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!!! Wink

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 Smile
See image for results.Thumbs Up

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.

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?
I’ve got a lovely Air Arms S510 in .25 cal manufactured in Sep 2020, so it’s less then 4 years old, still got that new rifle feel to the cocking lever πŸ‘ŒπŸ»
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 wouldn’t consider getting rid of this lovely rifle, but I used to have an HW100 and I loved that rifle even more πŸ™ˆ
I cry when I think about why I had to sell it πŸ™ˆπŸ™ˆπŸ™ˆ
And I’d love another one.

It’s 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 included… πŸ˜‚

Walk quietly, but carry a big stick.

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.

Hey Andy,

Don't forget that when changing pellets in your barrel, you need to "re-lead" the barrel. So.... put at least 10 new pellets through the barrel before trying to get a better group than previously.

Ideally, if you have a .22 gun cleaning kit, I would:
  • Clean the barrel with Ballistol Oil
  • Then re-lead the barrel with 10 new pellets at least
  • Then shoot a new group or two to see how the barrel likes the new pellets...
It'll be interesting to see how the 16gr pellets perform!

Good Luck..... Smile

I've got a tin sitting of 16gr aa here. If you want to pm an address to send them to, I'll post you a hundy or so to try. Still got a tin of hades to run through 1322 before I resight for them so can afford a few, and should have restocked by then.
Bag rest it for 50m. Your trying to show the gun accuracy to sell it.

Dave, I'll try and source some Air Arms 16gr pellets and try them.
At least half of them passed the 19mm test Smile, as I said maybe my wobbly shootingConfused

Well, a quick down & dirty 14 shots (1 mag of 18.13 JSB's) @50m.
half of them touching, the rest decorating the perimeter, not sure, it may be my Wavy-Davy aim :-)
For me, any one of those shots would have pinged a rabbit's head.

I'll have another go when I get time...
