To change limbs and pick up 16fps
The best I could ever get my 350LE to chrony was 335fps with a stock diablo and a 100gr field point and stock string.
Well I had my left limb splinter early in bow season and Excalibur sent me a new set of limbs. While I was waiting on the limbs to arrive I found a smoking deal on a Bulldog m380 blackout and I have been shooting it exclusively so far.
Well I finally got bored Christmas Day and put my new limbs on. Installed the same string and shot the exact same arrow with a 100gr field tip and my three shot group averaged 351fps
My old limbs were numbered 52.5/53 and both my new ones are a 52.
Not complaining but damn she’s hauling some a** now!!!

That is awesome, and not uncommon. The numbers are a way of comparing sets, but what they really mean is still dark scripture! Glad to read that you have gained so much out of her though, ENJOY!

Re: Is it normal...
It's probably a better chance that your current limbs are working like they should and the previous limbs were weak.
The awesome news is, now you can shoot a deer 16 feet further away in the exact same amount of time as before!
Glad to hear it worked out well

Just so the tillers on the money and the speeds close. As the others said you got a bonus. Even if you lose a few fps in the future it's not a biggie.

My micro 355 always shoots well but was on the slow side for speed.
After switching out the limbs I went from 328 FPS to 346 FPS with a 390 grain arrow which puts the numbers just about right on.
