Bisley magnums 10.65 = 11.3. qys 9.56 =11.5 jsb excact 8.44 = 11.8 I altered my power on my fx last week and these were the results, it's no diffrent with a 22 I should say that over distance then yes the heavey pellet does hold its energy but not at the barrel, and that why lighter pellets could put you over the 12lfb Quote Link to post
Fellman Mark 607 Posted May 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 Right I’ve tried different pellets and cleaning the barrel no difference put I’ve managed to adjust the power myself here’s the results Quote Link to post

That is why tuners test with 10.3 gr in .177 and 16 gr .22 Quote Link to post

The average on that 600.7 fps at 11.7 flb Quote Link to post
Fellman Mark 607 Posted May 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 No real difference in the heavier pellets to be honest but they weren’t a lot heavier Quote Link to post
philpot 5,038 Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 Heavier pellets have ALWAYS increased the fpe when ever i have used them in sub 12 rifles. It is not uncommon for Daystate rifles to be low on power but for GOD'S sake, do not sent it to Daystate to have the issue looked at because they will not fix the problem and charge you plenty. You have some good guys in your neck of the woods such as our Jimmy, or better known as bigmac97 who may be able to point you in the right direction or send the gun to Ratworks tuning house in Leicester who did a great job on a couple of Daystates for members on here. Never heard of lighter pellets putting any rifle over the 12fpe limit and in that case why do police test sites keep heavy pellets to carry out checks if an owner doesn't supply their own ???

Fellman Mark 607 Posted May 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 I alway use Paul Sewell to service my guns he does a top job at a fair price out at the minute and it’s shooting a lot better I’ll put pictures up when I am finished thanks for the info Quote Link to post

airbourne 128 Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 So in theory you could have your rifle at say 11.3flb with your favourite all round pellet and change the pellet for some reason and be over the legal. There are a lot of diffrent pellets on the market varying in weight and how they are made Quote Link to post
villaman 9,982 Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 Police would check with every pellet available to see if it goes over . 8.44 you should have that running @ 11.3 ish same with 13-14 gr pellet in .22 . like I said airgun tuners normally set PCP guns up with a heavy pellet , something like JSB 10.3 gr in.177 and AA field 15.9 in .22 Quote Link to post
