Others Bottled Zelos Range Morning

[Hylander]

Hit the range this morning to try out the new 500cc bottle that Mrs. Santa and my daughter gave me for Christmas.
It's nice to have a short range session, not having to worry if I'm about to fall of the reg.
Also figuring out which hash mark from 25 to 50yd drop.
Also, I keep wondering how much money I would have to spend to get a different rifle as accurate as this one. This rifle is all stock with no tuning.

Nice! Great setup. Considering that some users state it shoots slugs well and others convert it from the cylinder, it’s a wonder why Umarex does not offer a bottle version.

You can buy the Snowpeak with bottle. It is the same gun. I think they shoot slugs well.

Cool. Thank you. Nice shooting.

You definitely have a winner there with pellets or slugs, and now more shots per fill! How many shots on the new tank vs the tube you had?

Not sure on shot count yet.
My tube got 32-34 shots on reg at 2000 psi.
I only fired about 32 shots.
Started at 240 bar and ran down to 200 bar.
I'll try to fire enough shots next time out to run it down off the reg.

When I converted mine to a 500cc bottle it went from around 30 shots on reg to 63 with the reg at 2000 psi, when I cranked the reg up to 2400 psi it dropped to about 40. Course now it's driving fx hybrids at 965 fps and 45.89 ft lbs. And I still have a high flow valve to install and boring out the transfer port. Can't wait to see what it does after that.
