That's looking better Andy - well done!
That post-bolt tightening 50m group is certainly looking excellent! It's amazing how a pellet type affects accuracy eh? In general I find that any barrel requires 200+ pellets through it (at least) before groups start to get consistently tight - and of course, you have to find the right pellet for your particular barrel. And that's why we all end up with many many different tins half-filled with pellets (!) - all left over from trying to find the right pellet for your barrel(s)! When I win Lotto tonight (!), I'm coming to buy your lovely rifle!!! |

Or perhaps the pellets did effect the results and some of those pellets out side the main group are caused by inconsistency . Regardless a group I'd be happy to go hunting on.

Yes, I was thinking that, and the others you sent, I actually had a go at weighing a sample of the pellets, (the AA DF's) Never done it before and sorted them. Unfortunately, I'd used up the sorted ones before I discovered the slightly loose bolts. An exercise for another day maybe, although, (I don't really know) but perhaps the differing weights were so minimal as to not influence the outcome, I bow to the more knowledgeable here
See image for results. |

Looks like might have been a loose bolts problem.
Thats a way tighter grouping. I'm pleased it tightened up. Your usual pellet might have tightened up as well. πππ |

Well, it's a breezy day today, but Kruzroad, kindly sent me some pills to try.
She, (HW100T) liked the AA Diablo fields (thanks Dave & Kruzroad)) And had a Doh! moment, during testing I was still having issues... UNTIL!, I got an Allen key and tightened up the Allen bolts at the base of the stock, not too loose but just enough though. That seemed to improve things a bit, as I said fair cross winds but an improvement (I think) The image is before and after tightening the bolts.. (One 14-round mag each of the AA Diablo's). |

Hi Andy,
Would you be interested in a swap? Iβve got a lovely Air Arms S510 in .25 cal manufactured in Sep 2020, so itβs less then 4 years old, still got that new rifle feel to the cocking lever ππ» 3 magazines and an Air Arms Q-tec silencer. It is the XS, extra version which means full length and full power, has 5 power settings on the transfer port, they are roughly 2.8FPE, 15.2FPE, 28FPE, 38FPE and 41FPE. Has the super lite stock, usual AA quality. I love Air Arms, especially the S510s, and normally I wouldnβt consider getting rid of this lovely rifle, but I used to have an HW100 and I loved that rifle even more π I cry when I think about why I had to sell it πππ And Iβd love another one. Itβs the bottom rifle in the picture below, although that is not the QTec silencer that is on there in the pic. And as per your add, scope not includedβ¦ π |

I'll get onto it shortly Andy. I'll send up some cometa exact as well. Do you want any field target trophy at 14.66gr.
Both the tx and weihrauch have liked them. Though I think it's more my shooting a new gun and the pellet is faster leaving the barrel. I ended up AA 16gr for the tx and will hopefully end up back on 16gr for weihrauch. I've never liked shooting the 18gr personally. |
