power adjuster

[mcc1961]

I just ordered a power adjuster for my 2300T and it is supposed to slow the pellet down to the most of around 100fps.I already get between 65 and 75 shots per powerlet.How many extra shots do u think I will get at the 100fps mark?

I'm not even sure 100 fps will punch paper at 10 meters.  That is pretty slow and there definitely won't be any down range muzzle energy.  All that would do is put a dent in a piece of tagboard.

Using a 7.0 grain wadcutter and 100 fps I got the following data.

Weight   FPS   FPE
7.00   100.00   0.16

I might have said it wrong but what I meant is it will go from 520fps to 420fps.

Well at least that makes a lot more sense.

How many more shots do u think I will get from 1 powerlet.

Truthfully, I don't think you will get more than 10 to 15 extra shots but I hope I'm wrong.

I think that many shots saves u in the long run.

Maybe a stupid question, but is the power adjuster not meant to increase power (and lessen the number of shots per cartridge)? How can less power be achieved with it?

As the name implies a power adjuster can be used to both increase or decrease the power.  It really depends on the spring you use when you install the power adjuster and how you initially set up the power adjuster.  You can use a shorter spring and then tighten the adjuster till it equals the old spring, or really force on the hammer if you will.  Then you can back off the adjuster so that there is less force on the hammer.
