If you begin using the same distance to the chronograph that I do, you won't have that problem ever again.
And that distance is****

Of some interest; the 22jet has almost the same usable powder capacity as the .218 Bee but safely,it seems, can drive any bullet over 100fps. faster.For instance a 55gr. bullet with a little over 1 grain more of IMR 4198 can be driven at over 2700fps as apposed to the .218 bee at 2567 fps..Examination of the case shows the load in the Jet is mild and a little sooty; no over pressure signs and remember this is a pistol piece of brass using a rifle primer. roger
