Just out of boredom...
« on: November 25, 2006, 11:48:24 AM »


was shooting my still box stock 1377 in my shop the other night. Have not been happy with the accuracy or consistency of this thing so far, main reason I haven't posted much about it. I've been sticking to lighter pellets, thinking that lower power needs lighter pellets. After trying just about everything else I had, I finally dug out my tin of Beeman FTS. Next to some Silver Arrows, these are the heaviest .177's I have on hand. First 3 shots went through the same hole at 10 yards, and the next 2 were touching. That's with 6 pumps. Finally, some consistent accuracy from this thing. Is this typical, that even at lower power levels they prefer heavier pellets? I'd just about given up on this thing, now I'm going to have to do something about the sights. And then I need to get a different breech for it, and different grips, and maybe a LW barrel, and... I think I'm in trouble again!

Happens often enough that testing  all the pellet stock on hand seems worth doing reguradless of the power level. Haven't noticed a trend, but barrels are individuals.
