Millsy Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Ran a Chrono check on my HW100 last week & was suprised to see readings exceeding 12ft/lbs. Took it back to the gunshop where I bought it & they checked & confirmed it was firing up to 12.8ft/lbs with Acupells & 12.2ft/lbs with my favourite Air Arms Field. They also said there was a wide variation in fps? between each shot. Gun now gone back to importers for adjustment. Last time I checked, it was firing at an average of 11.4ft/lbs so its gone up on its own! Good job I invested in a chrono I reckon. Last few weeks I`ve been missing some very easy shots but just put it down to me. Invested in 2 sizes of Harris Bipods but even on targets I was disappointed with my groupings. Got to the point that I thought maybe I should give it a rest! Any road up, I took my old Venom Viper out Saturday night for an hour, & with 2 shots I took 2 Rabbits so a bit of confidence restored. Just thought I`d share that lot with you :o Regards Millsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millsy Posted August 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Yes I have noticed a significant drop in pressure,(on the dial), on cold mornings. Never noticed a drop in performance though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
