Cricket accuracy problem after cleaning

Hi again
I also have a Cricket .22.
Whoever told you best accuracy at 953 fps is badly mistaken , Imo.
All diablo pellets run best at appx 900 fps. The small increase in power caused by extra velocity reduces shot count, increases noise level, causes more wear on seals and mechanicals. Mr F Axellson of FX has stated when talking about airgun valving sysytems that quote " there is a war going on inside ". I cannot see any advantage. If one needs more killing power/range move up to .25 , which you have at your disposal in the Daystate MTC you own.
Ask yourself, if you doubt me, why the likes of Ted fires his guns at around the 900 fps figure?
The shuttlecock profile of diablo pellets is intentional and is a limiting factor . If one wants more range /power and the gun is capable of handling that a more bespoke pellet is needed. Hence powder burner bullets are aerodynamic and have much better ballistic credentials.
Safe shooting

I will try different velocities between 860 to 900 and see what happens..this is new gun for me so have to learn what she likes.. thank you for the advices..

I agree. My .25 Marauder is tune to shoot the 25.4 grain AirArms are ≈860 FPS. The only drawback is, it can out shoot me!!

all barrels arnt the same and all pellets arnt the same. you will need to test your gun to find the most accuracy no matter what any one says

DANG shooting into 8mph wind! I would just leave it at that! AT 50 yards right? Don't clean your barrel unless you really need to.

Nice guns you got there, looks like you just might need an Edgun-Eddie and a Mutant too to continue the relentless pursuit of the tiniest long range groups! IMO the 22s are easier to shoot more accurately than the 25s due to less movement when shot and more forgiving to the way they are held when shot.

Yes I'm saving money 
for my mutant veteran.. and you are righ .22 give you more shot count, cheaper pellets and less movement when shot.. I think my next one it's going to be .22 veteran
