Am I right in assuming that the first round in a mag is the one that locks the mag to loaded and takes the full weight of the spring that turns the mag or is that the last pellet fired?

Yea, a good thread.

That first shot from a mag is defnitely the one to watch too.

Great thread with some rare data re damaged pellets.

Best of luck with the shooting comp and I'll look forward to more testing of damaged pellets re POI... 

thank you for your efforts!

Thanks Kruza, it'll be a lot of fun regardless of the results Thumbs Up

I might grab that off you Mark, it's not much good for anything else so I wouldn't feel bad about taking a welder to it....

Before and after is quite extraordinary.
Crosman barrel = so useful universal tool.
I have a 6 inch scrap cut-off if wanting to make a permanent setup.
Nicely done.

Just 10m in my shed.  The pistol will be a more realistic test when I get to it.  We have a red dot pistol trophy shoot this weekend so I'd rather not swap it out until that is over.

OK, some preliminary test results at 10m using my Dreamline set to low power to save me swapping pistol scopes at this stage.  I normally shoot 18.13gr JSBs with this rifle so it may not be quite so receptive to the 13.43gr pellets tested.

Far from definitive, but generally as I would have expected.  Ten rough pellets and ten good ones, five into each target.  I will try again using a pistol and report back in due course.

Damaged skirts shown below.

I'd be keen to see if there's a difference in depth of rifling marks in the head of the pellet.
Could be that in that millisecond that it takes the damaged part of the skirt to flare, that the undamaged part of the skirt has started to lift the head on the damaged side into the rifling, which then corrects as the pressure equalises going down the barrel.
Or the other way around, the air passing the gap and expanding pushes the head down in to the rifling.
Just a thought mind, have no real data or evidence to back this train of thought up.
