I'm wondering if I need to check on sending mine back. I wasn't happy with the chrony numbers at all. I probably have between 250 and 350 pellets through mine so far and the velocity just isn't what I'd expect. I've gotten the following results:Pellet FPS SD Avg FPECrosman Premium HP 760 14.97 10.15Crosman Premium Heavy 668 10.46 10.41Crosman Destroyer 800 9.66 10.92RWS Superdome 845 22.38 13.6Gamo Match WC 782 14.17 10.28JSB Exact Heavy 643 10.08 9.52Accuracy has improved as I've gotten more pellets through the bore, but I have serious questions about the velocity performance. I quit getting smoke in the barrel after shooting about 100 pellets. I was surprised that the Superdome's at 8.3 gr. were consistantly faster than all of the 7.9 gr. pellets. What do you think? Send her back, or shoot some more lead?
