I love how the simple old FX guns just keep shooting well, and looking good while they do it!
This old Smooth Twist, un regulated Royale 400 with its clunky old steel bottle will average half inch 50m groups all day, everyday.
After a new pressure gauge, and replacing a few seals I thought I'd put it over the chrony.
Averaging 890 fps with 18gn JSB's, ES of 18 and SD of 3.9, I'm happy with that for an unregulated gun.
Not many free spots left on the target after sighting in some thermal scoped rimfires, but you can see the Royale groups marked.
Some good and some average groups there, but overall I'm happy with that for a hunter at 50m.
Apologies for the messy workspace, but it's what happens when you squeeze play in between work I guess.
