Ghost Thinking of going .177 for slugs

[Solo1]

I need to switch to the blue spring, The 13’s and 16’s are going too fast. Even at 100 bar the 13’s were above 1000 on min, pw didn’t do anything. The 20’s do ok but I’ll get random fliers, the 16’s don’t shoot very well but I could only get them down to 980, not sure what speed they should be at?

Kinda disappointed about the 20 & 16’s, but the 13’s even going too fast were grouping more consistent.

I only had good results with the 13. Others have said 16 and 20 worked but not in my barrel

Tried the Blue spring and it was fail, I could only get the 13’s to 900 fps at 100 bar, went to 115 and fps went down. It cocked so easy with that spring. Put the Red back in, still no adjust on the pw for the 13’s but kept them at 1000 fps, they did just ok.

I moved the reg up to 120 bar and shot the 20’s at 880-900 and they grouped larger than I care for. Reset reg and at 115 bar and PW 14 shot the 16’s at 985 fps, they grouped better than anything else today. Low ES/SD also.

This .177 slug stuff is more of pain than I thought. These low reg pressures don’t give much pw adjustment. Not sure why my Ghost shoots so fast compared to others. Pin probe and 28” barrel is too much apparently, I wish they used 1:16 for this barrel.

How the hell do you get a patch worm past the air stripped on a .177??? I have a straw that will touch the part that screws onto the barrel but it is getting caught inside the barrel where air stripper meets. I would need a really small straw to go into the actual barrel I think. Thanks for reading my ramblings

Most people struggle to get speed. You got it TOYOTA

Try some of those small coffee stiring staws

I have always taken the barrels completely out of my Ghosts to clean them and use a cleaning rod.

I talked to Soren and he said the 16’s should shoot good around 950-970, so I’ll drop the reg one more time or see if the pw could trim off 20 fps.

The lower you go on the regulator, the less effect with the power wheel

Thats why I don’t really want to go lower than 115, I have now. It’s been a interesting few days playing with the ghost.
