    That all depends on what pcp you have. Ive got an early Daystate FTR that only fills to 160 BAR.

    I know when my rifle 'drops off', 110 bar on one.
    My regulated rifle it's 90 bar.

    Put 10 pellets in your pocket. Check your zero with two, use 6 for hunting, leaves two for finishing off.
    Repariere nicht, was nicht kaputtist.

    Most unregged rifles will shoot well to around 120 bar, so using a typical method of calculation, most cylinder guns will drop about 1 bar per pellet roughly, so I'd say you have around 30 shots in your gun give or take, but the best way to know in future is to do a full cylinder from 200bar, preferably over a chrono, and se what your shot count is and what your power curve looks like

    If reg is set up right it'll be consistent down to about 80 Bar in. 22, if sub 12.
