CoolhandMal Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Hi all, being a newbie to the world of the PCP was wondering if someone out there could explain to me the power difference between 150 down to 100,what I mean is,how much distance and penetration does a 22 pellet lose when the pressure drops to as low as 100?i have shot rabbits from 30-45 yards at 150-130 but I am a little reluctant to shoot them with any less power as I want a clean kill,looking forward to your experienced comments,cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard1951 Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 not sure what you are quotin but suspecr it is the presure in gun in bar and the consistant high to low presure where consistancy occures , but this will differ from one make to another and is not relavant .

FalconFN Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 I get consistent power from 180 to around 100, but it will depend on your rifle. Best way to check is to get a chrono but if you don't have one you can just zero your rifle at around 170, which is likely to be within the "sweet spot", then fill up to max and shoot a series of targets, say 5 shots per target. You can compare them to see when the pellets start to drop below the centre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolhandMal Posted February 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Thanks for that,your information is much appreciated I will try that,incidentally,I have an Hatsun AT44-10,it's quite a hard hitting gun compared to my Brocock Hunter!cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitchy Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 buy a hw100 st or kt or rpaif 7 mk2 so its fully regulated so you dont have to worry about power loss because mint stops shooting full stop after 400 shots and wont fir euntill its filled up again because its fully regulated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
