| It's not just you. I think it has more to do with lubricant distribution than "warming up." |

I find the that kind of happens to my Patriot, and all other springers I've owned. Maybe not 20 shot I'd say 4-5.
It by no means has any gooey crap in it, or over-lubed, but the highest chrono figures I've ever shot, most certainly were not the first few in a session.
My personal theory is that, indeed, most likely the bore does heat up after a few shots. Thus heating the lead very very slightly that is conditioned into the bore. Also too, with all that friction as the pellet passes down the bore, surely the heat generated plays a part in the velocity / accuracy initially, as opposed to a stone-cold bore. |

| Yep. Mine aren't too bad cold, but not quite right if they been sitting. If I'm going to go sit in the woods and chase squirrels and starlings, I "warm it (and me) up" in the morning or night before with 20 or so shots to get any lube moved around and blow the dust off it. Tweak the scope if need be. Then I can go sit in the woods with confidence. |

| So you've already started to figure it out huh? That springers will confuse you any way they can! If I had just 50 cents for every pellet I've burned trying to figure out a springer's "problem" I'd buy a TX200 lol |

| I'd never give up the springers for that reason. PCPs are extras. Can't wait to get the QB78. c'moooooon mailman! |
