My first PCP,..gun arrives
So I cleaned gun, pumped it to about 2800 strictly for test fire/functionality check. Looks like regulator is 1800.
I did nothing more to rifle took it outside for test fire, functionality check.
First full magazine emptied at Pizza box target
I was able to get to 28yd target, beyond I need boots. Rifle passes functionality check and test fire. I'm almost at a loss, I've never experienced this accuracy or luck.. Beyond expectations, hopefully I can repeat.

My apologies, will give better report when the waterline recedes. If you like pizza boxes and bingo dabber targets I can certainly make more... :lol:

Bingo dauber eh? Now that is a term I hadn't heard in awhile. :lol:

Some nice shooting there. I also couldn't believe the accuracy the first time I shot a few rounds off. I need to get motivated and post some pics also.

It is a good looking rifle. Shoots well too, even with Crossman pellets.

My cayden also shoots the crosman 14.3 gr hps through
same hole at 25 yards but i dont want to use them for hunting
or dont want to shoot them to much to avoid lead alloy fouling
and would have to take barrel off to clean properly.Will save the
crosman for my hw80 as way easyer to clean the boar and not
destroy the breech pellet probe oring in the pcp

I found the H&N Barracuda Hunter HP is a very accurate pellet in both of my .22 caliber rifles, one springer and the other a PCP Brocock.
The .25 cal Hunters also shoot well in those rifles. They Hades also shoot well in my rifles.
.22 cal. Barracuda Hunter HP's weigh 18.21gr., while the Hades weigh 15.89gr.
In .25cal. the Barracuda Hunter HP's weigh 27.47gr. and the Hades weigh 26.54gr.
