Alright, reporting in. Spent the day again shooting. I feel like I was able to make actual progress today. I followed the steps described here, in the vids, and also called up Utah Airguns and they helped walk me through some stuff as I did it. I got my reg at about 125. I saw the best groups...

Ok, thank you. Then I’ll try seeing if I can get the accuracy to dial in from here. Appreciate the help!

Ok, followed the entire process again from the beginning. I’m currently at 120 bar on reg, macro 16 and micro 4.25-ish. Valve adjuster is at about 4.5 but I haven’t started messing with that yet. I’m currently at about 920-ish fps. Do you think I should still try to aim for higher speeds? I’m...

You sir are a saint. Thank you for trying to help me. Due to something else I ended up not going into work today. So I have the day off and will try it again once more. I have about 600 Pellets left at this point. I ordered more yesterday but they’ll be here tomorrow or the day after. I’ll...

Ok, I’ll give the valve some tweaking to see. Thank you for sending this. I got work the next few days so I probably won’t get to try again until this weekend, but I’ll definitely watch this entire video again and absorb as much as I can from it.

I was struggling with doing that. It seems that I can’t get the speed much higher than 908. For example, my speed would be around the 870 range. I moved my macro wheel up 1 and my speed would go down (I would do several shots to confirm). I’d back off on the macro wheel and try the micro wheel...

Welp. Spent quite literally the whole day today tuning. Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of pellets. Followed the processes described here. It seems that either 860-ish or 890-ish is where I’m seeing the best groups at 50 yards. Once I move back beyond to the 75 or 85 yard range…eh. Not great...

Out of curiosity, if I try the .25 grain pellets, what settings do you use and what speed are you shooting them? Maybe I’ll get 1 tin of those to see. I’m currently tuning at 50 yards, but I need something that I can use at 80 to 100 yards for our ground squirrels. I’m actually about to order...

Ok, lotta good info here. Thanks, everyone! I got today off work and it’s a nice day with no wind so I’ll be trying all of this today once it warms up a bit.

Thank you for the response! Lotta good info… I’m getting my pellets from Utah Airguns. I have noticed a few bent skirts on some. I don’t weigh them, but I do visually inspect for bent skirts and separate those out. My process for tuning seems backwards from what you described. I start off by...

Hey everyone. I’m really struggling with my rifle and was hoping for some pointers. Feeling very frustrated and discouraged here but trying to remain hopeful. Impact M4 700mm .25 cal Shooting 33.95 grain JSB Diablo Mark II pellets Element Nexus Gen 2 optic Impulse Air 1350 moderator I’m...

Nope, I’m still here 👋 I’m liking all the posts I read as I get to them. Just busy with harvest and my other job at the moment so it’s not as much activity on here as I would like. Yes, that is exactly my main concern. If I’ve been a firearm guy for years and years, are high end precision...

Ahh, my bad, I wasn’t trying to add any confusion. Re-read my second post if you have a moment. My brother in law got the Panthera, not me. I’ve never gone hunting with a PCP before (I use a pellet gun when my dogs chase or spot a red squirrel up in a tree, but not a PCP). He moved to Idaho now...

This is great info. Thank you! I have an Arken EPL 4 on my .17 HMR right now. I do like that one a lot.

In your experience, which caliber has the flattest trajectory? And how problematic is low wind (say between 2 to 9 mph) with each caliber? Or I guess do you prefer the Boss because it’s a .30 cal, or do you think any other caliber is better? I’ll definitely check that one out. I appreciate the...
