    HW75 Performance

    I'm only getting 365fps Max, 7gr, out of my HW75, seems a little on the weak side? Even for Canada?
    Great shooting and very accurate though.

    I found mine to be pretty weak as well. Very consistent and pretty accurate, but low powered. TonyL has it now.

    That figure is about par for the course for a '75. They were never intended as powerhouses as you are limited to a single stroke.

    The Spec here states 125m/s (410fps) with an unspecified pellet. That seems optimistic!

    Yep, that's about right. I regard mine as a 10m target pistol and that's (energy) more than enough for that purpose.
    When I last chronoed mine, it was only slightly more than yours. Does it leak audibly on the compression stroke? If not, then it's probably OK.

    Some distributors quote unusually high velocities for pistols (and rifles!) but don't always mention the pellet may weigh as little as 6 gns!
