I'm curious if anyone here has had their 350 tuned yet? Was their an increase or decrease in fpe or fps? Who did the tune for you? Thanks for the info!
You'll most likely see a decrease in velocity, but it will shoot smoother and more accuratly. I wouldn't expect a velocity tune on an already powerful magnum springer. I did hear of one person who took his 350 down to 12 ft lbs and as a result, has a wonderfully smooth shooting, accurate gun. Different spring of course. I'd personally like to see one in the 18 ft lb range. I think that would be the perfect balance of power and accuracy. You could probably go 20 with a new spring, top hat and lube. Then you'd have something.
"but I'll be needin' that gun, fer squirrels and such."
thanks for the info bill. 18-20 fpe sounds fine to me. The power right now is fine and I wouldn't mind trading some fpe for a really smooth shooting gun. Have you had any of your guns tuned? who would you recommend? Paul Watts seems to have a good rep. What about the guy that calls himself Charlie da tuna?
You only had a 12" barrel on your 350 .22? 21FPE is still great with that short a barrel but how was the accuracy? Didn't it hurt the accuracy? I guess if Paul Watts also made your 350 smoother, it could maintain its accuracy? Normally lengthening the barrel gives you a little more ME (FPE) and better accuracy but you did the opposite. What was the reason behind that? A lighter, better balanced gun?
barrel too. Man I should have kept that sweet potent break-barrel
carbine!
I could shoot .75" to 1.0" groups from a seated/rested position
in good conditions weather/wind wise. Produced a few that'd fit
easily under a dime. Had a Bushy 4-16x40 Elite 4200 on her.
