Sorry my chronograph is not working
Nitro piston is more accurate & consistent at 25 Yards compare to IHP & Springer Pegasus but if somehow I can manage to lighten the trigger pull just like my IHP than I can shoot ½ “ group at 25-30 Yards
One more thing I like to share my NP Pegasus don’t like light weight pellets
As I again tested my NP Pegasus with Master Shot & RWS 7 grain but both pellets group more than 1.5” at 25 yards but G. Smiths High Impact 9.64 grain groups less than 1 “

Thanks for the reply.
And sorry for asking too much of work from you.
Please post a shot groupings from your NP pegasus
and if possible use audacity method to measure the fps just to get a rough idea of velocity :)
Even i will do the calculations just send me the sound record or video clip of the shot strings :)
i will Pm my mail id

hey guys how are you able to fit nitro piston in your orion or pegasus? i mean how do you obtained the piston from precihole. I wanted to convert my orion to nitro piston and so contacted the precihole and they refused to sell me only the piston, saying i will to buy a the whole rifle.

As all of you are very interested to know the velocity of NP air rifle so finally I repaired my chronograph & calculated the velocity of NP Pegasus after firing around 600-700 shot
I used EP Pin as a pellet pusher for all pellets except Air arms
Average velocity of 5 pellets
Air Arms 8.4 grain 798 fps
PH 8.2 grain 802fps
Master Shot flat head 7.48 grain 840 fps
Gsmith high impact 9.6 grain 675 fps

Hi Pratik,
> It's now evident from your test results that "Gas Ram" fitted Pegasus gives consistent 'high velocity' + accuracy...
> Also that velocity increases with the use of lighter pellets...
> However if one were to choose & rely on one pellet for optimum velocity + fpe it would be the "PH 8.2gr @ 802fps, because it's the 'ideal' 12fpe air rifle - Eg: 802 x 802 x 8.2 % 450250 = 12fpe :D :D :D

Has anyone experimented similarly with the .22 caliber Nitro piston precihole air rifle ? Please share if possible.
