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.
👍👍👍

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.

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.

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
