Been playing with my 2240 carbine. Its got an 18" barrel, Boss valve, Melon bolt probe and Disco heavy spring. These are some of the results I got

JSB 13.43 gr

Average of 639 fps for 12.18 FFE

Crosman 14.3 CP

Average of 629 for 12.5 FPE

H&N 14.66

Average of 624 for 12.67 FPE

JSB 15.89

Average of 606 for 12.961 FPE

JSB 18.13

Average of 578 FPS for 13.453 FPE

H&N 21.30 Cuda's

Average of 554 FPS for 14.52 FPE

Did not want to try anything heavier. Figured this 2240 is potent enough for taking squirrels from my yard.
