FX Impact Power Plenum Tune | Sight In for Long Range

[@4450OhDeere]

Good video ! Another way to check if the gun is armed is to check the play on the hammer spring. If it’s stuck it’s armed

[@68Whiskey]

Ahhhhh good call. Thanks for posting that!

[@tomiliff7591]

Awesome 👍 in line to get the power plenum on my impact can't wait to see you guys in Missouri to tune it for me

[@68Whiskey]

Haha. Simple as that!

[@Oregon-airguns]

I’ve learned that setting a golf ball up on a dirt bank is perfect for dialing Adjustable mounts in, get quick dirt signatures. Once I hit golf ball I lock in scope and dial the rest of the way in using paper and turrets. Great video guys!

[@68Whiskey]

Perfect way to do it!

[@TheOregonOutlaw]

One of the BEST FX vids I've seen to date...and I've watched TOO MANY in an attempt to learn more of the capabilities and "tuning". PLEASE keep it up!

@@68Whiskey One thing needed - WHERE can we purchase the plenums? UA told me they alone can change the units!!! That's a load...and not at all appreciated after dropping thousands for a couple Impacts! Also - do yourself a favor and get on the affiliate program with Amazon and those firms you work with! Momma ALWAYS appreciates those vacations to nice places ..... even if the hunting sucks there@ LOL

[@68Whiskey]

Hahah. Not too too worried about affiliates as of yet. We really love the guys at Utah so we support them and they do us favors as well. Im not sure about your plenum question but i will ask and if i find out something different i will let you know!

Wow! Whiskey 68 once again takes us all to school, real school! I learned a lot about what I do- and don't need to worry about. Simple yet technical and totally useful. Thanks once again fellas! Oh and BTW, loved the ice Breaker Snickers yearning statement! I don't yet own an Impact but might buy a speed loader or two just to support the BOYZ's endeavor. Cool idea and totally practical. Blessed to have you fellas around for sure.

[@normanshanley7417]

thanks so much bret we appreciate you brother

[@bretlawson924]

@@68Whiskey Yeah, well they had it coming. I know you probably don't like to commit but I am going to buy an impact and am debating THE caliber. Currently I have two favorites of my 3. I am awed by my .25 Armada and have gotten fairly in tune with its trajectory, etc. I pretty much hit what I shoot at. The other is my 357 Pitbull which is a far piece faster than a stock bulldog. I adore that thing but am very limited where and when I can shoot it. She is back yard friendly to a point but no such ideas of taking a whack at a pigeon on a wire nearby. I have a 22 prod that is tricked out moderately that honestly I am "Meh" about (too light). Long and short is I am waffling between a .25 and a .30 for the Impact. What kind of range are you doing with the .25 vs .30? Plus 200 yds I know full well that the 22 is going to shine based on BC and speed potential so I am not ruling that out. For perspective, I have been after some crows that love to set out there at about 200+ and laugh at me.....(until I find the rookery that is). I would really appreciate some advice.

[@barrylouis8581]

By the .25 and order a .30 slug liner as well,1 gun 2 options.

[@quacksjuicefactory297]

[@normanshanley7417]

thanks brother. im glad you like them

[@AirgunEvolution]

Thanks man, Glad you like them.

[@JoePatABC]

The only issue I see here is a lack of certainty about the consistency of the tune. You can't shoot 10 shots at any given setting and know that the gun is in harmony, it takes many many shots. I generally shoot at least 40 shots when I believe I'm close. The object is get that SD (standard deviation) down as low you can. Generally anything below 4 is okay but you really want to be in the 2s. In the hands of the same shooter, regardless of the conditions, a gun tuned to shoot an SD of 2.? at 870 fps is going to out perform a gun shooting an SD 5.? at 970 fps every time. If you can get that gun to shoot 960 with a decent Ex spread (under 15) and an SD of under 3 you're KILLIN IT... It's not easy to do, but it is doable and once you find that combo of ultimate speed and reliable predictability, you'll never want to shoot a gun any other way. Thanks for the video, I learned something valuable about the scope mount adjustment process and that doesn't happen often. Cheers Joe P.

[@68Whiskey]

Thanks Joe, You are right about the amount of shots of course. I mentioned it in the video (let it settle in) but the dang video was already a half hour long. The next day david actually played a little more with the valve adjustment with really long shot strings. It is shooting like you describe. As good as it gets. Its hard to fit a perfect tune into a YT video even when you trim out the down time. Glad the scope thing was some new info. Thanks for watching!

[@claytonteufel649]

Great video as always guys good job way to look out for another airgunner.

[@68Whiskey]

Thanks Clayton! We like to help our bretheren out!

[@slowpokeairgunner4027]

Great video guys! I'm confused, after tweaking and tuning you said, "So, now we're done with harmonic tuning..." I thought harmonic tuning was about tuning the harmonics of the barrel and using stuff like rubber pieces along the barrel to change the harmonic frequency until it's sending harmonic frequencies through it that gives the best accuracy. I've heard that a few times lately and I've missed something somewhere, probably because I don't have an Impact, but I thought it was all about the harmonics in the barrel, I've always seen FT/HFT/Olympic shooters work on harmonics that way, all the other stuff I'm sure will make a difference in harmonics, I just thought that was about the vibrations running through the barrel.

[@68Whiskey]

Hey buddy. So yeah. You got me here I used the term incorrectly actually, kinda. What you said is spot on. I said harmonic thinking the gun was “in harmony” bc it was producing solid consistent fps. But thats not how the term is used. What you said about the barrel is on the money. I start with getting the gun happy. Then test for groups. I know some do otherwise but i like the results we get this way. Sorry for the confusion you are right!

[@slowpokeairgunner4027]

@@68Whiskey Ok, no problem, don't let it happen again, hahaha! No big deal I just wanted to know if I missed something or something I didn't know about that maybe I should. I had someone else with an impact say the same thing to me the other day and I brought this up and, well, I haven't heard back from them so I thought something was going on I may need to learn. Thanks.

[@pestsandclays]

@@68Whiskey I think the term was used correctly as all you were doing is altering powder load in a firearm to make the barrel harmonics work.

[@michaelquatrano6189]

I really am learning as I go thanks to folks like you putting out videos. Only thing better would be a comrad nearby... An impact for me is somewhere in the not so near future. I'll have to stick with the dreamline classic for now. Similar principles apply though. I have a good memory for information like this. Here's to your snickers...

[@68Whiskey]

Hahah. Thanks michael. And you are right. Same tuning principles apply. Just have to do it out of the stock with the classic but same thing!

[@derrickmitchell39dm]

Man, the end result of that tune and zero was amazing. 👏

[@Rodan1975]

So I just started watching your vids. And I love them! This video helped me so much! Now, as a PAST Impact hater (mainly because I was scared of all the micro tuning) I was hesitant. But I've been following Steve for a long time, so between him and the fact that I was a 91P (68P), I had to show y'all some love. Man you guys are great. With the tutelage of your video I just achieved 950fps with 22gr VKs. Thanks guys, I'm a new super fan now!

Hi whiskey when you gonna put a video of you tuning .30 on those power plenum?

[@68Whiskey]

Hey Mao, i would but to be honest we didnt tune those. Utah Airguns tuned them before they sent them out of their custom shop and they are mint as is. If we end up changing projectiles and need to tune we will do a vid but min me shoots both pellets and slugs really well right now. I wanted a little more power for slugs so i turned my gun up to 135 bar, but didnt have to touch anything else. Norms is completely untouched as he only shoots pellets from his

[@bullbars1822]

Dedicated shooters! Not your first rodeo. 🐱‍👤 What distance was the last group shot at? You said 580 cc bottle. Will the 480 cc bottle fit? Do you know what shot count is lost and/or what is the weight difference between the two bottles?

[@68Whiskey]

That group was at 35 yards off of a table. Yes that bottle was large. I think the normal size would give about 55 shots? Irs a guess but an educated one Indont know ehat the weight difference is. I can say indidnt notice the difference between our standard guns and this one. Carbon fiber is really light. Its an upgrade worth making.

[@dan243811]

What distance was the test target please? Sorry if that's been answered before. Fitted power plenum to my MK2 600mm .25 yesterday and looking forwards to tuning it once I remember who I lent my chrono to. Thank you for the video.

[@ryankienbaum8894]

You guys are awsome but I notice you lost consistency on your fps the more you messed with his gun? Is this normal? I'm on the fence as far as pulling the trigger on a M3. I just was about to order one on Krale shop and saw they don't ship to North America 😒 😑 😐

[@lijianli]

Waiting on my .25 600mm barrel to come in and follow your tuning guide. Mine also has the power plenum but in .22 caliber. The reason for the 600mm was for ease of shooting without being too long but convince me soon and I might just change over to the 700mm barrel from Utah airguns. Just put the order in..could change it with Mike from Utah airguns before the order ships. Very good and informative video for sure. By the way, love your field pro loader...makes loading pellets easy and fun especially for my 5 year old son.

[@68Whiskey]

Awesome man!!!! In 22 you dont really need the 700mm unless ls you are going to be pushing slugs hard. But regardless if you didnt use it, call mike back and tell him you want to use promo code “whiskeyua”. That will get you free scope stickers with your gun!

[@phildunaway8568]

Do you have a video for tuning a .30 fx impact? I think I can follow the basics with what you have here, but I was wondering where the FPS should be for JSB or FX pellets around the 44 grain ones. I haven't been able to get any slug liners yet, but as my gun sits now it is from the factory setup from Utah Airguns. Reg is at 100, nothing else has been touched. mine is a 600 mm barrel I appreciate all you do for the airgun world. In this video you were shooting a .25 I believe. I'm looking for a little more "huummff" for hunting. I think according to the ticket that come with the gun it's around 860 now.

Good morning . I would need help to calibrate my fx m3 air rifles in cal. 30 I am using these sinkers (H&N GRIZZLY PIOMBINI CAL, 9 MM - WEIGHT; 8.2 GRAMS - 85 PCS). I looked for the network and since this is a new model and caliber there are still no parameters that must be used for the best performance weight, power and calibration of the air settings of the rifle. I saw that in the cal. 25 the speed was calibrated about 960! Does my ball also have to be put at that speed? Is that the speed at which you get the best performance?

You should be the person who would know this if anyone does. Joe brancato at Airgun scientist told me that you shoot FX 30 cal Impact almost exclusively.

The question I have is will this 30 cal be as accurate and also be able to penetrate 3/4 inches of wood at 300 to 400 yards like the 22 cal or is the 30 cal slug going to be too heavy and lose energy at that distance?

I was just wondering what they’ll do. No tuning just they way it comes set from the factory. All I’ve done to my gun is threw an element scope. And Donny fl shogun silencer. Running 18.5 grain fx pellets. Any suggestions on tunes for that round? And I won’t be shooting much further than 50-75 yards max until I get more scope time. And thanks for the awesome videos you put out. Really helpful and just bad ass shooting you throw down.

[@bigfranksworld]

Good info. Looking forward to getting my .25 M3 this week. Got the 60mm barrel, so I imagine the tuning will be the same. Just reg pressures and others will be a bit different. This info should get me going. I imagine from here, I would work on fine tuning for slugs? Oh, one other question. What was your front reg set at? Thanks a million!

[@68Whiskey]

I don’t remember as this is an older video but now we are usually 200 front reg and final reg 150-160

[@szakul2349]

Awsome video as always !!! I have problem with a choosing between MK3 or MK2. Is the MK3 worth spend the extra money??

Yes it is. But both rifles are great I just won rmac with an mkII

[@kerrylittle3900]

Never seen this method of zeroing in the scope. Good job. I bought the FX Impact a couple of months ago new with a new Helix Element scope. It was setup where I bought it. But every time I use the gun the sights are way off. Usually shoots high, sometimes low. Side to side is not to bad but still not right. I dial it back in and get a good group but the next time I use it again the scope is way off. Not sure if its the gun or the scope that is the problem. Getting very frustrated with it not being able to come close to a target at even 25 yards. Its a days journey to take it back to where I bought it from. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks.

[@68Whiskey]

If the gun is grouping but its always off, my guess is gun handling, or the scope is mounted incorrectly/ too tight- too loose on the screws. We pick our guns up by the scope. Never grab them by the barrel. And lay them into their cases being sure to put it down flat and not put side to side pressure on the barrel. Treating them like that we never have to rezero. If you are taking that amount of care as you handle the gun, then someone set the gun up / mounted the scope improperly. Both the gun and the scope are solid systems, but if one is done wrong, the whole system is junk. So i suggest gun handling if you arent being as careful as we are, and taking the scope off and remounting with a torque wrench to the listed specs if you are handling the gun well. Hope that helps

[@kerrylittle3900]

@@68Whiskey Thanks so much for the speedy reply and info. The gun comes with its own foam lined case. I pick it out of the case by the handle and air bottle so never touch the scope or the barrel. Might have to try starting from the beginning again.The man who installed and setup the scope has been doing this for years. He sure looks like he knew what he was doing. Even using a level to install the scope. You make it look easy but I have never done this before. Thanks again for your help.

[@68Whiskey]

@@kerrylittle3900 yeah man my pleasure. The only other thing it could be is that the barrel screw or liner screw is over tightened or has become loose. Should be an easy fix. And it’s definitely something too tight or too loose

what is the best speed on m3 700mm cal .22 for 25.39 grs

[@Mike-hb4pc]

First of all I think your videos are some of the best out there! Very informative and interesting. I've got an FX Impact,.25 cal., Power Plenum, and 700mm barrel. I just purchased the FX Superior Slug liner and want to try my luck tuning it. Shooting the new .26G FX Hybrid slugs. I know every gun is different, and no two gauges give the same readings. However, what (ballpark) reg pressure and FPS readings should I be looking for initially? Thanks

[@68Whiskey]

Hey man, understanding the =caveats you have listed, i would start at 130 bar with the hammer near maxed out. and run the reg up until you are about 20 fps over what you want. then back down 20 fps with the valve!

[@Mike-hb4pc]

@@68Whiskey Fantastic! Really appreciate that. I shall give it a go and see what happens..

[@پارساشراهی]

Hello, (mk2 cal 22 )is it wrong for a 30 degree green regulator slug bullet to be 140 degrees? Or should not be higher than 120?

[@68Whiskey]

The regulator! I shoot mine up to 160 without worrying

[@curtisdriver177]

I'm sure you mentioned the distance you zero the gun at, but I missed it. What range would you suggest? 20, 30,50, 100yds or, does it matter since you have so much elevation in your scope with the adjustable rings? Thx

[@68Whiskey]

I always like my zero to be where i can shoot at anything close and hit it, out to a reasonable distance without touching the turrets. So for most of my rifles thats 50 yards. My lower powered guns are at 35 yards.

[@jeffnekuza3679]

I am getting ready to order an MK2 in the next couple of days. I am still researching what scope to use. Any recommendations ? Love the videos and keep them coming !!

[@68Whiskey]

Thanks so much Jeff. Yes i have very strong opinions on scopes lol. Depending on budget, we are in love with our athlon scopes. Very bright glass and repeatable turrets. The other one i would highly recommend is the new element optics scope line. We are testing one right now (the titan) and its incredible . You will have to wait about a month or two for element but im very impressed with the one we have.

[@glennnicdao5203]

What is the required minimum pressure on the reg ? Is it true that if the pressure is below the required setting it will damage the gun?

[@68Whiskey]

Required min pressure for the gun to operate as it should is the reg pressure itself. While i have heard many times that it will damage the gun if shot below that pressure, it really doesnt. We have shot below the reg hundreds of times during a hunt where we just didnt want to go back and reair yet, or didnt pay attention Not once has it ever hurt one of our rifles.

It shouldnt effect that at all. Now you can just dial up more!

Thanks Allan. You can but on a 177 sub the shot count is super high already, so not sure it would be worth doing.

Yeah man they can hook you up no problem. They will tune it for you too if you wish

[@kansasairhunters2057]

Hey I have a maverick 25 that I'm trying to tune for slugs. Can I tune it to that magic harmonic spot without that valve adjuster thing you have on the impact? Just give it a little more reg pressure after I find my speed? To maybe close the valve a little quicker 🤔 I'm not sure but I'll bet you guys know. Thanks Keith and Norm.

[@68Whiskey]

Thats a good question man. For me the magic is almost always 150-55 bar. And the hammer where it needs to be. The magic is whatever shoots. Dont overthink it. If i have a gun that shoots lights out at 910 thats where i shoot it. If its 970 thats where i shoot it. Realistically and extra 50 fps doesnt gain you swuat at long range. So i just let the gun tell me what it wants

Hey Dave, if its a power plenum you can probably be at 120 bar, and get around 910-930. That seems to be the sweet spot

I thought U needed a mk1 impact fac spring if U wanted to go over 120 bar, the power plenum spring isn’t strong enuf That’s what I heard several times , true or false ? Thanks 😊

Hi guys great video as always, I’m expecting my 700mm slug liner to turn up some time next week, and was wondering if it ok to start with you setting on this video. I’m using Neilson hollow point heavy slugs from your side of the pond. Your comments would be very welcome. Thanks baz.

[@68Whiskey]

Barry Louis hey Baz, i wouldnt try to shortcut the tuning method. Always start s bit low of where you expect to be and work your way up. You might find an awesome tune on your particular gun ahead of where we landed!

[@barrylouis8581]

Thanks will do as you say, hoping it’s going to turn up this week, will keep you updated. Thanks again for you help.

[@jasonlee2512]

Question for you, I have a impact mk2, after I installed the dual transfer port, slug power kit and slug liner I notice it is consuming a lot of air. It's taking about 5 bars or air after each shot. I'm only able to get about 20 shots before I have to fill my tank with more air. Is this normal to use that much air with the slug upgrade? Before the upgrade I was able to get about 3 mags worth per fill. With the upgrades My reg is only set at 100 bars shooting nsa 33.5 at 935 fps and only getting 20 shots.

[@68Whiskey]

They definitely consume more air when upgraded but yours seems aggressive for you reg setting. You might try upping the reg a little or lowering the hammer tension so you get a quicker shorter stronger burst of air. Sounds like you have unused air leaving the barrel with a longer valve opening than need be currently. But you won’t get three mags no matter what. I aim for one mag with great power

[@deadahead8701]

Wow great video, I spun my power adj wheel with the gun cocked too don’t feel bad lol

Haha. Happens to the beat of us i spose

[@jedics1]

So is this air rifle approaching your traditional 22LR rifle for range/stopping power for hunting?

[@68Whiskey]

Roughly. But with more consistent ammo. Ive never had a 22 group this well. The ammo fluctuates too much in quality for my taste in 22lr

[@jedics1]

@@68Whiskey After I asked this I went to Google, it said 22LR is 1400 to 1800 fps which is roughly double that of the Impact so not really even close. I used to take out Big Reds (Australias biggest Kangaroos) here is Australia with a basic 22LR holo point but they had to be headshots so Impact likely not going to be a replacement unfortunately.
