This is why i pay a tuner, to tune my choice of shooting cycles , Smoothest is first on my list . I really do not care about FPE or FPS .

Hey Silver,
Let me tell you
…. PCP’s have a whole different set of tuning variable making them equally, if not more challenging to tune.Since we have complete control over adjusting the guns efficiency, power or regulating air flow etc…. when shooting pellets
.- Then if we move to shooting slugs, time to start over again

Yeah but they're stupid expensive and too easy to shootHey Silver,

Just look in the classifieds at all the PCP's that aren't selling and send out low ball offers. Catch a fish. Certainly someone will want to give you a deal just to get rid of it.Yeah but they're stupid expensive and too easy to shoot

I wouldn't pay a dollar for any PCP. I can't be bothered with them. Too much expense and maintenance on the guns and support equipment. I can shoot a 223 off my front porch in any direction. If I want more power than a springer I'll just break out a PB.Just look in the classifieds at all the PCP's that aren't selling and send out low ball offers. Catch a fish.

Yeah, PCP’s are expensive, a whole different world for tuning - that was after all, my point.Yeah but they're stupid expensive and too easy to shoot
Don’t want to get into a pissing contest on what guns are better or hold the value longer, but the challenge is consistent, precision accuracy at 50/75/100+ yards
.I appreciate both worlds

There's no contest to piss. Its apples and orange's. All have different strengths and uses. For me personally and others with my property situation, PCPs offer nothing but needless great expense and perpetual maintenance. Couldn't give me one of those things.Yeah, PCP’s are expensive, a whole different world for tuning - that was after all, my point.

This may help.
Pellet Rifle Swept Volume formula:
Rifle bore radius squared x Pi (3.14159) x piston stroke = cubed mm. Convert to cubed centimeter by moving decimal point 3 positions left.
Example:
HW95L .22 caliber 26 mm Bore radius = 13 squared (1/2 diameter) = 169 mm x Pi (3.14159) = 530.929 x HW95L Stroke 85 = 45,128.9 mm cubed. Convert to CC (cubic centimeter) = 45.128 or 45.13 CC for Swept Volume.

My hobbies still live in the mental childhood zone where they started - 50 cents a week allowance, mowing yards for 2 bucks, etc. The elegance and economy of a self-contained powerplant - needing only the actual projectile added - still dominates my tiny brain...
