bud 5 Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Hi all, i am in the process of giving my Stealth a bit of a tune as it was running at a poor 7ft/lbs The top-hat was wobbly on the valve stem and had been glued on fairly crudely. So I made a new valve stem and top-hat on the lathe, fitted them, then checked the power using the chronograph. It is now running at 11.96 ft/lbs using Bisley Pest Control pellets. This is obviously too close to the limit so will need to adjust the power. I understand it is best to set the gun up with the heaviest pellets available? So my question is, what are the heaviest .20 pellets? The heaviest i have found are H&N FTT at 15.10 grains, are there any heavier than these? Many thanks, Paul. Quote Link to post
pav 481 Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 h&n in .20 are aprox 11.4 not 15.10 think your mistaking them for .22 Quote Link to post
bud 5 Posted June 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Thanks for correcting me i was going by this website http://extorian.co.uk/shooting/pellets.html Looks like Beeman Silver Arrows are heavier anyway? Although I'm not sure to trust that site now. Quote Link to post
andyfr1968 772 Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Logun Penetrators tip in at 15.6 grains in .20. Quote Link to post
bud 5 Posted June 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Thanks Andy I'll get some of them then i reckon. ATB, Paul. Quote Link to post
andyfr1968 772 Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Give them a go, mate, but remember that the heaviest pellet gives more power from a PCP is just a general guide, and not set in stone. All guns are different and it may not be the case with your's. Set it to about 11 with a mid weight pellet and you'll be safe enough. Cheers. Quote Link to post
bud 5 Posted June 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 OK mate thanks I might get a few different tins of pellets of varying weights then. I have only tried bisley pest control and bisley superfields as these are what came with the gun so not sure if they are best suited for it or not. As soon as i have the Stealth working properly i will be starting on the HW77K, so might be giving you that phone call in the not too distant future Thanks. Quote Link to post
