Had a chance to shoot it today. At 20 bar fill speed consistent over 20 shots: 260-262 m/sec (853-859 ft/sec) using Baracuda Hunter 1.78g (27.47gr)

The target was at 24m (26 yards) of my "semi indoor range" (half the distance from inside my shop and another half outside the door) with a light breeze outside. 10 shots with about 18-17 bar in the reservoir.
4x scope and a mediocre bench rest. Target circle spacing 1cm.

Nice shooting. Are you missing a zero on those bars?

Looks good! I'll have to get some of those hunters in.
Thanks for sharing,
Wes

Wow, so accurate with only a 4x scope!

That's really good accuracy with that Artemis. Good speed as well - av. about 856 - almost 45fpe.
Impressive indeed.

That kind of consistent, accurate power is exactly what I was looking for in the 25 cal M11, nice shooting Astolfo..!

If you purchased it from AirgunArcheryFun.ca then you can fill to 250 bar as it has the "consistent valve" and regulated parts.
(As quoted from the Manual, and the AAF website)

I don't think the Barracuda Hunters will be very accurate over 50 yards, but I love to try them out...

The Barracuda H&H 31.02gr. Sport RN's are quite accurate in my Condor.
The only bad thing, is they are rather pointy. I would rather they
were more hemispheric-shaped round nose. They did do well on meat
rabbits, although those were all head shots.

Yep , 3600psi fill on the guns from my store and Canadashootingsupply.ca.

The Baracuda Hunter 25cal. 1.78g seems a nice compromise between accuracy and power.
I have the scope zero set at 25 m. This should give a range of 20-30m with almost same POI.
Artemis M11 PCP 25 cal is quite well made and probably presenting a good ratio of price/quality. The weakest point seems to be the clip (and the interchangeable single pellet guide) that are held in place by a small permanent magnet and not very secure. A positive lock (for example a spring loaded detent) should be incorporated. Another somehow unnecessary complication is the removable 8mm air charging quick-coupling. It is easy to loose if left in place and could have been permanently attached, ideally in lower location and protected by the stock, for example instead of the stock mounted, small and less accurate pressure gauge (that actually does not work in the gun I am testing).

Thank you all for the comments,

Bill

Sorry to hear your gauge isn't working, I should have some here if you are looking for one. One thing I've been happy about with these guns, seems like Snowpeak did a good job of testing for leaks, as I havent had any that I open up to check before selling that were out of air.
Happy shooting to you!

My CR600W PCP with Altaros Regulator has two gauges, both working well. I like it as it shows how well the regulator is working. However, if you add up the total cost I paid, it was more than the M11.[emoji24]
