Well to start things off, I was getting good groups with my BC, but I got a little greedy and decided to cut the factory crown off to see if I could get even BETTER groups, which was a mistake. Well I decided that since I more or less screwed myself with the groups , that I might as well start cutting the barrel down some more and to do some accuracy testing for some other people, so that way they don't make the same mistake as me. I had cut my barrel down from 18 inches to 16.5 inches... re-crowned, did the q-tip test and everything, but that was a while back. Just recently (about 2 weeks) ago I decided to cut some more off and record the data that I would get.
In this test I would test 3 different kinds of pellets.... well they were all CPHP's but one was cleaned, one was cleaned & furniture polished, and the other was regular straight out of the can pellets. I cleaned the barrel before the testing very good, I wiped it down, thenwiped some Goo-Gone in the barrel, waited about 5 minutes then I put a clean patch in.. I did that about 3 or 4 times, until no lead residue came out anymore. I also shot the cleaned first followed by the cleaned & polished followed by the regular cphp's. Then I cleaned out the barrel again. I then proceeded to cut the barrel, then re-crown and clean the barrel again. I cut my barrel from 16.5 inches to a little under 15 inches, trying to cut in half increments, though that didn't work that well. I think that I did a pretty good job on the results, though the one thing that could have been better would have been for me to have a crono to also get fps results..
Pictures are coming up soon.
