I'm playing with my Cricket Carbine, and am getting some funny results
Kalibrgun reg at factory setting, hammer at factory, which is turned in probably 3 turns or so from flush.
Results 18gr pellets 927 fps avg, 6.1 es
turned down reg 1/12 turn, backed hammer out 2 turns
Resulst 18gr 915 fps 6.1 es
turned reg down another 1/12 turn, hammer out 1 turn (total of 3 out)
Results 848 fps, 9.6 fps es
turned reg way down, like 1/8 turn more turns, hammer out flush with receiver
Results 16gr 900 fps, 9.5 es
installed brand new Huma reg, set at 100 bar, hammer out flush with receiver
Results 16gr 898fps, 4.4 es
I'm turning the reg adjuster clockwise, which should make the reg pressure less as the travel is less??
I can't seem to get the gun to shoot any less than 900 fps no with 16gr or 850 with 18gr pellets. The rifle shoots very accurate, but does seem loud to me with several different moderators. It was tuned really hot when I got it and yet it shot the best 100 yard group I've ever shot, so accuracy is not a problem. It seems no matter where I set the reg, or hammer, it keeps a very tight extreme spread also.
Any thoughts?
My next thought is to turn the reg all the way down to lightly seated on the piston, then start backing it out and little at a time and see where it goes????
