Initial shot string data from the newly released Hatsan Bully 25 cal

Got the newly released Hatsan Bully 0.25cal from Dennis at IndianaAirguns.com. At the time, they didn't have the Bully listed so I called him and he ordered it. Their website is a work in progress, but Dennis is a pleasure to deal with. I got the Hatsan Bully a few days later. Spent Thurs. and Fri. evenings cleaning the barrel and mounting a scope, On Sat., I went out to their airgun range for a day of shooting. I was able to get the sidewinder scope sighted in and ran different pellets over my chrono. At 250 bar, this thing is HOT. The shot curves are declining flat lines. I think a hammer spring tweak will settle it down into a nice shot curve. I'm looking forward to playing with it.

200+ shots later, here's the data:

There's a lot to like about this bullpup. More to come.

 
Let's see if I can get a graph to post

EDIT: That's a bit hard to see so I attached the photo.
 
"Seth0764"Great info. Thank you for taking the time to post. I am interested in this one. Can you tell me the SD and ES for the first magazine?



I think I've got this calculated right. Based on first 13 shots for each shot string. Not sure what's going on with the heavy's. Shot 2 strings of them. Might be on my end or just a new gun settling in.

Pellet - ES - SD
JSB Match Diabolo Exact King 25.39gr - 66 - 19.8
JSB Diabolo Exact King Heavy 33.95gr - 44 - 11
JSB Diabolo Exact King Heavy 33.95gr - 59 - 16
Eun Jin Pointed 43.2gr - 44 - 11.6
H&N Baracuda Green 19.91gr - 73 - 22.3
 
Still playing with the data. Here's the average FPE per shot string per mag

String 1 - Mag 1 - JSB Match Diabolo Exact King 25.39gr - Avg FPE = 66.7
String 1 - Mag 2 - JSB Match Diabolo Exact King 25.39gr - Avg FPE = 56.5
String 1 - Mag 3 - JSB Match Diabolo Exact King 25.39gr - Avg FPE = 44.2

String 2 - Mag 1 - JSB Diabolo Exact King Heavy 33.95gr - Avg FPE = 75.3
String 2 - Mag 2 - JSB Diabolo Exact King Heavy 33.95gr - Avg FPE = 62.9
String 2 - Mag 3 - JSB Diabolo Exact King Heavy 33.95gr - Avg FPE = 46.1

String 3 - Mag 1 - JSB Diabolo Exact King Heavy 33.95gr - Avg FPE = 74.4
String 3 - Mag 2 - JSB Diabolo Exact King Heavy 33.95gr - Avg FPE = 62.5
String 3 - Mag 3 - JSB Diabolo Exact King Heavy 33.95gr - Avg FPE = 47.7

String 4 - Mag 1 - Eun Jin Pointed 43.2gr - Avg FPE = 81.6
String 4 - Mag 2 - Eun Jin Pointed 43.2gr - Avg FPE = 67.8
String 4 - Mag 3 - Eun Jin Pointed 43.2gr - Avg FPE = 49.4

String 5 - Mag 1 - H&N Baracuda Green 19.91gr - Avg FPE = 57.3
String 5 - Mag 2 - H&N Baracuda Green 19.91gr - Avg FPE = 47.5
String 5 - Mag 3 - H&N Baracuda Green 19.91gr - Avg FPE = 34.2
 
Before I do anything, I'm going to see how bullets perform. Once I'm done getting baseline data, I'll start working on the hammer spring until I get the desired velocity for the pellet I want to tune for. Backing the speed down should create more of a shot curve than a flat line. This should improve accuracy a lot. At this point, it's shooting way to hot for pellets. I'll start with the hammer spring, then possibly adjust the valve spring.
