What does the lbs. refer to? How does more or less pounds help the fire arm?

The amount of pressure thta is but on it the more lbs the better the handling try to get the same settings as this one it handles better than the factory one and the recoil is a lot better now.

generally relates to shooting heavier or lighter loads so the action cycles properly; unless you're doing hand loads, use the recommend spring weight for your caliber.

The Lbs, or pounds is the resistance of the spring. If you read Galloways website they have different weights in spring tension that can effect the recoil of the firearm. I would stay with the factory spring weight to keep recoil and specifications the same so that it does not cause any stove piping or any other issues. Only use the higher tensioned spring if you always shoot 147gr in my opinion.

No weighs more, you cannot get anything lighter to do the damage that this can, this is a great tool. Never a single problem and a nice workout at the same time. You will not go wrong by buying it.

I shoot a 180 lb without any issues. I really wasnt aware of a limit on these or the carbon for that matter. My buddy shoots a 195 lb. and used my extras a couple weeks ago also no issues. Everything I have seen from Wicked Ridge (even on their site) has no max poundage listed. Sorry I couldnt be more help :-(

Not sure...I don't add weight when using this rest to shoot from. Frankly I'd say if you need that kind of stability, you probably need a Lead Sled or such. My primary use for this rest is still a nice gun servicing unit. I only use it as a rest for minimal shooting situations or other quick-and-dirty instances where I don't want to lug around something heavy. Still, for those situations it works better than it has a right to, and piling bags of shot/lead on the base would improve its use.

If I remember correctly the 17lb spring is the same as the factory, or very close. The other spring weights while affecting recoil I think are really to match the bullet weight of the cartridge, i.e., the heavier the bullet the stronger the spring. I have the 17lb spring and use a cartridge with a 115gm bullet and it works fine so far.

lol.. I have the same question. I think, they meant 0.21 lbs. 21 lbs is a typo.

There is a stabilization leg. I believe, but y9ou need to discuss this with the designer, is the strength of the loading arm while extended either in the short, 500#, or the longer, 250# set-up. It is all about lever arm strength to load.

My question as well. Saw a youtube video with a different company and he stated it had more snap with the lighter spring but was able to set his follow up shot quicker. The heavier spring took longer to set up the next shot because the gun traveled slower in the recoil. My question still remains if there will be stove piping if I use lighter grade ammo with the heavier spring.

The spring worked very well I now have a 3 lb trigger pull instead of the 7lb. thanks for the spring

I have only used 55grain fmbt so I can't say what you would do with heavier bullets. I think it's safe to say you would see slower bullet speeds hence more drop at any given yardage.

I believe it comes set at the maximum from the factory which is 70lbs but you can use a bow scale to check for sure. If you wish to lower the draw weight, just back out the limb bolts one full turn each at a time as per the instructions in the manual that comes in the box. Hope this helps.

not so sure of what the exact weight is but i can say its really not that bad. It's a little bit tough but after you start breaking in the gun you'll get the hang of it.

To me no,trigger pul on that gun 12lb.Its more consilment and grip for control.

No bigger then 3 pounds. We bought a 3 and a half pounder and it kept hitting the element's on top which caused it to catch fire.After that it went to the trash since neither black and decker nor amazon would do anything about replacing it.

Amy, The lighter the BB the faster it will shoot however I would use what the manufacturer recommends. Something too heavy or too light may cause damage

Victor, Contact Galloway directly, they have excellent service and want to make sure you get the proper parts to meet your need. But per their website: "Direct replacement for the stock 9lb unit from the factory. Will fully cycle full power ammo and help reduce felt recoil and muzzle flip." Based on that, I would presume it would add ~4 lbs of spring loading to what you have now. This is meant to tame the recoil, but may make it a tad more stiff to manually cycle the slide. I replaced the spring in my LC9 (from 16lb to 20lb), and I cannot say its any more difficult to operate the slide.

this spring is worthless for me. it is hard to cock the hammer back, too much for this little pistol for my taste, I ended up putting the original spring back into the pistol. I believe the original is 8lbs.
