Weihrauch HW100T .22 ...

   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.....

	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 , as I said maybe my wobbly shooting Edited by Andy-A - 08 Aug 2024 at 11:28am

	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... Edited by Andy-A - 08 Aug 2024 at 11:22am

	Another lovely HW100T! But at 50m, that rifle should put 8 shots in a 19mm group or less. If my HW95 Springer can do it, this HW100T should walk it! Have you tried Air Arms 16gr pellets? Wish I had the cash presently!!!

	Lol, sorry but was first thing I thought when I saw the group. I'd be selling my springer if it grouped like that at 50m.

	Looks bad, I'd reshoot the 50m. Without your explanation I'd have written it off as a not an accurate gun. Just my view.

	A few more pics, and like Paul, as it's this trusted forum, I'm okay if anyone wants to pay it off, same caveat, no $10-$15 weekly instalments, just PM me... The 50m shoot could have been much better, I wasn't trying hard enough Edited by Andy-A - 08 Aug 2024 at 9:03am
