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??

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.Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.Comment

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)Comment

You may want to also look at the chrono procedure listed here. I also received with my mag, a tech sheet detailing this procedure with a bit more detail. hope it helps!Comment
