    Try a lighter pellet for more muzzle velocity?
    I wouldn't consider at your guns performance, that it would be defective in any way?
    I am in the UK, and we are allowed 6ft/lbs, so at 3.8 I think its not right...

    Are you saying that in Canada, you are limited to FPS, not Energy? How does that work?.. You could put a heavy load in a powerful gun and still be under 500fps, even though you have a HUGE (lethal?) amount of energy... Do they literally only limit muzzle velocity? Or is this at a specific projectile weight?

    I am not too worried about velocity.. Of course I could go for a lighter pellet if I wanted a faster shot.. But I want to be sure that its delivering the correct amount of power and if its not fix it.

    In a way I hope that my new Chrono confirms my findings as I would like to take the gun appart anyway, to learn how to strip it and fix it IF something is broken.
