    Have I damaged my pistol?

    As for my earlier post
    http://www.airgunbbs.com/forums/showthread.php?t=486217

    Because I didn't have a powder measure, I loaded my pistol with just over half a dose of a 25 grain vial which should have been approx 15grn max charge.
    Gun went off like a canon
    Next 6 shots reduced load, same thing
    Final 6 reduced again, same as

    Today I took delivery of a set of electronic scales & found that I had shot 34 grns & that the vial holds 50grns
    (Shooting 2.15 gms instead of 1.0gms max)

    Is it likely that I have damaged my pistol with this load (FFG)? I certainly damaged my underwear when I found out

    I shall return to the shop & complain next week.
    The vials are Pietta & NOT cheap
