why cant i use heavie pellets in…
in a springer?
my gamo 1250 extreme (30 ft lbs it was tuned and modded by rich in mich)
is coming tomorrow
i made an order of a bunch of pellets from pa
well i was told not to shoot the 28 grain eunjins in the gun it will wear out the spring?
i also ordered JSB monsters(25 grains)
can i use the monsters? are they too heavy
why will a heavie pellet wear out the spring?
i also ordered jsb exacts 18 grains, i have a couple kodiaks i need to order some more when pa gets em instock
and i ordered some polymags
well back to question

I have a self tuned RWS 350 Mag that is a great shooter. Its been gathering dust ever since I got my Condor. When my new shipment of 28 grain Eunjins came in for my condor I decided to give them a try in my 350. I ran out into the garage loaded it and shot it into a 2×4. They where a very tight fit.
Well the heavier, tighter fitting pellets caused such an increse in bore pressure the there was ignition and the gun nearly took my shoulder off. 😯 The bruise it left is still with me, and I have shot some insane calibre powderburners they have never left that kind of bruse. It looked like I had 10 pulls from a 416 rigby or hopped up 375 HH. My 38-378 WM doesnt even do that after a day at the range. I tore the whole gun down and its looks fine. Built like a tank.
So I guess my advice is BEWARE. I did do a light lube job before I put it in storage and I guess there was some residue. make sure your gun is clean.
Oh and the pellet whent straight through the 2×4, through one side of my weber BBq pit and dinged the piss out of the other side.
thats comming 😉
i am saving up for the conversion
That is why you should have gotten a GAS RAM 🙄
i bought the gun already tuned
but he said not to shoot the eunjins
i am gonna send rich in mich a email and ask him he did work the gun
Think they say that you need to add weight to the spring and assembly i have heard or you will brake spring eventually. what did the guy say that tuned the gun.

Dear god. That doesn’t even make sense how a springer could do that! 😯
