Millennium pumper accuracy

[c670809]

It looks like the other thread is shut down now. If the admins would like to delete this I understand.

A few on that thread asked about accuracy. Tonight was the first time I was able to try it again. I set the targets up and they ended up being 55 yards away.

I single feed pellets to keep the magazine from being an issue. I filled to 2000 and then shot 4 shots. It was shot from a rest.

With my powder burner guns I'm a .5 inch 100 yard shooter but with my pellet guns I'm a 3/4 inch 50 yard shooter because even the slightest bit of wind gets me. So, I'm a good shot but not the best. Today conditions were pretty good but the groups were just ok.

Here are the group sizes:
2.5 inches - - This is the first group the gun has shot in months. I'm ok with throwing it out but I wanted to be honest about it.
1.32 inches
1.35 inches
1.87 inches



So, It's between a 1 and 1 1/2 inch gun.

I might have found part of the problem with the accuracy. When loading the pellets by hand I notice that they would ALWAYS load crooked and when they loaded there was a noticeable 'lip' they were hitting and it was difficult to get them to go all the way in.

At least it gives me a starting point.

Hmm looks like no forcing cone...does the bolt o-ring seat deep enough to cut one...

I wonder what the chamber/leade looks like...would have to go back and read to see if they are cut for slugs... maybe he was thinking slugs not pellets so no forcing cone needed...

looks pretty good, are you the only one to ever recieve one?

I don't know much about the chamber/leade/forcing cone. I do know that he said it was cut for his slugs and for JSB pellets. But I'm not sure what to believe.

I know that at least one gun was delivered before mine. I don't know if there are others. However, there are still others still waiting on their guns. I'm still waiting on my second barrel. I'm pretty sure the only reason that I got mine is that I kept track of every email and post on the forum and bugged him weekly. Also when the Mods asked I shared what I knew.

Conditions were about the same today so I took out the Condor in .22 to see what it would do. I only shot three, three shot groups. I let a friend borrow the rifle so I wanted to check zero. I shot three shots and then adjusted. Honestly, I don't normally shoot this good but things just worked out today.

Here is the target. Condor in .22
Groups were all between .24 and .35 ctc.



I doubt if I took the condor out tomorrow I could shoot as well. Just a good day. But at least it does show that it's possible for me to shoot good groups ;-) and that the 1.35ish groups from the pumper are not me.

I plan on working on it as I have time or selling it to someone who only hunts and is ok with the groups.

Wow, all that time, all that money

......and in the end the gun is kind of an amateurish  build

I would like to see them shot on the same day. All but 1 of those groups look like they are wind blown.
