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

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....

	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!

	Yea, a good thread. That first shot from a mag is defnitely the one to watch too.

	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?

	Interesting - so can I just clarify that I haven't misunderstood: Is it that when I fit a magazine into my PCP, press the pin forward to center the rotating mag on it's spindle, this does not actually properly line up the mag so the pellets will slip directly forward into the breech? And that alignment only happens as the first pellet is pushed into the breech and the alignment is done by the actual pellet as it goes into the breech from a non-aligned position? So the first pellet can be subject to deforming as it enters the breech while it is also moving the magazine into proper alignment? And most (or all?) magazine fed air rifles are designed this way? Which is why serious target shooters want feed in single pellets not use magazines? Thanks for educating me :-)
