I wasn't expecting any thing near 1200 m/I know how the MFGRs rate 'em. but I was looking more for 850 . I'm still getting 850 with the same pettles out of an 1985 Beeman R1 . Was I expecting too much from this Crossman? ~~BS~~I wish I could give you some useful information on that but I haven't been able to chrony mine yet so I don't know what it is doing. I think my gun is probably hitting a little harder than that just from observing how hard it is hitting the target. You might want to shoot some different pellets across the chrony to see what it does. Please report back if you do. ~~~~ Tried some a little heavier and was almost at 600FPS ,if I go any lighter than the 8.8 gr Crow mags I really start to lose accuracy , so it's like shot 650- 700 and hit something or shoot faster and Pray you do ~~ kinda a no win either way ,Hate to even call Crosman, the last call no one could answer my question they were going to call me back, NEVER happened. Thats a BS line to get y a off the ph. second time in the last yr I was promised a return call to a question CS had no clue. I'd say probably bought my last Crossman ,CS counts a lot. ~~BS50
