After checking my RAW HM1000X for leaks and an experience in o-ring replacement ... I finally had a warmer day to test, still windy.
I have no idea what my regulator is set to because I spent time polishing the washers so my initial measurement was probably wrong. Anyway
I was shooting single shot and got bored with that. I do need to increase the reg pressure. No Idea what it is now. Started at 850fps from the normal 950. Increasing the hammer spring got me to 920's but no more. OK project for tomorrow, increase reg.
I switched to to my CARM magazine and just plinking at my steel 1" hole @30 yds seeing the results. Well the 3rd shot into the 2nd mag and BANG shrap all over. Crap what did I do? Pellets on the floor, plastic bits everywhere, chronograph said 621. Glad I had glasses on.
I don't know if I didn't get the cocking lever to the full closed position, it's so normal to do so.
So the mag blew up! Wow....
Probably my fault but heads up on using 3D printed parts that could be in a high stress place. Who expects the mag to blow up?
