Well,I went ahead and installed a Vortek 12 FPE kit into the 95. Since then it's had over 200 pellets and I think it is settling down and finally becoming shootable. At least shootable by a feeble old crippled fart like me. ;)
I have a target here shot at 30 yds using JSB Express pellets (14.35 grs).

The middle groups are indicative of what I'm now getting with the gun. Numbers 1 & 2 I was chasing the zero,5 and 6 I was getting tired.
I did think I had screwed the pooch yesterday when I fired it without a pellet in the breech. I pulled it apart today and nothing was broken,blown,or busted ,so I guess I was lucky.
My last chrono string was
574
610
608
611
609
614
618
614
617
615
If you ignore the 574 that's a nice spread. I suspect that might improve even in time.
While I envy those who can shoot a full-power version,I'm just happy I can hit something with this once in a while.
I did shoot it at 15 yards to see if the groups were off windage wise and they were centered. I might try shooting at 40 yards to see if there is any deviation there.
While my HW95 might be considered a "cautionary" tale I think we're finally getting to an acceptable outcome.
Thanks For Looking :)

Try adjusting the trigger. Your groups look good though I bet you can do better.

I would agree with this. A little practice and you'll be shooting one hole groups.

Thanks guys,I have been thinking about that myself. The last chrono string I ran indicates that I have an es of 5 fps! Wouldn't believe it if I hadn't ran the test myself. Guess the vortek kit and seal are working pretty good. About to go out and shoot,so I will make minor adjustment to the trigger before I step out.

The Rekord is fairly easy to adjust. You will need a small torx wrench. Check this out.

I went ahead and put a Vortek PG2 full power kit in my new HW95. I just couldn't stand the twang in .22 when the .177 I've had with a pg2 was soooo much smoother.
End of the day, CPUM 14.3's are hitting 815fps (up from 750!), and both group I managed to shoot yesterday at 25 yards were one hole.
Got to love how smooth those PG2 kits make these guns!

Duckfish,thank you for the link,I think I have the trigger now adjusted to the right weight. :)
Wimpanzee,I have had good luck with vortek kits,they seems to make the firing cycle notable quicker.They also make chrono readings far more consistant.
Well,the great accuracy I was getting with JSB Express went south when I started shooting out of the next tin of pellets. I'll get 2-3 in a ragged hole,the other shots will be flyers. I have switched over to AA Field Heavies (18 grs) ,they give good accuracy so far. Would have liked it if my pellet hunt was over.
I have heard other people state a similar experience with jsb pellets,I do hope this not a trend. I sure do envy the folks that can get good accuracy from cheaper pellets ,like crosman and rws.
