    I'd be happy with those on an HW100

    You could spend a small fortune trying to get tighter figures, but in the real world you will not notice any difference in POI with those figures at air gun distances unless your getting into bench rest or target shooting, in which case you would have a difference type of gun.

    Spend the time on pellets and practice as it will give a better return than chasing a tighter spread

    PS - your still running either close to or over the limit with this

    Thanks for the info. At 8.44gr it is too close to the limit. I will have to return it to the gun shop. It's a shame as I don't really want to be without it and it is only a month old!

    Should I ask for a replacement?

    Regards

    I don't know how they re supplies these days but when I got mine a few years back they had a reputation for being full of grease which when cold was too thick and gummed up the works a bit effecting consistency. I had mine degreased and tuned to 11.5ftp. I need to spend some time and money getting pellet choice sorted because my Mk1 Rapid beats in for accuracy.

    Show them your figures and just ask them to turn it down a touch, perhaps call them first to make sure they have a gun smith to do it, but they should be able to do this the same day and give you it back
