I have a hell of a time trying to chrono my 226 because the chrono sees the gas more often than not... and then when you hold it farther out, the BB never goes through cleanly.
Its an xcortech 3200. I understand what you are talking about and makes sense but I don't think that was what was happening. (but possible). I would shoot full mags thru with the fps at that 275 range. The next day it went up and then a few days later it hit the 300fps range. Kinda surprised me but I just figured it was the 'working-in' of the gun. Like i said before i have done about 3 takedowns and put new silicon oils and greases on the gun. To me the swelling of the seals makes the most probable cause as it would take time for the seals to expand a bit....i guess...haha
