338 RPM Issues
« on: July 12, 2024, 06:56:47 PM »
Was wondering if anyone else was having issues with velocity with their 338 RPM, the only way I am able to get advertised velocity, is if I spray a shot of WD-40 down the barrell before each shot.

Thanks

I don't believe this. Stop, do you have any idea of what pressure issues do to a firearm?

WD40 isn't actually a lubricant. WD stands for water displacement and the 40th attempt at it. No mention of accuracy? Velocity is not as important.

lol - he is probably reading velocities off the box which is 24" barrel and shooting an 18/20" barrel - there's a million articles and i'm sure disclosures referencing such?
