All this depends a lot on the calibre of the gun and the power, cheaper guns tend to run near the maximum for the setup quality guns tend to have a bit in reserve. The above figures are only an estimate and can very on the same make of gun. A good guide line is that airgun companies that shout about the output of their products are running at there limit, not good if you want the spring to last a fair while. _________________   Posted: Thu Aug 28, 2014 3:02 pm twalter Veteran Member Joined: 12 Jun 2011 Posts: 180 Location: East TN USA Im sure the spring should be replaced if it has a nasty near 90 bend it in when it is outside the compression tube... right?
