So.. shooting the 2260 today with Leland co2 carts.. all four carts shot 30 pellets at best. . ???Some shot only 22 shots. No, I haven't weighed them. . . it's obvious that 4 of 4 did not come close to the 40 shots avg that I get from Crosman carts.

That is strange. I have been using the Lealand carts and getting the same results as the Crosman carts. Humm?

Maybe your valve has a little more room in it Brian.

I am not suprised at your results, BDS. I have weighed many CO2 cartridges. I tracked full and empty weights of Crosman Powerlets, Leland cartridges from Red Rock and cartridges I purchased off the Yellow which I am certain are also Leland.

I found that the Leland carts averaged 1.22 grams less CO2 than Crosman Powerlets. To date, I've received no explanation for this. For you numbers oriented people, here were the average fill weights.

Crosman - 12.24 grams
Leland (Red Rock) - 11.01 grams
From Yellow (Leland) - 11.01 grams

Thx for the weight stats Larry...

Targetgii... "more room in the valve"

No, first 41 shots of the day were with a Crosman co2 cart as normal.

I don't get it either. I just weighed empty Lealand and empty Crosman carts and they both weighed the same, 1.2oz. Full they both weighed the same, 1.6oz.

I don't think your scale is accurate enough (only going to 1/10 of an ounce) . He's talking a difference of 1.24g or 0.04338697 oz.

Yea, right. I was using a postal scale. My Ohass 505 won't go over 505 grains. 435.5 grains is an ounce. So what do you want me to weigh these with? The carts both weigh the same. I'm getting the same shot count out of both types of carts.

If you want to keep spending .55 a cart for Crosmans, get you some. I like shooting cheaper.
