Artillery & Wolff springs

Stu · 02-09-2006, 07:14 PM

Ok, so my artillery shooter is almost ready for the range. I've the Wolff Luger calibration pack in one hand, (band aids & iodine in the other), any suggestions as to which spring weight to start with ?

I'll be using the WalMart Winchester 9mm.

I must confess I don't want to change the springs out more than I have too, having read through Ted's excellent tutorial. Images of blood and bent metal flash before my eyes each time I contemplate the task.

My thoughts so far are.. the extra weight spring may be to much, based on the idea that the artillery upper weighs more than the standard so will not travel quite as fast, (although it will still have the same momentum... hum).

The standard is a tempting starting point.

Has anyone been down the same path and could recount their experiences ?

Many thanks, Stu
