thought it was a light pellet in a springer/gasram? that should give highest power reading as a rule

[David.evans 5,323]

Sorry John

Yeah sorry I meant replace it with spring/piston etc.

i spoke to the gun dealers in newport about this and they said it would under value the gun, i havent had it tested of its lb age, but the weihrauch theoben is ment to to a good air rifle, iv just bought some scopes for it, but need some advice ect ect...

No books are printed now as the internet has taken over completely.

Following on from an earlier post regarding police testing. This came up in a discussion a little while ago so I contacted my local firearms office to ask if a situation came up where for example the police were called because somebody had reported ' a gun is being used'. So what tests would be done to establish if this gun was within the law, do you test the gun with the pellets being used or use a selection of your own pellets knowing that a heavy pellet may push the gun over the limit.

 

The officer understood my concerns and said they would always use our pellets being used, if there were none available, then they would use a selection of their own including heavy pellets so the moral of that is to ensure you carry WITH you, a number of spare pellets ready for testing should the situation come up.
