Woodworm1972 24 Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Bought a brand new 7ltr air bottle 300 bar, had it filled to 307 while I waited, when at home I filled my s300 to 185 ( a good working pressure), all was fine until I tried a second fill, and found the bottle would only charge the gun to 150! Everything but the gun is brand new!! In the past a friend would allow me to fill up with no problem, but with my new kit theres issues. Any ideas guys? Chris Quote Link to post

Is that the only possibility bud? Cheers Quote Link to post
Woodworm1972 24 Posted April 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Tried filling the gun last night after a bit of shooting, the gauge almost instantly pressurised to over 200! There's nothing like consistency :-( Quote Link to post
AR177 588 Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Quite strange where do you keep your air bottle? do you keep it outside or indside? If the bottle is hot / cold it can affect the fill pressure but im not sure if it would give that much deviation Are you reading the pressure from a gauge on the cylinder or one on the rifle?

ATB Adam There's currently no gauge on the S300 bud. The bottle is now stored outside in a shed, prior to that the bottle was indoors, so will be at room temperature. I'm definetley reading gauge correctly and following to guidelines for filling to the letter. I'm going to be charging the gun again tomorrow. ( club shoot) so lets see what happens then.
