190 is the max pressure, so do not fill above this level. The 170 is the "sweet spot" where the rifle provides its full potential power. I don't have a S200 but my friend fills his to 170.
As a daft question, because I'm hearing different opinions.....
What would you folks recommend as the fill pressure on the AA S200 .177 ?
My friend says he fills his to 170bar, others say 190bar!
Any help would be appreciated.
I use Bisley Magnums if it makes any difference
Thx

AA 410k, 3-9X50
FN19 Hawke, 6-18x44
AA S200, 6-24X50
S10, 8-32X50
Pellets make no difference to the fill pressure so rest easy!
P.c.p.s have a power curve if unregulated, such as the S200. If you fill to the max 190bar it will produce lower powered shots until it reaches the "sweet spot" where it levels off. This sweet spot is approx 170bar. You will get less shots by filling to 170bar but they will be full powered and usable from the start. Worth doing.

i think 190bar is the max capacity, but ive heard it has less variation in shot performance at 170bar. think thats how it goes anyway!!
