.22 caliber guns shoot best with .22's in them......doh!
« on: April 12, 2008, 09:10:50 AM »


I couldn't figure it out, I was all over the place today, stringers left, right, high, low, WTF? I kept adjusting my new scope I just got and was zeroing in...



While I'm trying to figure it out my girl was yacking in my ear to come see the work she was doing in the yard or something like that etc..



I finally discovered that .22 cal guns don't like .177 pellets :o  :0 :D

Was there any difference in the sound of the shot?

I was shooting my C02 Custom Cross 2250 so it didn't sound any different and fortunatly there's no spring to destroy.

Yes Shadow they move around in and out of the barrel too. When I got low on C02 I saw one corkscrew and said thats it I'm taking her inside and taring her down to see just what's going on. I first checked the crown in hopes that I'd never recrowned this one and it was obvious when I picked up a q-tip and inserted it way too easily. Thats when the ah-hah!  moment occured

Oh I've tried to shoot 22's in a .177 but I don't get to far before I realize.

Getting old can be humurous
