Just cronoed the HW100

[Smokey 1 56]

I just finished a few mags off through the HW100, the fill pressure was about 160 and finished at 110. The results where not great although I never weighed any of the pellets. Highest was 11.07 ftlb's and lowest was 10.60 ftlb's average is 10.82 ftlb's. The spread is 0.47

 

Here is the string

10.77

11.07

10.92

10.79

10.87

10.89

10.98

10.79

10.60

10.67

10.69

10.70

10.77

10.99

10.79

10.90

 

This is the target I was aiming at, groups look very good.

 

 

Question is do you think I should get the power upped a little, my R-10 shot 20 JSBs with an average of 11.81 with a spread of 0.23 ?

 

Or am I just being persnickety ?

You wanna `up` the power ? For what reason ??

 

Can you honestly say you think there is a problem there ?

 

The only problem is the chrono . People get power mad when they get one .

 

Personally ide leave it just as it is , but if i had a gun running at 11.8 i would DEFINATLY turn it down .

 

If im honest i would rather stay at 10.5 -11 . or somewhere inbetween . The grouping will tighten at that power and the shot count will improve ( all be it a tiny amount ) .

 

Just my humble opinion .

Darn right Craig,

The RFD who tested my Ultra said it was 11.76, when the police tested it it was 13.04

 

No way will I allow any of my rifles to run closer than 11.00 ft/lbs with Bisley Magnums.

Just not worth the record

I was more concerned about the power variation, it shoots a little less with Bisley Magnums (groups are poor also)

I will weigh a few out tomorrow and post up the results, kinda thought the power shift would be small with the .177 little difference in the weight of pellets

So you have a vari ion of 16fps .

 

Over how many shots ?

 

To be honest , ive seen worse , alot worse .

 

Get it serviced if its bothering you .

 

Although my MFR has a 6fps spread over 4 mags ( 68 shots and straight from the tin ) i dont think for a minute that i would tell if it was 16fps .

 

People do get hung up on things like this , i`ll admit i did when i had my regged S410 . Now , i am much happier to check the power and get out hunting .

It is not bothering me, just the bunnies down on my permissions lol, just wanted to know if it was ok thats all. Thanks for the replies

Its fine , as long as the pellets are going where you want them , i would`nt worry

[stealthy1 3,964]

10.5 or just over is fine with a HW100, I know a lot of folk who have had the power turned up and lost accuracy, if its knocking quarry over, then I wouldn't worry about the top end power, if you see pellets bouncing off your quarries heads, then its time to panic

What calibre rifle is your HW100? Mine is in .22 and the ft/lb is around the same as yours but consistancy slightly better but that can simply be down to pellet choice. What pellets are you using?

 

I have found Daystate Rangemaster Li's to be the most consistant If you've got a .22 I'd seriously suggest trying a tin..

 

 

[Marksman 934]

try H&N FTT's mate

I used to use the Daystate Li's but swapped to the H&N's as the accuracy improved a bit.

^{Tried them both, the Li's produced some good groups but the odd flyer 1 to 2 inch from the group at 25 yards is enough for me to steer clear of them. I think my 100 is quite old and possibly prefers larger head sizes. The FTT did ok but not as good as the JSB's, can you get the FTT's in different head sizes the ones I tried where 4.5mm ?}

hi mate,what crono did you use,you say you didn't weigh any of the pellets,what weight did you put into the crono as pellet weight,if you arn't specific with a 625 crono you will get the wrong results,only asking as i made this mistake myself and the results went up a couple ft/lb.
