fewer than 100 pellets down the tube...mild twang in the rifle but it does not seem to affect POI with such a short barrel and short locktime. All the pellets had a nice snug fit with the CP the tightest at breech, then JSBs, and the HN and FTS with a nice small amount of resistance to seat them.

I am going to waste a 500 shot Tin of JSBs and see if it seats the seal in at all

The tape from AOA was the same JSB pellets and must have had some dieseling...I have been keeping the rifle standing in cabinet on butt so any oil will move away from seal area
