You won't believe this, This rifle is HAUNTED..............I was curious about this retained air on the 15 pumps, so I just reshot it, with these results......... NO Pumping, just retained air from 15 pumps.1 shot=45fps2 shot=127fps3 shot=134fps4 shot=1375 shot=1646 shot=1777 shot=2038 shot=2269 shot=26510 shot=32811 shot=41012 shot=561fps13 shot=652fps14 shot= NO Air leftI'll bet your pumper can't do this.............LOL Tia,Don
GuysI couldn't stand any longer, put on wrist brace and wrap it with a elastic bandage,didn't hurt pumping, so I am back in the hunt.........LOLJust got thru with the 5 pumps thru 10 pumps, to see any retained air,and the results are, for a 185gr Peek hammer, nothing else changed.2nd retained air test5p = 1 shot = 475fps6p = 1 shot = 511fps7p = 1 shot = 541fps8p = 1 shot = 577fps9p = 1 shot = 564fps10p = 3 shots = 670-561-511fps1st Retained air test10p = 3 shots = 511-695-423fps11p = 3 shots = 462-672-544fps12p = 4 shots = 380-498-692-380fps13p = 4 shots = 334-423-580-649fps14p = 6 shots = 252-298-360-465-570-419fps15p = 6 shots = 223-249-364-469-620-446fpsI am going to make some 100> 200gr lead weights for the hammer,to test the results for retained air, the last 10p test is getting close to where I want to be,for 2 shots etc.If I can get down to 2 shots for retained air, with a slightly heavier hammer weight,then I can tune the hammer spring weight, for closer spec's.Waiting for parts to get here for the SSG mod.Your thoughts and suggestions...........Thanks Don

Your suggestions and thoughts..........Thanks,Don
