I recon about 70ish at 56ftlb but the new ones are better and turn out more 

By new, do you mean with the power plenum already installed?

Yeah.. the old ones work fine but the power plenum lets you run more shots per fill

Yep , more shots at a lower reg pressure 

my .25 impact is running at 72 ftlbs on 125 bar reg pressure with the power plenum fitted . Anyone who has a FAC older impact then these power plenum are worth fitting

What do you think would probably be a good reg pressure for a .22 impact with 700mm barrel vm?  Mine is at 95 bar at the moment and I haven’t tried it at any other pressure other than 65 bar that it was set at (32ft lb)out of the box. It’s got a power plenum and it was running at around 43 ft lb on maximum at 95 bar reg pressure with 21 grain slugs. I’ve turned the hammer spring tension down a bit and it’s at 40ft lb now on max. Would going up to 125 bar be an advantage in .22 or do you think it would be too much ?  Sorry about all the questions vm,  but I know you have the .22 crown as well and a lot of experience with these fac fx’s .

You want to  be shooting H&N slugs around 920-970 FPS . I shoot them through the crown at 925-930 about 40 ftlbs . Best thing is to try it at 120 and see what the shot count is like and accuracy

na.. dont think I need to Phil , I set impact up yesterday to shoot the hades, turned power down got it running well at 880fps and recon I got 80'ish shots off last night before I needed to top up!

although the fx slugs were w@nk in mine I had it launching them at 1050fps without the power plenum. 

save your pennies Phil

Phil my mate fitted one to his ( my old one ) and 600 mm barrel running at  62 ftlbs on 130 reg   , now he has tuned it to  900 FPS with JSB mk2 33.9 gr , absolutely brilliant, yes worth £113 All day long

Nice going dev, there a good bit of kit!

once you get use to it you’ll be stretching it way further

Yarp, a few years ago I’d never have thought I’d shoot a rabbit beyond a 100 yards with an air rifle. This one was 112, popped its eyes out. The two before this, I over compensated and missed over the top.
