO WORK FOR ME!
Shot this target with my FX 500 with JSB Kings a few years ago. Non regulated. That's 90 shots at 40yards. The last 5 or 6 were just out of the group low but not much. I am afraid to change anything on this gun. Have fun, Scott

Ugh that's a bummer about the dropbox. That sounds like a really interesting group to see a pic of. 90 shots, how large was the group ctc? How much smaller was it not counting the last few shots that dropped due to low pressure?

Strikey, I was using the Kings. This is why I got it unregulated, so I can work with the hammer spring and get the speed up so that it would shoot the heavies as well as the Kings. Once I find the sweet spot of FPS for accuracy with both the Kings and Heavies, and have a reasonable shot count, I'll have it regulated at that power.

Awesome groupings! Great consistency over 90 shots! I did something similar with my first Royale 500. It was only 40 shots but it was at 50 yards, benched on sand bags in perfect conditions. This target is probably 2 years old at this point. I'm hoping the new Royale that I have will be just as accurate but I haven't had a lot of time to shoot it yet with the windy conditions here in the northeast. Congrats on an awesome shooter to both of you!"SDellinger"
This is for the post above. 90 shots at 40 yards.
All the best,
Cliff
Also I should mention that the shift in POI between targets was me playing with windage and elevation on the scope, not a change in POI from the gun. Each group is a full clip, 11 shots.

I planned on shooting a group today but the winds here in central FL are currently running 15 + mph constantly. Not a good day to try and shoot groups at any distance. Hopefully I'll have better luck tomorrow. I won't chrony the gun but I know it has an average fps of 901. I'll shoot at 40 yards and also annotate the pressure level after every magazine (11 shots). I'll also start at a pressure of 230 bar.

I was going to try to shoot this morning before work but breezy here as well. Thanks for taking the time to share your results, I'm looking forward to seeing your groups.
All the best,

After speaking with Jim at Precision Air we pretty much came to the decision that the gun was regulated. He said there are two ways to know for sure. Take the barrel off, then take the tank off and then take the hex something or other off and look behind it. If it's just a hole, no regulator. IF there is a silver thing, regulator.
The other way would be to work with the hammer spring tension. If I turn it up and the FPS goes up, no regulator. If I turn it up and the FPS doesn't go up, regulator.
I think I like the second way better. The hammer spring tension screw as lock tight on it. I've read that you can heat it up to melt the plastic. Is that safe for the breech block? Any other ways around that?

As promised, here are the results from my quick target test today. I shot 9 magazines (99 shots). Here are the bar readings after each mag:
Unregulated FX Royale 500 shooting JSB 25.4's.
Started at 230 bar
Mag 1...215
Mag 2...205
Mag 3...195
Mag 4...185
Mag 5...175
Mag 6...162
Mag 7...150
Mag 8...140
Mag 9...125
Here are a few pics. As you will see, my POA was the diameter of a dime. I held under 3 mildots so that my target would not get obscured. I did have a few shots that I pulled and/or had bad pellets but that's no excuse. But 5 shots out of 99 isn't too bad. Please give me a little slack on that. If you have any questions let me know.
