As per Midnite.
The problem with dieseling is that the extra power is not consistent and is offset by resulting inaccuracy.
Have you notice that the first half dozen shots after oiling the barrel tend to go astray? That's dieseling.
On one of my .177 rifles, there is a marked increase in retort if it diesels. That rifle's already well over 1000 fps, so the extra power may be spitting out at supersonic speed and the extra noise is a sonic crack (speed of sound is approx. 1125 fps)
