Rimfireboy Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Ive read reviews on the Internet about people saying that their BSA's have been well under 12 fpe, like 9.5-10 fpe. Anybody on PW found this to be true. I think they're tamper proof now, so you can't tweak em up if you need to. I was thinking about a .25 scorpion for ratting but I won't bother if they're down on power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find any evidence but yes, I've also heard that the factory setting is a little lower than others, 10.8ft/lb rings a bell. Just because they are anti tamper is doesn't mean you can't mess with them, just means the warranty is void. Re a sub fac .25, have you considered hoofing paving slabs at rats instead?

That's why they need to be nudging twelve. I don't think any lower would be much cop and that's why I was asking the question really. I had a supersport .25 when they came out and it was bang on twelve ft lbs with rhinos. It worked well at the ranges I have in mind. I also shot a few rabbits with it. The heavier pellets were useless though at twelve ft lb, I agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_No Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 (edited) Chrono'ed two different Ultras smack on 11.5 ft/lb with a 16gr pellet, time and time again. My mates AA on the other hand... barely over 10! Edited June 29, 2012 by D_No Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
