Mine's dropped down to 257fps so I'm guessing something's amiss. Another collector also tested his WRHP and it was only doing 135fps, but he thinks the breech seal needs packing out. I suspect the breech seal may be a weak point in the design and may flatten out beyond the point at which it's being compressed. I might have a look at mine over winter.
I was very surprised how accurate it was though.
Cheers,
