Did you want to use it for CO2 or HPA. If HPA 2200 psi just wont cut it.

Go to a scuba/dive shop. They can fill it to 3000 psi.

if you have a tank with 2200 psi it can only put that much into another bottle. it doesnt matter if its bigger. you could fill your bottle to 2200 but that would mean your only half filling it.

because big co2 tanks are *traded* you dont take them to a place and say here fill this,, you trade an empty for a full for about 27 dollars,, plus scuba tanks are originally for diving ,,, i dont think anyone breathes co2!!

have you done any research to find a place near you that could properly fill it. i would have looked into that before investing the money into something you cant fully use.

They will want it hydrotested before they fill it, they charged me $20, which included a gasket, sure beats not having hpa, good price on the tank

c02 and scuba =/= ITs like putting c02 ina an hpa tank. 2200 psi will only fill one, then it starts sropping 100-200 psi perfill, but youll last.
