I'm very new to PCP and shooting but am reading everything I can find.
One manufacturer recommended spraying their slugs with silicone spray to prevent barrel fouling -
I'm not shooting their slugs but tried it on the ones I am using.
I'm shooting H&N Slug HP II 34 gr - I'm getting about 862 FPS and the STD DEV in an 8 shot string is averaging 3.5 with the slugs straight out of the can but sprayed with silicone it drops to a Std Dev of 1.8 - same average speed but much tighter range.
I'm not yet a very good shot but my group was larger with the treated pellets - opposite of what I expected -
I am shooting outdoors so there are never two exact same strings.
At 25M and 50M these are shooting interchangeably with the Diablo Match King Heavy MK II pellets - which are averaging 870 FPS at 33.95 gr. and a Std Dev of 2
Shooting an Avenge-X 25 cal at 175 bar and "5 turns plus two nudges" on the hammer spring
Thoughts or suggestions?
