Pellet Seating Tool...

[18 Wheeler]

My FAC TX loses 60fps or there about when I seat the pellet into the rifling. This has been confirmed by 2 other spring gun shooters at our club. It also made the shot cycle feel very harsh.

I think that by seating the pellet further into the barrel on a springer you are effectively increasing the volume of the transfer port leading to reduced efficiency and making piston bounce more likely, hence the reduced MV and increased harshness. Just a thought.

Try a golf tee.

just use the next pellet to seat the previous one.


simplessss

stick a ball bearing onto a bit of plastic or metal tubing or use an old lever type key cut down to size then rounded off that way you can put a bit of string through as a keepsake

Pretty much so but rather than bounce, you are probably allowing c-r-a-sh!

Not a good idea to push a pellet down a springer's bore.

I use a fingernail to ensure consistent flush seating. While still attached to my finger, lest there be any doubt...
