Title: Marauder barrel polishing AGAIN
Post by: Wade.S on October 09, 2010, 01:17:58 AM
I polished my barrel as described on Greg Davis's web site with no change noted, as you may have read on a post I had written in the past. Well, today I did the procedure over again. After polishing the barrel I shot a group with once again no noted change. I then shot a group with another pellet that the gun in the past did not like as well as what I had been shooting. Now my gun likes this pellet very well. I was shooting a 5 shot group the size of a quarter at 35 yards. Now I am shooting one raged hole with ease. It got dark on me so I have not yet been able to test the gun at longer ranges. I will shoot again tomarrow at additional ranges and let you know how it goes.

Well, I shot at 50 yards this am and the group was about nickle sized. This is much better that before. I had been shooting the CPHP, now I am shooting the crossman premier ultra magnums.

I shot another 5 shot group this morning with the crossman premier ultra magnums at 35 yards. Here is the picture.

Thanks guys, I am now happy with my accuracy. Schmidt I am shooting 935 fps after adjusting her, it came from the factory shooting 998fps. The problem with that velocity is that it was loosing speed with every shot, there was no shot curve. That problem was easily solved after reading hear on GTA on how to tune her up.
