Starting down the rabbit hole...

Try some RWS Meisterkugeln... Mine loves them.

Just mounted and zeroed a different scope with exactly the same results.  I just happen to have some of those pellets and will try them next. 

I’m also wondering if the pellets are clipping the plastic front sight shroud?  Hard to tell looking at the end of the barrel.

Thanks guys!  I’m not worried though.  I can control it.  I’ll just do a few mods to my gun.  I won’t become addicted.  I’ll be able to quit any time I want...

Well look at it this way, if I can’t get the level of accuracy I need, it will be totally under control.  $104 total investment and no mods at all.

I tried the Miesters and they shot the best.  5 shot group=just a hair over 3/4” outside edge to outside edge.  By comparison, I grabbed the Disco and shot a cold group right after.  It measured just under 1/4” outside edge to outside edge.  Then same with the .25 Marauder.  Right at 3/8”...

Just a thought, see what it will do at 10 yards then move it out when you have that working.

Maybe the barrel just needs to get seasoned to really start performing.

That’s what I’m hoping.  I shot another group with the RWS’s.  The first 4 looked pretty good then I got a flyer that opened it up. 

I’m thinking of pulling that front sight off just in case it’s clipping.  Anybody know how to pull that off?

Geez, just went back out and tried a 10 shot group using 8 pumps instead of 10.  About a 2” spread this time.

Well different day, different results.  While I was drinking my coffee this morning and waiting for the temperature to at least rise above the teens, I grabbed my pull through and patches.  Began pulling dry patches and man they were dirty!  Took at least a dozen to get one that wasn’t black.  Back out and started shooting.  First 5 shot group was with 8 pumps and 18 grain JSB’s.  About a 1” group.  Then tried again with 10 pumps.  Group shrank to a bit under 3/4”, (outside edge to outside edge).  Went inside and cleaned the barrel again.  I swear after those 10 shots it was even dirtier. 

Went back out and tried the RWS Miesters.  With 10 pumps, the first group was right at about 1/2”.  Second group was even smaller. 

Starting to look like this is gonna work out after all.!
