Dave,What kind of speed do you get with those on 8 pumps? Is your 342 steroided?

I like your enthusiasm but I wonder about this idea of having spare seals with you out in the field. You're not going to be able to change any seals in the field, and, if you keep the gun oiled properly you're not going to need new seals for decades.I think you mentioned you bought a couple of pump seals, did you mean pump cups? Either way, I'd keep them sealed in a ziplock baggie or something to keep them fresh for when you need them decades down the road.I'm looking forward to hearing how the JSB monsters work in your gun. I've been thinking about getting some for my 392P.

It is a strong shooter & compact.Steroided 'Dan over Steroided Racine 342. As you can see, the 342 is about 2-1/2-3" shorter than the 'Dan.
Somewhat of a balancing act matching pellet weight and velocity. Off the shelf 392 would match up good with 15 gr. JSB pellets. To get more FPE the gun should be upgraded. As always, the best pellet would be the most accurate one.Could not resist running one of the 25.39 monsters through my 392”k2”. 650@8 I generally use the 15 gr. JSB in it though.
