Regarding this post from earlier:
"Interesting...This is preliminary as I've just not had time to do a full test, but I pulled out an OLD box of Daisy wadcutters. "SuperMatch" "QuickSilver". They seem quite light.
I shot a few at 10 yards. 3 just about in the same hold (about 1.5" above b/e) and one 3/4" low clearly due to my rushing the shot. Interesting...
So, I just tried 6 more at 20 yards, and put 2 almost touching (again well above b/e), and three touching 3/8" to the left and the 6th was way high. I may have rushed htat one and been welding my cheek too hard, though. I'm going to run another 20 pellet test on a clean target, taking my time and letting the wind die down. I'll advise.
If my theory is correct (and we should know in a while when I have some time), I'm thinking that I need to wash my CPHP's in a bit of Dawn and maybe lube them with endust or similar(?) thereafter. Thoughts? "
I had a few minutes and shot 20 or so of those old (like 15 year old) Daisy pellets. Yanno, they shot pretty well. I may have had a flyer, every 5-6, but frankly, that could have been me. I also have to say that the gun is NOT as hold-sensitive as I'd been thinking.
The last group of 5 at 20 yards, I tried to be patient with and tried to remember not to hold the gun at all too tightly, just tight enough to hold steady. I was able to cover all my shots with a quarter, including my one "flyer" (the rest I could cover with a dime). That's not to bad for fighting a cold, shooting off a wobbly unnailed sill through a window. At least, for my purposes, it's good or good enough.
Something else I noticed. They aren't quite as loud as some of those CPHP's.
Should I experiment with washing the CPHP's or just start buying other pellets?
Other thoughts?
