It's scheduled to be here between 11:15 and 1:15 on Monday. My kid has an appointment at 1:00 for an hour that I have to take him to. So about 3 o'clock I'll take the rifle to my mom's, mount and zero the scope, then get chronograph readings. So I should be able to put everything up Monday late afternoon, early evening in a new post.
sounds good brother, family firstIt's scheduled to be here between 11:15 and 1:15 on Monday. My kid has an appointment at 1:00 for an hour that I have to take him to.

The 1st pellets I'm going to test over the chronograph will be the 14.3 CPHP's, since I found information on three different stock 392's with that exact pellet - that way I'll be comparing apples to apples...that's just the start.Turning 72 this week, I now make conscious efforts to not repeat myself unless something really bears repeating for good reason(s). So although I've probably already proffered this advice, understand I repeat it now for good reason(s).
Assuming accuracy is at the top of your want-list, and maximum energy is next on that list, start your testing with 18.13 grain JSB Exact Heavies (or FX or AA branded versions of them). But if high velocities are your second priority (to accuracy), start your testing with 14.3 grain JSB, FX or AAs. And if excellent compromise between velocity and energy is your second priority (to accuracy), 15.9 JSBs (or rebranded).
If not impressed enough by then, and not too injured to continue testing, compare those results to H&N, new-die Benjamin, and/or AEA weight-equivalent domes.
Last but not least Don. Don't just listen to your shoulders, elbows and wrists; HEAR what they have to say about it. And should your testing expand beyond the recommendations above, take up professional arm-wrestling.
Happy shooting, Bud!
