    Chip thanks for responding back. The only marks on the pellet after being shot is from the breech on the skirt They where fired into a can of semi gelled primer( not scientific ), also the fact that they impact side ways at only 8 yrds. So that tells me they are tumbling basically right out of...

    trigger control

    I Have heard this many times. When Firing and type of fire arm including springers the basic rifleman ship are in play. But some rifles like a artillery hold, others like my Varmint .22 NP like to be held as tight as possible. I'm always messing around with my shooting style, trying to prefect...

    Pellets not making good contact with rifling

    Since the issue isn't to much friction and is not enough friction I haven't though of that. Thanks tho for the Idea.

    Pellets not making good contact with rifling

    That's the issue with the current pellets out there and why we get 2 or maybe 4 in one spot then a stray or 2. I have tried to stay away from Mods on my pellets, but this has got to me, having a few days off I decided to modify my pellets and have came up with something that is very good. So my...

    trigger control

    I've gone from shooting M16A2 and many other high power weapons in the Army to shooting Nitro Piston Springer and even tho I cant go out 300 yard or more and touch some one with them I sure love shooting them. the fact that they force you to control your breathing, trigger pull, extra is what...

    Advice

    Like with any firearms you will learn what you find not just works for what you are using it for, but what you enjoy shooting the most. I say go to Wal-Mart or sporting good store and get a Benjamin or Ruger that has a Nitro piston/ gas piston power plant . They shoot and act more like a powder...

    Help needed re. tight breach on a new springer!

    I'm have the opposite issues the bore size of my pellets are not large enough to make good contact to the rifling. While my issue will effect accuracy and I might as well be shooting a smooth bore, yours should do well, as long as the contact with the rifling is the full length of the barrel...

    Benjamin Trail NP

    NPs are good power plants, I have a Benjamin Varmint .22 NP plenty of power. The Issue I'm Having is finding rounds that have large enough head that they actually make contact with the rifling. I spent 14 yrs in the Army have shoot every thing from M16A2 to 50 Cal and each have the unique why...

    Pellets not making good contact with rifling

    Glade to hear that I'm not the only one with this issue. They really need to come up with a solid body pellet for break barrels instead of these diablos, that would solve this issue for good. Is there a company that sale rounds not just by cal. but also by bore size?

    Pellets not making good contact with rifling

    I Have a Benjamin Varmint .22 NP for a couple of yrs. But I always noticed how the rounds seem to always be off a little. So to day I tested my pellets. shot them into a can of gelled paint. So what I found is that the pellets had little to no contact with the rifling. This explains why air...
