Gamo Gamo Swarm Magnum velocity drop off

Contact Gamo and explain the situation. 90% chance they'll ship you a new magazine under warranty. They may tell you to try different pellets first though

I'll give it a shot. I'm actually fairly pleased with the rifle so far, but I'm more skeptical than ever about a magazine fed break barrel.

Lets just put it this way. I have 2x of those guns. Both have had their mag systems removed and I single load them now. This probably won't come as a suprise to you but in both cases group sizes shrunk.

I may yet go that way. One other bad thing I discovered about the magazine system is that it exponentially increases the likelihood of dry firing. It's just too easy to not notice that the magazine has failed to advance or that you have fired the last shot.
