I tried the different length skirts again, the cylinder will shoot through the complete ten rounds one time, and will jam up after shooting just one round the next. I was using the Chrony and nothing was registering, so I lifted it, moved it and nothing seemed to work. So I shut it down, took the cylinder out and the second pellet was cocked to one side (just a hair) but that was enough. I never planned to go moose hunting with it, or even hunt down a pack of marauding peacocks, but when I pull the trigger, I want it to do more than just make a noise. So where do I go to swap 2 tins of Crow Magnums in .25 cal (long skirts, for anything in a short skirt) I like the idea of anything in a short skirt. The Max will go through its paces again today as soon as it stops raining.
