Hi Nate I'll tell ya an issue I had early on don't know if it's happening to you but worth a look. I kept having poi changes or what I thought were fliers but what is was ended up being crushed pellet skirts. When I was loading by hand and closing barrel sometimes the pellet wasn't seated far enough in and when the barrel was closed it would crush a spot on the skirt and pellet would shank. I only found this after loading a pellet and closing barrel then reopening barrel and seeing result. I cut down a small Allen wrench to use as a pellet seater and found that solved the issue. Since then I purchased a pellset from PA set it real low and now no matter how big or small a skirt the pellet is set at a consistent depth each time. Might be worth looking at yours during your next shooting session. Good luck brother.
Sadly NOT a hold issue. Quote below a copy / paste from a comment I made within another thread.QuoteSadly HOLD is not the guns problem ... at our informal TARGET springer shoot this past weekend we had 4 guys shooting at 25 yards.We each shot 5 shots at a target then moved over to the next rifle having everyone shoot each rifle Rotated 4 times as well. ( Present were all .177 cal, FWB124 - 2 RWS 34's - Benji regal NP )NOBODY could get the Benji NP to stack pellets !!!Going to call Crosman today and see if they will replace barrel for us ??My son who KNOWS how to shoot won the match with my 124 placing 5 shots in under .265" ctc !!My experience is 25+ years shooting magnum barrel break springers ..... This Benji NP rifle is just not a very accurate gun !!** Did contact Crosman/Benjamin customer service and they ARE sending us a replacement barrel ... we shall see

Good luck brother.Just wanted to say thanks for this as my Titan GP was giving some flyers with it favorite pellets (RWS 14.5 S.Domes). After reading this I checked and sure enough every once in a while the skirt on a pellet was getting crushed when closing the breach. Used a cone shaped honing stone and took a little off the inside so now the pellets seat completely and consistently. I know this doesn't address the initial POI issue but wanted to say thanks for the advice.Andrew
