Another good one. The only thing I'd say is plain card/paper is better for seeing groups. The splatter targets obscure the hits. In my humble opinion of course.
Great vid. Comparing my HW100KT and unregulated S510 Carbine, both are capable of equal accuracy if tuned properly. Mine both achieve a standard deviation of about 2fps with QYS or Bisley pellets. I really love the extra adjustment the regulator gives me, but if you don't understand how to tune then properly you can put some proper dips and spikes in the power "curve".
Something to consider if you use a handpump rather than the scuba's super-dry air. A section 5 and air gun specialist gunsmith told me he spent most of his remedial air rifle time on fixing duff regulators. Regs are more susceptible to moisture than any other part of a PCP it seems and soon get badly corroded especially the bell washer type. Not the same worries with an unregulated gun although the manometer is possibly more prone to corrosion than other components.
This is 100% correct, my hft500 I filled to 200bar, by mistake, at 30 yards it was shooting half mil dot low, I dry fired it down to 180 bar, spot on, brilliant gun, I shot 57 ex 60 at Cambridge hft shoot. just wish AirArms would make it in .22
A very interesting video and I was impressed by the performance of the HW100. I do think that all pellets needed to be weighed because otherwise you add a random, unaccounted (as in not corrected) variable into the experiment. I would also look a little but more at the production detail of the video ... one or two errors in there. But it is a fascinating area and this is the first video I have seen that has tackled this subject, so thank you for all that effort. As I said, very interesting.
Cheers Gary and albeit my PCPks are regulated, I’d have no issue going forward buying unregulated. Question: I noted that your chrono (same type as mine) was not close to the rifle muzzle. Is there a right distance or is it chrono dependent? I ask as I guess that the further it is from the muzzle then the velocity of the pellet is on the decrease. If you can answer this I’d appreciate it. Cheers again for all you do. Kris
'settling the reg'... hmm, with my TX200 (hunting) I sometimes forget to warm the spring up (2-3 shots)... and then am not surprised if I miss my first bunnie....
Hi Gary great video, however I’d be interested to hear your thoughts. I have an Ultimate Sporter R I haven’t ever tested this theory however I feel I that it is less affected by temperature shift than my non regulated guns, what’s your thoughts?
Hi Gary Was thinking of buying air arms HFT 500, for target shooting. Would this be an upgrade on my BSA 10? Which does shoot fairly good. I have seem a lot of guys shooting HFT 500 and s400 MPR FT and other more expensive ones, at my local club. Is it worth investing in one? Great video and very informative, by the way. 👍 Wayne
Great video. Why don't you wear glasses when you shoot? I use multifocals and it hasn't given me a problem. and i can use the left eye to see the wind etc. Thank you very much, regards

Great video 👍
There’s a good reason why I’ll never sell my HW100. 😉
And yes, Gary. A full review of the AR20 would be great 👍
Thank you Gary for taking the time to produce this test, it was so interesting. Quite an eye opener 👍
I met Gary today. What a nice guy! A pleasure to talk to.
Excellent video Gary. I'm sticking with my HW100. 😎
Totally, totally floored analysis.
This was some interesting information. Excellent video Gary.
Excellent and very informative Gary, thank you.

Good stuff Gary ... enjoyed that ..
My s200 in .177 went from 40 good shots to 85 good shots with a external regulator from lanes, 😁👍

Both my rifles are regulated, with my left arm. Nice shooting, Gary. 😊
thank you for the excellent video Gary

Very interesting and l’ve certainly learnt something 👍

Great comparison. Would be great to see a review of the Hammerli
Hey! Thanks for this great video! Which scope are you using?
My main comp scope is a Vortex Viper gen2
I also use Optisan CP 10x32 and evx
great vid were you get the fly killer from.

Hi, the R10 is a lovely rifle, but the HFT500 is a bespoke target rifle. You won't regret it
@@garychillingworth thank you for the reply. Will be getting one very soon. 👍
i would definitely agree if you know your rifle you know your curve 👍 definitely would like a better look at that ar 👌

Two and a half minutes in and I’m thinking… they’ve done studies you know. 60% of the time it works every time.
