Hi People, this may be a silly question but I need to know what pressure to fill my 510 TDR to?
I seem to remember reading somewhere it should be 180bar but the cylinder and hand book both say 250bar.
Can someone advise me please.
Thanks in advance
Rob.

250bar is for the reg'd gun, standard S510 is as usual 190bar, but 165/170bar will be fine. Rog

Sorry I forgot to say it is the regulated 510 TDR I have just got today.

Thanks for the help,
Am I right in thinking that @ 250bar fill my 7 litre 300bar bottle is not going to last long?

You are probably right there, I think you will get about between 80/100 shots
Which if you think about it, compared to an unreg'd isn't all that bad
My S410 TDR .177 gives about 50 in the sweet spot 165-100bar
Horses for courses I suppose. Rog

Thanks again.
I have a Skan Chrono on its way, looks like I have some testing to do once it gets here.

You can, of course, continue with fills to less than 250bar getting progressively fewer shots per fill. Overall you'll get as many shots from the bottle as you would from the unregged version, probably a few more if the reg is set up properly, so it's close to best air efficiency.Rob Laidlaw wrote: ↑Thu Apr 16, 2020 7:55 pmThanks for the help,
