So.
As i am seemingly able to shoot heavier slugs now in my .177 - 4.5 mm Maverick ( 20 gr at 950 FPS / 130 BAR ) and having just ordered some 24 grain, i figured i better see where i am on more power / speed.
And that was kinda nowhere, adding 20 BAR more for 150 on the regulator, and well i had to find my heavy brass hammer from the tune kit ( i was already using the lighter one of the two )
And that worked just fine and i can now push 20 grainers over 1000 FPS if that is desirable, and i assume the 24 grain ones will be mid 900 FPS
Downside, well maybe not for a fat lazy old SOB, the cocking handle, well now it is a exercise to shoot it would seem, my Two shooting 16 grain, well i would not insult it by even comparing the cocking force on the two rifles CUZ it is that far apart.
Problem : I haver already broken 1 cocking leaver on the Maverick, shooting much more relaxed weight / pressure / hammer weight.
Now wondering how big are the upper arm on .30 CAL shooters, those must take some cocking force, or have hammers much more heavy ( tungsten )
