It was the first part.
Where can I read the next part?

It's in the July issue of USAShooting news. Or you can ask this guy; he wrote it.

This guy was at the Junior Olympics at the OTC in Colorado Springs. He was testing pellets and making recommendations for size pellets in peoples' guns. He used a wood jawed, woodworking type vise to hold the air pistols by the air cylinder. Had an electronic target that just showed groups, no scoring or aimpoint. I think the worst group was around 8 mm c-t-c with very undersized pellets (or oversized bore) It would still hold the ten ring. He improved it with larger pellets (his brand, of course) to less than 1 mm.
Most peoples' guns were shooting 3 to 5 mm ctc groups.
Five shot groups at ten meters. Neat to watch. He was set up in the small test range by the front door, not the main ranges.

Yep, they have a Meyton in there. It actually has a pellet testing mode on it, which is super handy. Not sure how long its been there, but it was there in January 2014 at the very least.
