    But one thing I hadn't done was to run another gun over the chrono. I did a short while ago. My HW70 with Superdomes, which I'd say are a tad heavy? Result? 1.5ft.lbs. so looking like the chrono isn't goosed!

    I'm going to strip and thoroughly degrease the 35. And then very sparingly relube. I might take a tad off the spring to soften it down further, also slowing down piston acceleration. 24ft.lbs out of a 35, eh? Well, I never!!!
    That's incredible, must be that short stout spring + detonation ? Mine does a fine impersonation of a Napoleonic musket when fired, maybe that's doing silly ft/lbs too ?

    .Edit, it's doing 10.88 ft/lbs, that's less than it was before I changed the seal, but these B r i t seals tend to be a tad tight, as they bed in the power goes up a bit.
