I shot some more of those annoying four shots in one hole and a wild flyer groups with my Hatsan mod95. Anyway, I consider it hunting accurate. Four shots are always in a tight cluster with one flyer hanging out two or three inches.

Could that flyer be caused by a pellet that's under/over size or under/over weight?I think I'd try a different tin.
Went to the range and dialed in my .457 a bit better. I realized part of the problem was my ammo. Today I started getting into slugs I've cast more recently and they are more consistent and more accurate. Right now I'm sizing everything to .458, but I might take my sizing press/die with me to the range next time and try some in .457 and see if that's any better. I love being a member of a private range, I can take a five gal water jug and my compressor with me and refill my bottle all day without bothering my wife. I was there for three hours and only one other guy showed up using the long range rifle range and left after a few dozen shots. I really enjoy shooting steel targets and not having to worry about lead spatter on my own property. Totally worth it for the two gallons of gas it takes me to get there and back, a drawback of living on the edge of the earth. For some reason my Challenger fills super slow, I'll ask in one of the long AEA threads if anyone else has the same issue. It's not the worst thing in the world, but it takes two minutes or so to go from 180b up to 240b, and that's with the bottle valve wide open.

I was wondering if ranges would let you bring a compressor and plug it in for refilling.
