Owners of 20 cal pcp’s - info please

[PCPShooter]

I have thought about a 20 cal pcp for a long time, being a devotee of 20 cal in springers
Can 20 cal pcp owners tell me if you can get FTT to go over 11 ftlbs while keeping within limit with the heavier 13 + JSB and Barracuda pellets -

For me it would be essential to get the FTT into low 11s to make it a worthwhile venture

Please note: I really am not asking for a calibre debate or comments from anyone other than current or previous 20 cal pcp owners.

HI the answer to your question is yes you could set your power at 11.5 ftlb with the FTT and you wont go over 12ftlb with the heavier pellets
you realy should by a chrono or download chairgun,

Hi
What 20 cal rifle are you using ?

I’m thinking of buying a regg’d anti tamper rifle and there lies the tricky part with set up - potentially-

[lonewolf]

well if you are buying a new PCP with anti tamper the chances are that it will be set below 11 ftlb so you remove the anti tamper and adjust to the
required power

what PCP are thinking of buying

It might be an anomaly but my .20 MFR kicks out FTT at higher MV than JSB's, it also chucks the JSB's around the target at random, seriously does not like them at all.

Never tried the Barracuda.

I'm told a heavier pellet fired through a longer barrel will give you more FPS. The same heavier pellet with a shorter barrel will be much slower.

I can't give any actual figures for comparison as I've recently discarded them but I queried this with theoben as i expected a heavey pellet i was trying out to be slower not faster.
The rifle i was using at the time was a Theoben TTR in 20 cal and its long barrel gave the higher FPS ( can't remember the barrel length I'm afraid).
And H&N FTT performed brilliantly. Incidentally so did Bisley Superfield but i hear these are no longer available.

Yes, I agree from past rifles including FAC with the above in principle
I’m simply trying to ascertain if I’m likely to be able to get a uk power 20 cal pcp which will knock out FTT (or another badge H&N sub 12 grain pellet) without rifle going OTT with heavies or the irksomely efficient but ‘too’ heavy jsbs -

My Daystate Huntsman Classic in .20 cal works best with H& N FTT pellets fpe is currently
11.4, with my NV its a very good rabbit killer out to 40--50 yds,
i also use a .20 HW95 for a few rats out under my bird table.

Have you checked the muzzle energy of your Daystate using heavier pellets. What was the result?
