One streak of lead in your rifling can cause a flier. If the flier removes it then the next shot is on but could possibly leave a new lead streak and cause another flier. So, even though I only brushed over all the chatter in this topic, you need to see just how rough your barrel is. I think someone mentioned that the bores on these guns are rough. You can spend every dime you have on trinkets that claim to make the gun a Daystate beater, but if your bore likes to collect lead, you’re chasing your tail.

"I know that the current hype surrounding airguns is brainwashing guys into believing 100 yards is a walk in the park and everyone’s gun is a MOA 100yrd powder burner equal. The reality is 100 yards is no joke with an airgun. With the slow lock time, giant hammer sliding down a tube to strike a valve pin, so many things start to rear their ugly head at 100. Personally I would shoot the gun at 50,60,70,80,90 and 100. See at what range the fliers put you outside of what you consider acceptable accuracy for a $300 gun. Flier diagnostics can be very frustrating. Especially when they are at normal realistic pellet ranges. You are operating at the extreme edge of pellet range with any hope of consistency at 100. So if you want to be a 100 yard guy maybe give the 33gr pellets a try or commit to going broke and possibly breaking a cheap gun by chasing the slug dragon. "
Hi Guys, I took a slug .2520 marked with shapie, loaded into breach, locked up, pushed back out with wooden dowel. Looked at the land groves with close up photo. Multiple striation running the length of the lands. Took another slug and flattered out a little to .2540. Repeated the same procedure, thinking it might see the grove marks. Concerned that no grove marks appear and pellets and slugs aren't sealing off. Will try to repeat with larger dia and see I can hit the groves. From the looks of the lands, polishing is going to be required.

I am trying to figure out what is causing the flyers. I have tried 2 different scopes, 3 different pellets, the same results. Wondering if the regulator could be the issue. Regulator is set at 2100 psi, fill to 3300 psi. All pellets out of the same tin. Any insight would be appreciated.Are the fliers all ending up in the same area, like they are grouping together? Or are they random?100 yards gives alot of time in flight to be affected by wind and even pellet deformation. Most guys shoot slugs that distance to counter those issues. Have you tried shooting closer to see how it groups. I would try 30 yards, then 50, to see if it repeats itself.

Thanks for the replies. Will look at pellet water catch of the pellet. Will watch video on accuracy when I can get 2-1/2 hour block of time , sounds very interesting.
