Chrony and Pellet testing 1930's Crosman 102

[45flint]

Finally got warm weather and have collected pellets recommended for my recently acquired Crosman 102. I had earlier posts of a UTube Review. But in that review I did not have an extensive test of pellets and power. Here are my result and they seem to show a gun that could take on most pump rifles made today? Surprises the heck out of me. I bought it for a vintage gun, I collect more that I shoot. Lol. But this one could be a hunter for sure. The old manuals say 6 pumps is maximum. I just went to 7, really don't want to go higher with a vintage gun, but power seems fine at 6. Also in my backyard the report of 6 was getting a little loud and though legal in my town I'm not going to push my luck. 3 pumps is great for target not much sound at all. I have to believe this rifle was resealed by someone who knew what they were doing. Looks like I would be in trouble in England, goes throught 12 FP.
