Hello. My first post and question. Really like the information sharing from everyone.
Wanted to see if I could tune for a bit more power out of this rifle with just playing with the hammer spring. Having no way to adjust or actually know what my reg pressure is set at, thought I'd just make due on adjusting the hammer to find it's peak.
I ended up with the hammer cap 6 1/4 turns in from first hitting the back thread. I did shot strings 1/4 turn at a time, and found that at 6 3/4 the fps was dropping. So then did my back up turning to find a sweet spot.
Filled to 230 bar going by my gage on fill bottle that I trust. The wildcat seems to be off by 10bar. (On the lower end) in comparison to my other rifles. Stopped string when I knew it was falling off the reg. Which read 125 bar on the rifle gauge. That appears to be 54 shots with the Jsb 26.54 Hades
Here is the shot string I stopped at. Getting low on lead, so any help would be appreciated if I should call it good.
