I have had the same thing happen shooting a rifle I haven't shot in a while. POI shifting. Have to adjust the scope. I second the temperature hypothesis. All factors are the same with no changes except temperature and time. Ergo, temperature seems the answer. OR Any chance you are using...

For close shots consider a 7 grain wadcutter. Very deadly at close quarters and the light weight will shed velocity and help minimize any ricochets. Velocity should be in the 600 - 700 fps range. H&N Terminators are awesome, HOSP's pop when shot. RWS meisterklugen pellets seem to work very...

All the rifles and pistols suggested so far are perfect. The Crosman pumpers are very people friendly and fun to shoot. The HW30 is very appealing to kids and adults. I think the main idea is to bring "fun guns" to get more people exposed to the sport. Just think, all those people will bring...

The holes at 3 and 7 look like they are tumbling compared to one on the far left. Do you have a chronograph to see how fast you are chucking them? Might be too fast.

That is perfect. I can totally understand why you moved there. Looks like heaven. The electricity is a bonus.

That's what I do. I get all my chores done during the week so I can shoot on the weekend. I get to my friend's house around 0900 and usually leave around 1600. Time flies when you are plinking! I am thankful that I found a like minded shooter. We have fun tearing up cans and spinners. Had...

Can you call Lothar Walther up and ask for a barrel blank? If so, wow. I found Chambers after I had a trigger screw fall out of my HW50. I had a replacement screw in less than a week. Great service with no hassles.

This vendor has very good service and quick shipping for Weihrauch parts. https://twchambers.co.uk/

Be thankful for what you have! I have to drive 45 minutes to shoot.

Everyone should have a Beeman P17! One of the best pistols to "dip your toe in the water" on the market. Perfect pistol to open the rabbit hole. I still shoot mine!

More information about the match and participants would help. Ana Rose must be a heck of a shooter. Well done!

Nice shooting! I am not a fan of flies, mosquitos or wasps. I use any weapon of chance when I encounter one. I recently purchased the best bug killing weapon next to a zapper light. This thing is a hoot, especially if you leave some bait out. https://www.bugasalt.com/

Nice groups! I never understood why they quit making that rifle. They hit a home run and then nothing. I have the same lead residue issues when I shoot a tin or two of CPHP's in my HW50.

I will play Devil's Advocate for .20 and .22 springers. Bigger pellets so easier to load. The .22 will shoot CPHP's in a pinch. Bucks the wind, bigger pellet. More kinetic energy down range. The loopy trajectory for the .22 is fine with known distances of 20, 30 and 55 yards for me. At 13...

Welcome to AGN! Get some Crosman Premier dome 14.3 grain pellets from Walmart. Cheap and most rifles shoot them well. Like others have said, clean the barrel. Have fun!
