Panthera Diaries EP3

Watch me struggle with a High Power, large caliber FX Panthera airgun that have very different characteristics compared to anything i shot earlier, shooting slugs and pellets with a slugliner with a hidden flaw, it turned out to be...

Hi,
I also had a lot of problems with my .30 Panthera. Maybe a few things that worked for me can help you.
First, I swapped almost all of the orings for new ones.
Then I swapped the heavy slug liner for a superior pellet liner. You should also increase the regulator pressure, I destroyed 2 valves with too low pressure. I also swapped the two screws that hold the small block under the plenum. They are too long and the valve can hit the screws if the regulator pressure is too low. The valve opens too wide. I also loosened the two screws from the plennum that are supposed to jam the barrel. Now my Panthera shoots extremely accurately.

Great work and research, what is too low pressure? I have it on the 115 bar it came with from factory, tried to raise it but did not much so i went back to the factory 115 bars. will check those screws on the block. Like to keep the slugliner if possible, a pellet liner would be strange, then i should have bought a M3 instead.My thought was to buy something designed for slugs from factory instead of tuning a M3 for slugs.The 30 cal is just beacuse of the stupid laws for licenses here in my country, a 22 cal would propably have been better and more accurate with slugs.

Good quality content, hope you get the Pantera sorted out.
Or was it all down to the valve-pin as you hinted at?

Thanks!, have not yet have time to follow up, I will do a episode on a more concrete follow up with the new valvepin and maybe try to tinker a little with reg and speed using the HN HP2 50 grain slugs. I think the valvepin did a lot of truble, listening to when the slugs and pellets hi the wood i even can hear the speed difference, did some chrono work after the video and had speed differences up to 60 fps and also leaks up to 40 bar in 24 hrs, the thing got sent away and i have it back with a new valvepin.
I willdo a new episode on that when i feel i can handle and shoot this thing properly- ill be back 🙂
