Wow, that's some great info, and extremely timely!  I'm fighting a barrel issue right now on my .22 Maximus.  Shoots great without the LDC, but once added I can't even hit the target!

Hi Paul
Could be the pellets are clipping the LDC. Trying insert a knitting needle down the barrel from the muzzle through the LDC. It should sit central to the hole. If not try a shim of paper under the LDC until the knitting needle is central to the hole.
One of mine  needs a small piece at "20 minutes before", as you look at it.

Neil,

Mine turned out to be harmonics from adding the LDC.  I added a second barrel band and it's now more accurate than it shot before without the LDC!  Thanks...

I ran across this again and I was again wowed by the great write up shared knowledge.  I have started lapping all my barrels and find it makes a world of difference.  My experience as been only with Crosman barrels and find that while the QC has improved, there is almost always a sharp edge transition from leade to rifling.

Excellent post in the link, thank you Jason!
