Fellman Mark 607 Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 Hello lads I’ve just Chronographed my Daystate air ranger .22 with field target trophy’s 14.66gr and don’t understand it to be honest this is what my chrombro said over 5 shots I no there’s some difference in the numbers but will it make much difference and what ftp is my rifle first time using a chrono thanks in advance mark Quote Link to post
airbourne 128 Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 Try some lighter pellets mate it should bring that flb and the fps up, the first shot is ok on power but the rest are low, it's ok but I would sooner it be shooting at about 11.5 flb 1 Quote Link to post

Fellman Mark 607 Posted May 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 Ten shot string Quote Link to post
airbourne 128 Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 That's averaging out at 10.374 flb 563.5 fps with them pellet which is low, I would try some lighter pellets that should put you flb up with out going over the 12 flb limit. But saying that if they are hitting where you point and you are happy then that's fine.The Combro CB-625 mk4 tells you all you need to know takes any working out of the equation 1 Quote Link to post
Fellman Mark 607 Posted May 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 Thanks mate I am happy with the pellets I am using so might just drop the gun off to be turned up a bit I couldn’t see a lighter pellets is there any you would suggest I try thanks mark Quote Link to post
airbourne 128 Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 I am a 177 pellet man, have you cleaned the barrel the reason why I say is because the shot string itself is not bad it's only 7 flb spread Quote Link to post

villaman 9,983 Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 Give AA fields 15.9 gr ago , but try different pellets as every barrel is different AA fields JSB 16 gr probably the best pellet to test readings with , most efficient weight of pellet for PCP guns to be tested with Quote Link to post

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 Quote Link to post
Fellman Mark 607 Posted May 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 Thanks lads I’ve got a tin of jsb exact I can try they are slightly heavier and will try a barrel clean as well Quote Link to post
