owl Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 Hello all can anyone advise on whats going on with my super ten. have owned it for a couple of years now and found it to be accurate and all round good performer.I recently had it adjusted to FAC 28-30LBS/FT. This is where I find my problems have started.I would have thought it would give me a relativlely flat shot to say 50 yards then start dropping off. Today I found I was missing sitting ducks!! so checked the zeroing at roughly 40-43yards and was suprised to see the pellets dropping off 3-4inhes and even then not being able to keep consistant groups of more than 1.5 inch. Used my tx200 12lbs/ft and found there was on a couple of inches drop difference compared to the FAC. Also notice a power arch as such when buddy bottle is half full, surely that should not matter as the rifle is regulated to give even consistant shots. Used air arms field pellets today and yuk not my cup of tea,give me powapell or bisley magnums any day.Would be greatful for any advice on this and FAC Airrifles in general. Many thanks David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 of 5 Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 At 29 ft/lb on fields you should get only 2 inch or so drop at 50 yds dependant on zero distance and scope height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitebridges Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 Did the scope come off the gun when you had it Fac'd? If I were you i'd start again. Take of the mounts, set your scope and re-calibrate your settings. The most important thing is the virtical. Otherwise take it back and ask for advice from the FAC'ers. You should have a mega -gun at the end of this. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roblade Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 hi david, im not too familiar with FAC upgrades. Do you know what the gunsmith did to the rifle when it was upgraded? did he change the regulator? it may be that the regulator is still the 12F/lbs reg and has not been changed for the export reg. also how many shots are you getting per charge? im not too sure but i think baout 30 shots should be close to the max number (though i may be wrong on this) not a lot of help i know but better than none LOL all the best ROB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 of 5 Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 The FAC reg is the same as the 12ft/lb reg for the S10. The difference is in the setting of the reg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darren m Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 if you,ve checked every thing else ie :- pellets , scope , mounts , stock bolts , barrel cleaning , silencer movement , and magazine alinement , then it sounds like a regulator problem ( try 30 shots over a chrono ). Some times they do play up , it happened to me , and BSA replaced it no prob . even though your guns not new , give them a call , see if they can advise you . Darren .
