    Blue thread locker in wood?

    The screws on my hamsters are constantly backing out. Worried about damaging the wood surrounding the hole, and the screws not holding at all better off using super glue in the hole, letting it cure THEN putting the crews back?

    How could you predict FPS changes by changing only pellet weight?

    My TX200 is shooting 8.64 pellets at 780 fps (55 degrees, 4500 ft ASL). Changing NOTHING else but pellet weight, is there a formula that would predict what speed, say, a 10.5 gr pel would be travelling? Would save me a couple of evenings of chrony work.... :) TIA dan
