I changed from .177 JSB Exact Diablo (8.44g) to H&N Baracudas (10.65) and immediately found pellets mag or pellet seating jamming often. Mag seems to seat fine only when cocking is there the issue.
Wiggling the cocking lever at the same time as the mag can fix the issue, but sometimes I need to pull mag shaft and cocking back and wiggle the mag to get it out then re-fit.
This is recurring on each mag.
I removed and lubed the mag O ring and mag and found zero issues with JSB, but the H&N Baras will load but with extra force required - pre-lube they did not want to load at all.
I note all pellets looked and loaded fine when loaded into the mag.
Has anyone else found issues with loading high quality pellets of different sizes?
I presume my used Cyclone has done a bit of work given previous owners used it for culling, professionally I think...could this indicate a service and maybe replacement of some parts is over-due?
