stubby Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 ok, its been a few years since I had a pcp and need advice on filling the buddy bottle, can remember filling my old s410 to around 200 mark, but was that psi or bar?? on the main filling bottle gauge, I have a dial with a black line for BAR and a red line for PSI the 200 mark is at different points, so what one do I go for?

TaxiDriver Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 On the bottle on the gun the maximum pressure should be marked, Sorry don't know why came out shouty bold, for example on my R10 MkII it's 232 bar My dive cylinder is 12litre 300bar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaxiDriver Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 200 is maybe errring on the side of caution probably worst that'll happen is your shot count will be lower ? Some people talk of their gun having a 'sweet spot' (an ideal filling level if you like) so I might experiment between your 200 and 232 Maximum ?

bigman Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 232 if fine I always filled mine to 200 ish , the s10 is regged so there shouldn't really be a sweet spot so to speak , it'll just fall off the reg around 90-80 ish hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGHT SEARCHER Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 (edited) Your Super 10 is fitted with a regulator so it dose not have a sweet spot. It will shoot at the same power from 232 BAR down to app 80 BAR. If your gun is a .22 cal you should get around 100 full power shots out of a 232 BAR fill. Filling your buddy bottle is easy but there is a procedure to follow. You can find it on YOU TUBE has well as de-burring the mags so they are smoother and don`t miss cycle. To save your threads and the buddy bottle O-ring this is how to take your bottle off. Turn the buddy bottle one and half turn. Then fire gun with no mag in six to ten times. It should run out of Air if not turn it another half turn and fire it again ten times. You will hear the air getting less and less. Then you can take the bottle off with ease. This stops the bottle being tight all the way off and blowing high pressure air past the 0-ring. PS/ On You tube just put in BSA Super 10 and you will find lots of vids. Sorry Bigman I started typing then the evening meal was ready and an hour had pasted.
