As stated in the manual:
"The recommended maximum charging pressure for your Falcon pre-chargrd air rifle or pistol is 2700psi(185 Bar). THis will give the optimum number of shots for sporting purposes."
"For specialist target purposes, a pressure of around 2500psi (171 Bar) is suggested but some experimentation with initial charge pressures is encouraged"
From this I would say that the rifle may be more 'accurate' for pressures of about 170Bar. I usually fill to 180Bar
more consistent shot to shot [flatter power curve] but less usable shotsOriginally posted by wildfire

I had an FN12 in .177 for two years and sold it to get my AA S400. By experimentation, I evolved the following filling routine and it seemed to work very well. Fill to 175 bar and dry-fire four or five shots. Then look forward to thirty spot-on shots, with the next ten dropping progressively. The dry-firing came about as the first couple of shots were always inconsistent after each fill, but I don't know why.
By that token, your FN19 would probably manage 40 shots spot-on, with another 15 useables, as your reservoir is larger. My FN was most accurate with Bisley Magnums, but AA Fields weren't available then. I hope this helps.

Wouldn't it have been easier just to fill to 170bar
