paulos Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 i have a lightning with a strut in it as well, a lot smoother i think. ive used webley lazapells well through mine, as well as rws superdomes. all barrels are different though so you'd be best trying a few different until you find one that suits it best. good luck with it!

king ratcatcher Posted March 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 yea. there very smooth cocking action is good, and as you can leave them loaded for longer periods of time its just that more conviniant then a spring. im basically going to use it for hunting so i might try supper h points, i am currently using daystate ft and am managing ok groupings but wouldnt mind trying a few diffrent brands. cheers m8 lee.

neilbe2 Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 i tried quite a few brands through my hw90 and the rws superdomes were my favourites for targets and hunting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roblade Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 go to pellpax and get a sample pack, think it has about 30 different pellets in it (10 of each). ROB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 Gas Rams probably take more damage being left cocked for long periods of time then a spring, as you have all the seals. Teh only time springs get soften enough to reduce velocity, is when they are used a lot. its all the movemet that weakens the high tensile steel, no the fact it is squashed.. thats not how the metal behaves like many people still think to this day. Spring technology has gone very far now with new steel making procceses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_jack Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 thats a fair point, i never looked at it that why, some peeps say when you leave a springer cocked the amount of fps that is lost isnt even worth moaning about, its that low Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
