Low power

Sun Dec 18, 2016 1:39 pm

Hello. Help needed my s410 is about 60 fps lower in cold weather. I have had all seals changed about 6 months ago but now the power is lower is this caused by the temperature drop.I have warmed the final up with a hair dryer for a few minutes and it goes up from 730fps to 780.does this mean it needs a good clean inside to Polish the internals as the grease or oil is thick due to cold weather making it thicker than normal.

Predictive spelling strikes again !!! :lol:
But we kind of get what you meant to say, Blackcat :)
Yes, a PCP in cold weather will significantly drop in power. No worse time for this to hit you tha when you are hunting in winter and the rifle is like a block of ice ... Once you know that it is happening, you can allow for it.
