... but everything is waiting for the 392 to come home.
Tim mentioned that 23 fpe, up from 13 fpe was possible with the steroid, which means a CPHP (14.3 gr), in a stock gun (+/- 660 fps) will be pushed to nearly 900 fps (25.55 fpe) in the steroid! That's beyond impressive!
I've already picked up some graph paper really cheap from Walmart so I'll be able to make a graph of the new fps ratings of the pellets. I plan on using the CPHP's, as that's what was used in the chart I found on line - this way I'll have a straight comparison between stock & steroid. The CPHP pellets are also only 0.1 gr heavier than the RWS SUPER H POINTS, so the graph for the Crosman's should almost exactly match the performance of the RWS SHP's. And the Crow Magnum Pellets are only 0.32 gr lighter than the Baracuda Hunter Extreme pellets I also have, so they should be pretty close to the same.
Just for fun, I also have a few dozen 21.14 gr Baracuda Match pellets that I will test as well.
This brings me back to the silicone-filled hollow points. They showed similar expansion in bare and rubber-glove covered Play Doh and I'm wondering what bumping up the FPE by 10 fpe will make them do??
I have to take my son to an appointment at 1:30, but when I'm done, out to Medina I go to pick up my friend's chronograph, so I'm ready when the rifle arrives. A quick zeroing session (so I don't shoot the chronograph), then it's off to the marathon of pumping to test the 3 pellets.
I'm already "pumped up" for the rifle's arrival and the wait is torturous
. But I'm hoping for next week, so maybe I'll be able to handle it
