i put it in my 440 hunter that it came out of and shot it accross the chrony and averages 500 fps now i did not have a chrony prior to sending it back so i don't know what it was shooting before but seemed to be alot higher than 500 and the gas ram install is not as complicated as a spring and guides and what not so i think install error is out the question any ideas anyone.

Bad ram. I had one fail in my Benji XL. It chronied about 500 fps after it had failed. The cocking effort was noticeably weaker. Now, the one that you have probably isn't as powerful as the one that comes in the XL but 500 fps sounds way too low. Send it back and sound ore disgruntled when you talk to them. Squeaky wheel gets the grease.
-
Yep the ram is bad.. Or your chrony is...:)
-
I had a Nitro Piston installed in a Whisper, - absolutely great. Although I don't have a chrony, I KNOW it's faster now. I'd have another one installed in a heart-beat. Gene's right, either the chrony or ram are faulty.
-
the chrony is good i shot my cfx across it and it shot 850 and the b26 which as well shot it's normal so it must be the ram. i will be going back to the spring i'm done with crosman rams this is the second one and was sent as a warrenty replacement for the one that went flat.
-
They must have sent you the one I sent back. LOL! That is the reason why I went with the Theoben gas rams.
-
That's sucks you got a bad one. I had pa put one in my gamo hunter and it's nice. Shoots about 40-50 fps faster than big cat with spring. I shoot 8.4 gr at almost same speed as big cat with 7.33 gr. Gas ram is nice, hope you get a good one this time.
-
thanks dj but there will be no next time i'm done with the crosman rams and have no intent on getting another one and i installed the spring with custom guides and brass tophat yesterday and the gun is spitting a constant 830 fps with 8.4 jsb and the ram is very consistent as well it shot a string of 20 pellets all withen 5 fps of each other at 500 fps so i find it hard to believe that it is nogood but just underpowered the last one when it went bad it went flat with no force what so ever this one takes more force to cock it than the spring does and after removing the ram there are gouges in the front plastic where it was scrapping something in the action.
-
maybe they sent you the bad one out of my gun I returned to them! LOL!
