232 bar is what mine says on the side of the rifle that's max I normally do mine to 220 just on the safe side

200- 230 some are better filling to 200 bar only

232 bar should be OK as they are regulated!

That's in your opinion I find them fantastic and a lot of others do . You are like a broken record when it comes the mmc

Yes because it was probably the worst idea out, two separate hands to reload when you can do it off a bolt or lever with just one hand?

 

I stand by my claim that the MMC was ridiculous and BSA must have agreed because they have replaced the MMC with a rear bolt. If it was that good they would have kept it!

 

The only good thing about the MMC was the ability to decock a rifle, but that still left you with the problem of having ammo up the spout and nothing to get it out with until you re-cocked the rifle (more than one Ultra owner has inadvertently shoved 2 or more pellets up the barrel that way). I also know what I am talking about as I owned an Ultra (for three weeks). It was a great gun, accurate, quiet to fire with a silencer, sounded like a cat with metal shoes on a zinc roof to reload! Sold it back to the gunshop after 3 weeks.
