MirokuMK70 Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 I fancy chopping in my Lightning xl for an ultra - question is, i've only ever used Springers so have no recharging kit (and it's all a bit of a mystery to me) What would be the cheapest and easiest way of charging a PCP and what kind of figure would I be looking at to do it? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edward Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 I have just got an ultra .22 after trading in my hw95k and I use a pump because its easier you can pump it up whenever and wherever, and the ultras reservoir is so small it doesn't take long to pump up. I get 35 shots from 180bar until accuracy starts to drop and thats around 90bar so its not a massive effort to pump it back up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat toad Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Hi as Edward said 180 is in the sweet spot but you will need a bottle if you have tench regulator fitted I now fill her up to 230 bar get about 80 good shoots so glad I didn't sell her Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MirokuMK70 Posted November 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Cheers for the replies lads. Is the Ultra for any reason a better gun in .22 than .177 or vice versa? I might add for info that my XL is .177... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconFN Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 There's no reason why either will be a 'better gun' although, other than the usual .177/.22 arguments, you will get more shots per fill in .22. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
