Apologies in advance, I know I'm a broken record.

About Mac1 and my Benjamin, but he texted me a minute ago, and my rifle is officially in his hot little, talented hands!!!

He also said that a steriod @ 6 pumps is roughly equal to a stock 392 @ 8 pumps (+/- 13 foot pounds) and a steriod can be pumped 14 times for 23 foot pounds!!!

I'm definitely getting a chronograph to do a bunch of testing (playing around) 😉

Don,

Of course, you know that with the Steroid Package, it's a tad tougher to pump those fewer pumps, right?
I have a Steroid Sheridan and while it's not a problem, it is tougher to put those pumps in.
A friend, who is 90 years old, used to be able to pump it, but can no longer get past 2 pumps now, if that (yes, I understand that 90 is advanced age).
Just a friendly tip.

I also am having the extended pump arm installed, which Tim says lowers pumping effort by 25%.

I had a Steroid silver streak that as I recall was putting out close to that 23ftlbs in .20. If you can stand all that pumping, you will definitely be rewarded with some magic from that gun.

As soon as the rifle is on its way home, I'm going to order a cheap chronograph from Amazon and test the velocities from 1 to 10 pumps with a CPHP 14.3 gr pellet - because that's the pellet used in the chart I have for the standard Benjamin. But I'll do 11 - 14 pumps too, just to see how much difference those 4 pumps make (and how hard they are to do).

The CPHP pellets are only 0.1 gr heavier than the RWS Super H Points, so the FPS / FPE should be identical. Then I have the Crow Magnums @ 18.21 gr, and the Baracuda Hunter Extremes @ 18.52 gr to test.
