    Am guessing that if you used heavy pellets the pressure build-up would be greater so the piston would be slower and the recoil or impact of metal on metal less ?
    Using a Hobby at less than 8gr would rattle your teeth but a Bis Magnum

    Heaviest .177 pellets I have are JSB Exact Monster 13.43 grn, think they will fly in quite an arc from the Gem.

    Seal

    How you managed to get that nice new seal into the action without scuffing it to bits on those threads . . . piece of plastic sheet or coke can wrapped around to protect ?

    No need, the compression chamber is a smaller diameter than the thread, similar to the Bonehill Brittania. A problem when you are trying to find an accurate diameter for the seal.
