Rich106 Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Just had my HW100 fixed (new regulator) it has lost significant power will it increase in power after I've put some pellets through it? Unfortunately I don't have a chrono. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKD Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Hi Rich, if you don't have a chrono, how do you know that it's lost significant power? Was it returned to you with a power reading? If so, what was it? I have a .22 Ultra pushing out 10.6/8ft lbs and this is perfectly sufficient for quarry out to 45ish yds. As for the power increasing whilst putting some lead through it, yes, sometimes HW100's do. Can't you get any access to a chrony near you? RFD or gun club maybe? regards Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gun was chronod when bought at 11.5 fpe. I'm going to go back to the shop where it just got a repair, seems the only option atm as I don't have much knowledge in air rifles.

Rich106 Posted May 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 once they get it sorted itl be fine.the hw 100 is a top piece of kit.ive had rabbits at 48 yards with mine.i love it I took it back and they chronoed it to 0.9 fpe :\ They're fast tracking it to the gunsmith so hopefully I will be out and about with it soonish. I've probably shot 1 full power mag since I've had it (24th April I purchased it) so I'm really eager to see what this gun can do compared to my SMK springer. I cannot wait!
