This is a Hunter (Bengal Tiger) , not a target gun (Jaguar)
This makes me feel better. I have a 17 cal bore snake and I have been wanting to run it through the bore a couple of times. I have been using hoppes elite and gun oil on the snake for my other powder burning rifles.
Carl... that post needs to be a "sticky"
I have now shot this gun enough to tell where the pellet is going to hit based on how it fits into the barrel. If the fit is tight the pellet is going to hit 1" high and .5" left. If the fit is normal it will hit .5" high. If the pellet fit is loose it will hit 1.5" high.So now all I have to do is remember how the pellet fits and hold off target accordingly. This is not a perfect system so sometimes I will miscalculate my hold or the gun will actually shoot where I am aiming which can be a problem when holding off target. I am happy to have identified a pattern with how the gun is shooting.
Those crosman 177 heavies in the brown box look like they may be worth a try. I will have to buy 2 or 3 boxes to get free shipping so it will be a gamble but I can't see them shooting worse than just the 7.9 gr premier hollow points.From what I am reading a heavy pellet traveling 750 to 850 fps is a little more accurate than higher speed pellets.
[Amazon has the 1250ct boxed for $25, free ship for prime customers. I don't see any difference in the tin & boxed, but some claim the boxed are better.Crosman on eBay has the boxed for $28 shipped:http://www.ebay.com/itm/Crosman-Premier-177-caliber-Domed-Pellets-1250-count-177DB-/262637339882?hash=item3d2667c4ea:g:aiUAAOxyTjNSpJr6
