i went to a feild the other day with my new mag. This is the first mag i have ever owned so it is all still new to me. i went to crono and my first shot read like 375(we wer cronoing at 280) then every shot after that was down around 250 with a +/- of about 20 fps. the only thing im really conserned about at this point is the high Fps first shot. It only seems to happen after not being shot for a couple of minutes. Has anyone else had this problem??

We need to know what kind of set up you to properly diagnost the problem.

A high first shot or a high velocity after sitting for a while is usually and indication of a bad regulator seat oring. Since the mag is new, it may be a bad oring or it could just be seated bad. What type of valve is it? A classic or a x/retro? Make sure you lubricate the valve with the supplied autolube or get a good quality air tool oil.

About the +/- 20 fps, if everything in the marker is perfect, check the paint, i was getting +/- 100fps at the field the other day and it was because the paint was crap (evil doesn't work well in the cold)

yup, i had that happen my RT-ULE came tuned like that. Oiled the seat pin ALOT, and switched to a larger lvl10 spacer to fix the bolt stick it usually resulted in.

You may want to also look at the chrono procedure listed here. (http://www.airgun.com/downloads/RT-ULE.Tac-One.Manual.pdf) I also received with my mag, a tech sheet detailing this procedure with a bit more detail. hope it helps!
