the Chaparral 25
I've been filling the pistol to 3,000
psi. I can then shoot about 40 shots between 16-19 fpe. That's
shooting the #3 buck shot (23.7 grains) in that 550-600 fps range.
You can run it alot hotter if you wish - easily up to 750 fps.
(which is 29.6 fpe). It's easy to find a power range and a level
plateau of shots with the power adjust. If you want to shoot slower
- you can get even more of course. It's very versatile.
The pistol is nice and quiet with the
composite shroud. I love the ball magazine. It holds 15 round
ball. I just index it with the tip of my left index finger. I
roll it counter clockwise 90 degrees, snap it back and then forward
again, then roll it back clockwise to locked position. I never
take my finger off the brass knob. Silky smooth and effortless.
I never take my right hand off the pistol grip either. Snap the
separate cocking stud back when you wish and go. It's a treat
to use and you can get rid of 15 ball pretty quickly.
Accuracy seems very good - even with
the raw bag buck shot. I made some tooling which rounds the ball
out more spherical, and that makes it even more accurate.
