I hope you cleaned the inside of the piston tube before you put it back together again, or you will get dieseling which will give you a higher power reading until it has all burnt away. Always clean the inside of the tube, clean and relube the piston, and then put it back together.l, every time, regardless 👍

Yep, I know I said I don’t know a lot about spring guns but I know the basics. But now after buying a tin of baracuda 15’s and finding out they weigh 16.2gn instead of the 15.89gn stated i better check power again as I calculated it using 15.89 as the weight..

I have a Stoeger X5-not a bad little gun. I'd like something with higher velocity, but I haven't got the required license. Anyway, I'd been using Crosman .177-Caliber Pointed Pellets. I got quite inconsistent results, which I put down to the limitations of a break barrel gun. When I went to get more pellets, they didn't have the Crosman's, so I got Gamo Red Fire. They are amazing. My groupings are consistently within a quarter at 20 yards. More than adequate to take rats in the backyard.
