Fac Hw100 What Pellets Yous Using?

[GEOFF.223 83]

only pellet i can get to work out of her is .22 bis magnums i have tried diablo heavys jsb heavys and a few more of the good quality pellets.

Why go down the heavy path when a good medium weight pellet could be just as good if not better ? my FAC 90 loves 14,3 accupels at around the 900 fps mark, 25 fpe. very accurate and the consistency is outstanding. you should give them a try, they may not be any good out of your barrel, but they could also be amazing !

tried all light pellets accupel AAs bisley superfield pest control and many other

 

remember your hw90 is probably around 18ftlb

my hw100 is pushing bisly magnums out at 26.7ftlb

 

any thing below 18g will result in a 3" group at 40yards with my hw100

it will do one hole groups at 50yards on a indoor range with magnums but i want a lighter pellet that will give me the same kind of grouping but less ballistic curve.

You may have to use the bisleys and adjust to there curve if you cant find anything else geoff, When i got my 90 about 15 yrs ago, it was doing about 20 ftlb, but after a bit of fettling it was up to 27 ftlb, but it cruises at 25, I went from the bisleys to the accupells for the exact same reason that you are experiancing now, Hope you can find that "golden" pellet mate.

That's interesting Phil, an FAC 90 at 25ft/lb. How did it handle, was there much recoil?

i had my 90 pumped to 23 dint like the accuracy or the violent recoil and noise put it down to 18ftlb and it loved bisley pest control was very surprised it was the best pellet through it being a flat head pellet

Not realy elliot, I lenghened the stroke to the max giveing an extra 1 and a half inches of swept volume over a normal fac, downside of that was slightly slower lock time, but once i had dropped the power down to 25 it seemed to settle down, ok i lost a bit of lock time, but the accuracy was fantastic. consistency was true to form at + or - 3 ft per sec, average is 900 with 14.3 accupell. All this was only possible by remodeling the gas ram, and in my opinion is marginally better than theobens own HE system.
