tweedledee Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Yes that will be fine .try air arms field with 5.52 on the bottom of the box ..good starting point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGHT SEARCHER Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 If you zero at 40 yds you be no more than 1/2" inch out at 30 yds and 50 yds so yes 40 yds should be good. Unless you do a lot of close range Ratting. Try it at 40 yds and see if it works out for you its easy to increase or decrease your zero.

kent Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Depends on the speed Looking some advice I just got an s410 FAC xtra. What distance would u recommend zeroing at ? I'm thinking 40 yards ? Thanks Depends on the speed its running at and the pellet- hence trajectory curve. 48 yds was ideal on my rapid running a .22 bis mag at 780 fps. In reality you need to set is up then plot the curve before you decide such a thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitsinhedges Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 50 yards rings a bell as top of the trajectory curve with a .22 AA Field pellet but I've been so busy using my shotguns I can't really remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Looking some advice I just got an s410 FAC xtra. What distance would u recommend zeroing at ? I'm thinking 40 yards ? Thanks This will depend on the pellet you use, AA Field or Bisley Magnum would be my suggestion, you are likely to find the ideal trajectory zero of each will be about 8 yards different. Then you need to decide if you want peak trajectory zero or if you want to zero at a known distance where all your quarry sit. For example, if you only have one permission and all your shooting is at 49 yards then zero at 49 yards, daft to zero at 40 in those circumstances because that works best for the trajectory zero!

peek-at Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Im zeroed at 50yds with .22 bisley magnums..... That gives me a a 1mildot holdunder at 30yds unless I turn down to half power, in which case im still on zero... On my set up a 50 yrd zero gives +1 mildot = 60 yds +2 mildot = 70 +3 = 80 download chairgun and play around with the settings to see what suits your needs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil_bri Posted February 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Tried to zero my s410 with bisley superfields ! What a disappointment !!!!!! Shooting all over an A4 page at 40 yards ! Scope and barrel band all tight, it's got a shrouded barrel moderator, don't think pellets are clipping it on way out Bought some air arms diabolo hunters today, hopefully they will be better !

Scope and barrel band all tight, it's got a shrouded barrel moderator, don't think pellets are clipping it on way out Bought some air arms diabolo hunters today, hopefully they will be better ! Do u think those air arms diabolo hunters will be ok ? Superfields .... Did they make a whistling noise at high power? Thats what I found, and like yours they were all over the place. Wouldn't be too optimistic about the AA hunters, as said above try the AA field Diablo or bis mags Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeside1000 Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Ive been using AA hunters in my modified BSA Lightening .22. at 40 yards I was getting a 1 inch group no problem, no deflection and no drop off, I would recommend them to anyone.

Devil_bri Posted February 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 to be honest, i never noticed any whistling noise, but this is my first pcp so there may well of been !! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
30-6 Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 I have the same as you, i do 40 yds with 18g AA FIELDS PLUS. I have found though that with FAC air the pellet (especially on birds) can go go right through so you still have to have a good backstop. I fill to 180 bar and get 30 shots of 31 to 34 ft lbs energy.

Devil_bri Posted February 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 i read on another forum to make sure the stock/action screw is tight. Mine is ok, and i tightened it to 5nm. Checked all mounting screws again, looked at muzzle, no sign of any pellets clipping it. Give it a few pull throughs with a rag. Now waiting on a calm day to try the new pellets - fingers crossed. Im not impatient but if i cant get it grouping nicely there will be an S410 fac xtra up for sale or else in the bin !!! lol. its really annoying me !

tweedledee Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Secret is in pellet choice,also they seldom need barrel cleaned.they are accurate rifles and i been through all the pellets and give you the best two to start on .hunters won't group i would bet money on it. Go for domed pellets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ash w Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 I use 18g aa field in my s510 fac extra. I find they work really well, but every gun is different and i zeroed mine at 60 yards. I tried bisley mag but they didnt work for me all over the place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadeye ive Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Excellant piece of Kit 50yds using 16 grn AA domed shape pellet B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salop Matt Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 In my FAC .22 Daystate Huntsman it loves 16Grn JSB exacts and 16Grn AA domed diablo fields ! It hated Bisley Magnums and H&N with the different heads (hollow and X sectioned) ATB Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superspark Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Hi all, Ive just purchased a air arms s510 carbine, Ive ranged and set the scop to zero at 40 yards, I then put 10 rounds through it all within the bull apart from the last one when I sneezed just as i pulled the trigger, dam. After having sringers for a good number of years its much easer to hit the target bang on due to almost no recoil. Anyone else find these pcp guns good to use? I managed a good 50 shots before a drop in accuracy, any one else have any views on these guns would like to hear from you cheers Darren.

Nescafem Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 (edited) I zeroed my s510 Fac to 45yards which is adviced by the chairgun pro for optimum zero range Edited March 11, 2013 by Nescafem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
