thanks secret stallion. I am using precise 3rd gen .75, have been thinking of going to .65 on your findings. less band weight more speed maybe, for 8mm steel and 6mm . the .75 is very snappy, I found and if you don't cut it right it doesn't perform as it can. what do you recommend secret stallion regards robbo

thanks secret stallion I have been going through your results a lot. precise mainly , it appears the .40 works better for what I want than the .45 . with more of a harder draw then the 45. as the .65 has more draw weight than the 75, for what I want. 40 for 6mm 65 for 8mm your test results are fantastic mate

Hey robbo,

I presume you are referencing speed / FPS.

The only way that I can help you is through my results.

Simply choose the straight or tapered band cut, and then compare the 6mm FTS for 0.45 and 0.40.

For example, if you wanted to compare 3/4 - 3/8, then 0.45 shows 280 FTS, whereas 0.40 shows 270 FTS.

So in this case ONLY, 0.45 has the edge for FPS.

You can simply compare any results you want side by side, for the band cut and ammo size that you are interested in.
