falcon pf25 low power issues

bigdave735 · 29th Jun 2008, 16:42

hey there

i have a falcon pf25? and have got a real issue with the power from this gun.
i did a little chrono test.with a few weights of pellets.results as followed.

bisley long range..max was 11.19 to low was 10.15 grain 14.0
bisley super field..max was 10.59 to low was 9.67 grain 15.1
no name domed ..max was 9.73 to low was 7.95 grain 12.0

so you can see my power is down and i am finding it a little hard to get a clean kill.which i know this falcon is able to do.and before you say send it back to falcon..i already have,and look what they sent me back so any help would be a big help .
thinking of buying a tunning kit which i found from a previous post on a thread on smithys post. but i need to find out more as smithy never replied to my message for help...
so can any one help

From what i hear mate Falcon keep their rifles well low on power just to stay the right side of the law.
They always make sure it's well under the limit with Bisley magnums.
When i bought my AA S410 k it was 10.5 ft lbs without me knowing & i knocked over plenty of quarry with it,only when it went for a service at Hydrographics did i know & they cranked it up a little so i don't think your power is that low,hope that helps.

well mate..you know when your power is down when the bunnys you hit in the head run away as for bisley mags....i aint used them yet as i know there to heavy...i need to tweek too

so can i get it tuned up a little more.a little would make a big differance i feel

i doubt adjusting the power up by so little would make much of a difference mate.

where are you aiming on the rabbits head? as shot placement can have more of an effect. if your using a .177 then you have to be more careful with your shot placement

It is said that an impact of just 4ft/lbs is enough to kill a bunny- Head shot of course- why not take your rifle to a RFD and have it looked at??

Power adjusting is Never discussed on an open forum so that is why there is a lack of replies. Those that have replies are giving you the correct information so I would do as they have said.

RFD means Registered Firearms Dealer, in other words a "Gun shop" and have it serviced better still get it off to a Gun Tuner with a few of the pellets you use and tell him what you want it setup as.

And I think you will find its a .22" and the pellets are 5.5mm.
