I have a Sniper, and I tuned it a long time ago, to shoot 16gr pellets, 905fps, at right under 30fpe, and it's amazingly accurate.
While reading an article about the HR and HR magnum and comparing their shooting results, (which there were some math mistakes in), but they showed results of getting considerable over 30fpe on the HR (not magnum), and in the mid to high 40fpe range with the magnum.
My question is...can the standard HR go over 30 fpe with 18gr pellets? I would love to tune it to shoot 18 gr at 900fps, but according to everything I can find the max power of the standard HR is 30fpe. I know there's leeway in specs and we're only talking a couple fpe increase, but how are factory power ratings computed? I'm usually pretty skeptical of specs, as power is probably the max you can get with light pellets, right?
I know I could simply turn up the heat and see how it performs, but it shoots sooooo good now, I hate to mess with it unless I'm sure it'll go further.
