    I agree that the Eliminator would be a better choice.

    I think you misunderstood my point, which was that: that the shop owner wasn't lying, but that the HW90 is not ideal at 25ftlb.

    Fine. I'm staggered that the rifle didn't fall apart at 25 ft lb. As a matter of interest did you chrono it?

    Yes, although it was a few years ago....if I remember right, it chrono'd around 25ftlb with JSB 5.52.
