James I figured I do the video and publish it because there's absolutely nothing else on youtube about it yet. Most promoters could give a rip about the consumers, all they want to do is line their pockets from advertising !!!
I go to my office to do some testing as I don’t feel like going in the boonies today. I want to see how much faster four pumps will push the Domes as I would like a little bit flatter shooting and a bit more energy then 3 pumps--- and I got it4 pumps gave me about ~380fps with these heavies, that is about 40 fps faster than 3 pumps -- and with the weight of these pellets that means a lot. The extra speed gives me about 8fpe at 25 yards and over 7.5fpe at 35 yards !! -- That works ----- With this amount of energy/momentum and an easy 4 pumps I’m good with just about anything I will shoot at within the 15-25+ yard range.Since 4 pumps with this gun is easy, 4 pumps will probable be my short range power set up. At this power setting I am about one mil dot low at 20 yards from my 5 pump setting. I think what I will probably do is get a solid 25 yard setting with 5 pumps, and set my 4 and 7 pump setting with the mil dots, set solidly at 5 power so everything remains the same.The extra pumps are more needed for elevation than power, as with 4 pumps and sighted in at 20 yards --- I’m 1.25” low at 25 yards, 3” low at 30 yards and ~ 6” low at 35 yards. This is not a flat shooting set up for sure :- ) But it does hit like a ton of bricks :- ) Yes 4 pumps is for short range stuff.Later guys,wll

I'm planning to try my 30gr BBTs with mine too.
Eddie those BBT's in hollowpoint are really nice out of the gun in my signature (Xisico Sentry) doing about 800fps, very accurate too.
Out early this am getting ready for "The Canned Corn Experience" (No, Jimi Hendrix is not part of this experience).
