hi guys just thought I would share some information I have found this morning, very strange indeed, I have been having a target practice out to 40yrds with my Airwolf (regulated) BSA r10 Mk2 (regulated) and my Daystate huntsman,(standard from factory ok the rifles with JSB Exact 15.89g pellets chrono,d as follows Airwolf = 11.7ftlb BSA r10 mk2 = 11.8ftlb Daystate huntsman = 11.6ftlb these where taken after firing 20 shots through each rifle and then putting 10 pellets in each magazine and calculating the average over the 10 shots , although I must say the Airwolf and r10 hardly moved at all now for the baffling part the 3 rifles all had the same pellets put through them and where all 5.52 and 15.89 g I then put 10 Baracuda Hunter Extreme.s 19.09g through the 3 rifles and here are the average chrono results over the 10 shots, Airwolf = 11.4ftlb BSA r10 mk2 = 11.6ftlb Daystate huntsman = 11.9ftlb now is it me or what ? the airwolf and R10 lost power (both regulated) and the huntsman gained in power(unregulated) how strange is that as I was always lead to believe that using a heavier pellet would increase the ftlb of the air rifle, certainly this was the case with the huntsman but not with the other two, any thoughts on this as I,m baffled as to why there was a decrease in power with the regulated rifles and an increase with the unregulated rifle, thought please cheers Evo ps the Baracuda Hunter Extreme grouped very well upto 30yrds but after that where all over a 2p size target although non strayed outside the target but at 40yrds it would be guess work as to where the POI would be lol atb Evo
