The old man was speeding again today!

With temps at 90 when I got home from work, I gassed up the old 1950s Crosman 114 and put a few over the chrony. The gun has had some mild valve work done and I drilled out the transfer port one drill size. I also added an extended bolt probe. First shot across the chrony blistered in at 725.8 fps. I was using Croaman hollow points - 14.3 grain. The next few shots settled in from 715 to 710 where it held for a few more. Then, it settled in again at 700 or so. I did not chrony a full string as I wanted to get some target shooting in, so I ony stopped to check speed every 3rd shot or so. Groups were 1/2" at 30 yards. The gun's a lot like me - old, but we still get the job done.
