    shots per tank?

    I have a 68ci 3000 nitro that i run on my mag. i just was wondering how many shots most normally get from a tank that size because im only gettin like 400-500 i think.

        The 68 Stub (what you said you have in your sig) is a steel tank. It heats up when you get it filled. After the tank cools a little, your psi drops from 3000 to about 2500, this may be why you are getting less shots then you should be with a 68ci tank. Just a thought.

          Plus when you gas your gun the tank drops another 200 psi. Only 700 shots? Jeez that is nothing. My cocker got like 1800 maybe 2000.

            1800-2000?

            you get 1800-2000 out of a 68ci 3k tank?! Are you sure, that doesn't sound right.

              I was running super low pressure and my cocker was configured for maximum efficiency.

                  Not at all. I was shooting my gun at 270 and the consistency was +/- 3 fps.

                    with my 68ci 3k tank I get about 700 shots. velocity is about 280fps and I have a 12 inch J&J 2-piece. Pretty efficient....

                        I want to revisit this topic...

                        Is there any way I can improve my mag's shots per tank? Having to fill my nitro a few times a day is quite annoying. I'm looking for more than the 600 shots I am getting. 600 shots equals 3 games.
