    As per Mr plinker, I read it as it was blueprinted then put away, and recently brought out of the cupboard, now you've explained it I read it the way you say.
    When you know what you're trying to say it's obvious, but if like me you didn't know it can be interpreted in either way.

    Update: Just put 10 shots through the chrono in a more ambient temperature and saw a massive improvement. The mean Fps being 562 with a standard deviation of 4 Fps (JB really does make these rifles go up another level). That equates to a
    mean of 11.24 ft/lbs with AA field 16grn.

    I will rarely be shooting at -2C (temp i chrono'd at last night) but its good to know that even in the extremes I lose less than 1ft/lb of energy. Forever learning aren't we!
