After eventually finding the seals that my wife had opened, put down, covered in junk mail and forgot about, I excitedly fitted them to the Supertarget.
Naff-all improvement.
Maybe another 10 or 20 fps after I re-set the barrel to account for the slightly slimmer breech seal.
So with every possible modification done, (
apart from drilling out the transfer port to 4mm), I am seeing 350/360 fps with 7.33 grain H&N pellets.
But today I got over 425 fps with a lead pellet I hadn't tried in it before!
The 'awesome' Kvintnor Delta Russian ammunition!
Super-fast but absolutely abismal accuracy. Even at a distance of 8 feet from the target, the spread was about an inch.
Speed isn't everything...
