I was listening to what a few members were saying about tightening groups with less wear on the rifle by using a lower reg setting. I keep telling myself I didn’t buy a high-end rifle to shoot little green army men in my basement. I got over that with my Daisy when I was a kid. But after reaching the FX stated 70 fpe on the Wildcat MK3, I decided I didn’t need or want that much power. While bench shooting the rifle, it’s fun to stack pellet on top of pellet at 50 yards and more. But while actually hunting, even with a shooting stick or a tree rest, the rifle isn’t braced as well as on the bench. Group size get bigger and I believe a lot of it is do to recoil. So I have dropped the reg pressure from 160 down to 135/140. I was getting 25 shots before falling off the reg. With the new tune, I only lost 50 FPS but gained another 10 shots. And the rifle really is more controllale.
