G'day all
i understand that spring type A/R require around 500 -1000 pellets through them to get them settled , my question is what pellet weight for choosen calibre , shoot the heavyest ( don't think i spelt that right ) or the lightest pellets ???? and why do you think that ???
my taught is the heavier pellets would make the A/R work harder to get the pellet going , there for settle the A/R more !!
does that sound right or am i just plying with silly ideas

thanks

Just shoot it HB.It's an airgun not a car.
It has enough grunt to drive the heavy JSB's.

do you have it now?
How is it?
I'm still waiting so would love to hear what you think.

G'day makrand
how are you ? mate i am still waiting but i think it is held up some where at my end ????

what are you waiting on permit or R9 , hope i have not put you out


G'day Lewis
yeah guessed as much ,think i am just thinking a little to much and trying to get some discussions going , but every one is straight up answers
which is good

thanks

HB/mak: i am in the same boat waiting...... for my pta to come in the post before lewis goes on holidays. it is just like waiting for xmas as a kid.....

G'day HairBear,

I'm waiting on my PTA. Expecting to get it about the 12th July.
No you haven't put me out. I hope you get it soon so I can enjoy your pleasure vicariously.
But I have to say I'm REALLY hoping that those R9's arrive and get through customs (unmarked) before then so I don't have to wait even longer.
I started the whole process on 15th March so every extra day would be torture.
Anyway, Lewis does so much for all of us (sure he gets paid but of course he should) so if I can do him a favour then why not?
Anyway, I've waited so long that I'm practically used to it.
I'm sure it must be good for me somehow.

What's a PITA? I've heard it from Lewis and Astro now but have no idea and can't work it out.

Pain In The Arse?

Yup.You got it.

Just finished my first 400 JSB last weekend with Native Hunter. The R9 is starting to settle in quite nicely. Checked all the screws no problems.

Believe it or not it shoots its tightest group off the shoulder, tried it on the bench rest and no where near as tight a group. Good old harmonic action.

You won't be disappointed.

Brain fade setting in and I'm only fifty.

Springers will NEVER shoot off a bench!!! The more powerful they are,the worse they group.Always shoot them off the shoulder.
Do I get sick of benchrest shooters complaining about their springer's "accuracy"? Let me bore you to death!!
