I took the KT out yesterday to sight it in at 18 yards, based on Chairgun Pro zero optimization. I was having all kinds of problems with same pellets that it liked in my basement range at 10m, except for the JSB Jumbo 15.89 pellets. I got rained out before finishing up, but on the way home i thought about how heavy the trigger was. So this morning I removed 1-1/2 coils from the spring, and adjusted it for the pull that I wanted. I ran a small test with three pellets, and the JSB's performed best. Then I did a full sheet of 30 shots to validate it. The oddballs occurred when the CO2 cartridgoe got low and needed changing. Then it was right back on target. Now I need to get it back outside and zero it at 18 yards.
Outdoor zero at 18 yards...

My Sheridan 2260MB loves both 15 and 18 grain JSB's, they are high quality pellets.
-
Yea, mine likes a lot of pellets, but it's favorite are the JSB 18s. I have a power adjusted on the back and have it set quite low. I think I'm getting 32 shots on target on that setting. What is the barrel length on yours?
-
I got the 18" barrel to get the most velocity from the gun.
-
Hve you reun it over a chrony yet?
-
Ok, mines got the 14" barrel, but with the shroud it goes out to 19". I just paid for a chrony on the yellow for $39, waiting to get it. We can compare numbers once it arrives. I can't wait till it arrives this thing is gonna keep me busy.
-
Here is my initial Chrony data with the 18" barrel.

That's solid! What size of FTT did you try?

5.53 are the only size I buy. It's the mid size of the group, and almost envy gun in my inventory likes them...some more than others.

In my PRod there was a very noticable improvement with the 5.54 over the 5.53. It also shot JSB's like a shotgun. 🤔
