Airgun Technologies U3 Compact .22

Just received this little guy from a fellow AGN member. It is light and accurate, a great combination. Swapped the cocking lever to the left side, mounted a 4-16 Veyron and added an STO Faulx to the snout, which increased the length noticeably. Didn't use a Chrony on any of the shots today. At 40yds it loves Hades and nearly as well with CHCP's. Did not group very well with the heavier pellets I had on hand which were 18.3g JSB Heavies and 25g Hades Monsters. The previous owner mentioned it was tuned for 15g AEA's so I'm going to go pellet shopping out of curiosity. I haven't tried any AEA's before but read many positive comments about them around here.

Had a few jams with the JSB Heavies and 15.89 Hades. It looks like the probe caught the edge of the skirt coming forward and bent the heck out of them preventing them from even leaving the magazine? Anyone else had this issue?

Other than 5 jammed pellets, the remaining 67 shots were uneventful.

Hung the fx chrony on the bottle and recorded 12 (one mag) 15.89 hades and 24 CPHP.
Hades averaged 899fps and 28FPE.

Crosman averaged 928fps and 27FPE.

The pressure gauge started at 280b and indicated 170b after 36 shots.

The groups were pretty good for me at 4 cups of coffee and dripping sweat in the Mississippi swampy air. The backing for my splatter target is pretty much gone so the shots tear the paper....that's my story and I'm sticking to it!

No jams with the Hades on the one mag I have fired so far today.
