Very nice. I have been looking into pre-charge air guns. You put together a nice example. Great Job!

I see your regulator is set at 1300 psi . Do you know what your fill and ending psi were ? And what fps the 10.3 pellets were ? Nice tight group . Marvin

I was testing both pellets at between 14 and 12 FPE. I was only testing 20 shots at a time so did not pay attention to psi. I want to get the extreme spread down to 10 if I can then I'll do a full fill and shoot down to set pressure and see what the final shot count is.
