I shot around 100 pellets today working on refining my holdovers and shooting two of my 1977s. I use JSB Beast pellets in both. The new LDC barrel insert is working great also. At one point I loaded a pellet in backwards without noticing and it blew the bolt back, the bolt came apart in the receiver. The pellet lodged in the barrel. I have not started tare down to see if I can get it out without hurting the barrel. Had I not been using the all metal bolt I made I'm sure it would be in pieces. The handle came off the bolt body and the dowel pin is missing but nothing looks hurt. I guess if the barrel is scarred I'll go ahead and put the 922 barrel on it and see how that works out. Just a little word of advise, be careful not to load a pellet backwards. I have heard of people doing it on purpose and it may work for some pellets but the JSB beasts won't thank you for it.
