There is usually a SWP sticker on the action, this is the ideal filling pressure for your gun.

SWP =Suggested working pressure.

Actually - the SWP and the sweet spot are two very different things! I suggest you try running it at 180 BAR (and no more) down to 120 BAR - get it zeroed and shooting pellet sized groups at 30 yards first - by running it at the sweet range of pressure.

 

Then, once you know what the rifle will do through the middle pressure range, fill it to 200 BAR and I bet the first 20 shot are all over the place - then as the pressure drops back to around the 180BAR mark, they will suddenly be bang on target and all going down the same hole again......until you get to about 130 BAR, when they will suddenly go off all over the place once more. This is nothing to do with the accuracy of the rifle, it is purely down to the pressure on the valve that the hammer has to overcome. The valving is set to run through the sweet range of pressure and outside of it the hammer and valve are out of their comfort zone, even though it is all pressure safe.
