Why 300 Bar?

Why does shops sell 300 bar bottles for Pcp guns, if I can use a much cheaper 232 bar bottle?
The gun only need max 200 bar, it's that right?

Yea mate but you will get alot more fills from a 300 bar, that's what I'm lead to believe anyway mate

say you wanted to fiill a small glass, from a 1.5L bottle of coke you might get 6 small glasses.. but from a 2L bottle you might get 8

 

same with the 300bar bottle you can fill your gun to full pressure more times than the same sized 232bar bottle, for example 7L

I have 10 L 232 bar and it fills the R10,Ultra and HW100kt at 200 bar and get a lot of fill out of it

 

You have 300 bar in a 12 liter bottle of that you can use 100 bar as you are filling to 200.

So 12l X 100 bar is 1200l

The AA410 has i think a 150 cc tank, so 150cc times 100 bar is 15l ( because you are filling from 100 to 200 bar )

so 1200l / 15l = fills

More air pushed into the same size space = higher pressure and more fills for your gun. Simples!!
