I have a beautiful brand new Pro Sport. I am in love with this rifle!
Gorgeous, extremely quiet and smoooooth!!
No matter what I have tried I couldn't get consistent accuracy. 6 would go thru the same hole then 1 would go low and left.....for months.
I put 3 different scopes on top, tried tons of different pellets and holds, all is tight.
Her favorite pellet is FTTs in 4.52. Nothing else shoots very well.
Well albeit dim, the light bulb went off yesterday!!!
It seems head sizes are not that consistent with that particular pellet!!!
Most fit perfectly.....snug and not tight. Quite a few are a bit tighter....never thought much of it. I should've!!!
Check this target out.
The nice tight tiny one holer, inner ring is smaller than a dime, was 8 shots at 30 yards with the snug ones.
The other mess is the tighter ones.
Ugh!! I'll never ever tell how many pellets it took me to figure this out!!

Brainless Wop is a derogatory term.
You should send me that AG as punishment.

I wholeheartedly agree Jeff and appreciate your concern.
I will ship immediately!!!

Joe,
good job, it puts a smile on your face when you figure it out.

Glad you got it sorted out before the GTA shoot. I'm bringing the matches.

Joe,
You can't send it to Jeff.... He is a inflatable guy now....send it to me.....

Actually if joe is unhappy with the Pro Sport he can send it to me then I will have a Motorhead tuned rifle

Hey .... this Pollock here did a moron thing yesterday. I go out and shoot about 5 hours, pretty warm, when the sun was out, and waited when the wind would gust ... but fun day. Anyway, everything is going well, shooting nice groups, and then I start missing ... 1 high, 1 low, 1left 2 low right you know the story ... I thought the scope blew up, but that didn't make sense, I keep changing holds, seat position, bag position .... driving me crazy. Then my low wattage bulb goes off and I check the breech. I found a squashed pellet in there! Dug it out, cleaned the breech up, checked the seal .... and consistency was back. I knew it couldn't just be ME !!!!

That still qualifies as cockpit trouble

Allan!!!!
My first HFT match with the 97 I dropped a pellet in the loading port......could've sworn I got it out!!
Took me about a month to figure that one out!!!

Outstanding Joe!

Thanks for the very usefull info! My HC likes the same pellet. I'll have to check the consistency of the head sizes on those. My shooting isn't normally good enough to have been able to decipher that!

This Limy will give you a low interest loan to buy another one if you send the original one off.

grauhanen · « **Reply #13 on:** April 27, 2015, 10:46:29 PM »

Considering the variety of sizes in a typical tin, it's sometimes a wonder that anyone can get tight groups. Good for you, Joe.

TheBman · « **Reply #14 on:** April 27, 2015, 10:55:41 PM »

I've had the same issue Joe with the FTT's. If they were actually 4.52's in the tin it's all I would buy. Very inconsistent...at least the ones I got.

Sfttailrdr46 · « **Reply #15 on:** April 27, 2015, 11:09:21 PM »

That is why we have some of the fanatical accuracy driven members weighing then sorting by head size the pellets that they shoot and then there are the extremists who wash and lube their pellets as well. Thank the guy up stairs I'm not that crazy yet

Joe P aka Sharky is almost that crazy already but I'm not certain on that just yet

You left out pellet sizers

TheBman · « **Reply #17 on:** April 28, 2015, 10:16:31 AM »

Oh I agree with being an accuracy nut

, but as one of the more expensive pellets I would think they would be "more" consistent in size and weight. I would gladly pay more for the quality "out of the tin"

I'm sure Pyramyd Air profits were good.

I actually noticed the same thing with the FTT pellets this weekend...................

I had a pellet fall straight out of the breech of my Diana 46E. It was grossly undersized from 4.52......

Up to opening this tin, all the pellets seated with what seemed to be the same tension according to the old educated finger tip.
With the new tin, not so much anymore....... $:-\$
