    personally I find 17-18 FP the sweet spot for these... accurate and easy to shoot. Much more and accuracy (or maybe the ability to achieve it) seems to suffer.
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    Hi JB..I'd go 19 ft lbs as the sweet spot. Anything more is a little too much. Slight off thread but on FAC power levels I remember shooting a Webley Venom 97 running at 16.8 ft lbs it was unreal..a mild nudge in the shoulder like a legal limit rifle..it was .22 but really nice at that power level.

    I'd invite you over to play with some of my "fac" springers, but the plane ticket will make it a little pricey - I've not shot them myself for a couple of years !
