Sorry for the vague title. I really didn't know how to describe what I needed help with.
I've got Daystate Huntsman Revere .22 cal PCP. While I was at it I also got a 75 CI tank. After depending on the local volunteer fire department to fill the tank, I decided to buy a compressor,
To explain my situation a little bit further, my wife passed away shortly after I received the Daystate. For about 3-4 months I had little desire to do much of anything much less shoot the PCP. Now that I've started familiarizing myself with it I have a few basic questions.
I find that 50 shots is about the limit to keep my shots from dropping 3/8 to 1/2 inch from POA at approx 52 feet. Since I'm only shooting at paper now the last ten shots don't bother me too much. I assume this is about the usual experience of others.
My primary question concerns my tank. So far I've stopped at filling it at 4000 PSI. Now after filling my gun several times(I didn't record how many) I'm down to about 180 bar or below 3000 PSI. I understand that the compressor is capable of about 4500PSI or 310 bar. I'm not yet comfortable charging the tank to that pressure so will restrict myself to approx 4000 PSI or roughly 275 bar until I am comfortable with going higher. Then again I might be satisfied to stay at the lower level.
Since I have the compressor, I'm thinking that refilling the tank to 4000 PSI for the time being is my best plan. I have read online where some fill their guns with the compressor. I can see how that can be done but don't see how it would be any advantage to me.
Does this sound reasonable? Any advice to the contrary?
Thanks.
John
