PCP gases
« on: October 16, 2009, 09:48:43 AM »
Hi..As some of yous know I fill my PCPs with
Argon gas.....I also have access to
Argonsheild 51..Which is a blend of Argon & Co2
51% argon....Now if you were to fill yer PCP with
 it could/would you get the benifit of the compressed gas
& the exspantion of the Co2.....
Good idea ?
Or just asking for trouble ?

Argon is more than twice as heavy.

Helium is faster since it is lighter than air.
Nitrogen weighs about the same as air, because air is mostly nitrogen.

Possibly chemical reactions to o-rings.

I usually have to replace o-rings about once a year.

Extreme weather plus large temperature fluctuations around SC or Tx, where I shoot and hunt most often, must be tough on them.
