Never noticed them as much, probably becuse they haven't been a problem for as long and not as many sold. And I don't own one. Still just a drop in the bucket though, with more of a chance to get fixed, I would think, because they are a lot easier to work on. They all need to come up with a definitive fix for this before they come out with new models with the same problems.Check this thread out.
There are lots of threads discussing the slow first shot. It’s definitely a phenomenon with a lot of Ghosts and some other guns.
I wunder if it's just the Ghost? is it based of a FX but improved?Check this thread out.

Which were grouping the best? That's only 42fpe for the CCI, you should be able to get more than that I would think. I wonder if the diameter of the CCI is slowing it down a little, or perhaps it's hearder lead?I took the Marauder Gen 3 up to 2700psi with 30 gr CCI High Bar 30gr slugs. I maxed out at around 800fps. BC .071. They seem very tight. H&N 27gr HP slugs were a lot faster. Then I lowered reg to 2000psi and played around with Wally World NSA slugs at around 970-980fps.
That's awesome! It's always great shooting a group like that, but it's even better when you still have enough cash left in your pocket to go out and celebrate! You won the barrel lottery.So I got the Avenger put together and I must say I think I hit the lottery with this one. It really likes 950fps and JSB 18.13 pellets.

The cci are real hard to chamber, way too much friction. I don’t have enough H&N to really test for grouping. They were going where I pointed at 75yds. They were just leftoversWhich were grouping the best? That's only 42fpe for the CCI, you should be able to get more than that I would think.

I am just about ready to start back on my .25, and find a slug for it. Unfortunately, being patient has not paid off and I have not seen anybody declaring a definative winner for .25 either. I'm going to try some H&N first, I just love their products consistency. There are some small companies that look like they have some good products but I want some expectation that they are going to be around for a while and won't change out what I like, once I find it, so I am avoiding those for now. I am going to try moving my reg way up after I find a stiffer spring for the SSG. I don't think that I will get anywhere w/o doing that too.
If it ain't broke, why try to fix? That target of yours is down right impressive where its at."Airgun Related"..., I'm sitting here watching college football but thinking about turning down the regulator on my 250z to slow the 18.3s down from the 990fps they are shooting now. They are shooting very well at 990fps but I just have this 'feeling' the 18s can do a little bit better at a little slower velocity???
I suppose the best answer I can come up with is..., I get bored and need to 'tinker' with stuff to keep my mind active.If it ain't broke, why try to fix? That target of yours is down right impressive where its at.
