I'll decide once I get it whether to shorten the barrel. I had heard lots of good reports with no negatives for a shorter barrel but hearing what you and Pete say, I might leave as is.
Mine in 22 shoots best with jsb exacts in 5.52, didn't like ftt's, wasn't bad with aa fields in 551 so would probably like them in 552, also liked aa hunters but i only had a sample pack. Gave good consistant readings over the chrono with Bis superfields, but wasn't accurate with them, i have some falcons, but gave poor power readings with them so haven't tried them at 25m.
Not fitted a tbt kit in it yet, but will do in the new year, i have one in my 95, which also has a tbt short stroke kit in it & that is so smooth to shoot & easy to cock, you would think it was low on power, not running at mid 11's.
