Hi All,
I did not see this thread before today.
I am doing good progress setting up standard Factory settings for my .177 DW HP with 23" barrel.
So I prepared Factory settings for following
(The Pellets and Slugs in my stock)
Pellets
JSB 8.44 gr. OK
JSB 10.34 gr. OK
JSB 13.43 gr. OK
JSB 16,20 gr.
H&N Bar. FT 9.57 gr. OK
Slugs
Zan 10 gr. OK
Zan 13 gr. OK
Zan 16 gr.
Zan 20 gr.
H&N HP 10 gr. OK
H&N HP 13 gr. OK
H&N HP 16 gr.
H&N HP 20 gr.
JSB KO 10.03 gr. OK
JSB KO 13.43 gr. OK
Nielsen 12.5 gr.
Nielsen 15 gr.
So far i have made and tested Factory settings for the ones with OK on them.
Additional i will make a range of Noname Slugs and Pellets settings too.
One other very nice thing about Factory mode is that you can enter a proper name like "JSB KO 13.43 gr." not like in advance mode "KO13"
When using the Factory mode. Each of the settings like the last speed, and additional speed data calculated by the rifle will be stored under the projectile name Like example ZAN 13.
If I know Zan 13 shoots well at like 940 fps it will if not shot by close to weight slugs like Nielsen 12.5 grain slugs, since it will add data that does not fit Zan to the data set.
So for testing new Pellets there will additionally be a names like: Pel 8, Pel 10, Slug 10, Slug 13 etc.
Now the data is entered shooting at 171 bar, in my DW with the original valve (not the Ultrafire valve that i have ordered).
Maybe there will be a second profiles for lower Pressures and maybe a few for High pressures as well, since my DW is Maxed out at 960 fps with the 13.43 Gr. Knockout at 171 bar - so with the Zan 16 and 20 gr. the pressure will need to be raised to 190 bar.
But shooting 8 and 10 grain pellets in the garden could also be great with Low pressure profiles to harvest precision and shot counts.
I was so surprised to learn that the rifle came from the factory with only two factory settings - 13.42 and 15.89 Nothing else.
Just about all videos you can find is showing how clever the DW and AW are.
All show clips of easy changing speeds just with a touch of + or - to set a new speed and then shoot.
The real big surprise was to discover that this is not the common way to shoot. Most used is the Advanced mode.
But come on Daystate...... advanced mode by setting a pressure - entering a pulse width and a voltage and then fiddle until the correct speed is reached.
I do not have to set my alarm clock at my bedside, by setting 1880 hz and 78 Voltage to get an alarm at 06:30 am
Personally I am proud of being a technical nerd - and I have a Red Wolf with Heliboard so I am OK with this.
But for some of you guyz who paid the biggest $ to get a rifle where you have seen on endless videos, where you enter the requested speed and then the "rifle figures out how to get the requested speed in 3 - 4 shots"
For many of you guys it must be even harder to understand the DW and AW than getting a FX Impact to shoot ok.
When you buy like Strelok Pro - all known Scopes and all known Pellets, Slugs are already preprogrammed.
Why Is it necessary to buy a Daystate programmer to add what we all need - Known good shooting pellets and slugs.
I will finish my settings and share the settings so you can copy into your rifle with the programmer.
I will also make a Youtube video showing how to add your own prefered pellets / slugs into your DW or AW rifle's Factory mode.
You will need to purchase or borrow a Daystate programmer, where you not only can Update the firmware, but you can add your custom settings for your own pellets or slugs too.
I only had my Delta Wolf rifle for a week now. So let me say that the Delta Wolf is growing on me.
Yesterday - It was so easy to test various speeds for the profiles where I noted "OK" I did not use advanced mode at all only shot via my Factory mode settings. And Yes it worked as good as you see in all videos. Totally without have to figure out anything with like 1850 Hz and 72.5 Voltage.
I may need to correct my most accurate speeds when shooting in less wind due to it was windy and the wind direction changed a lot to make it more difficult too.
But from a small country where spring is here and my Delta Wolf was performing well - There is light ahead.........
Best regards from Denmark
