I appreciate that information. I think I've tried every other type of pellet at 30 yards (only the wad cutters were shooting well at 30) , except domed. Last weekend was my first attempt at a greater distance.

That's a good suggestion. I'll try some domed pellets. Thanks.

I just have an entry level Diana rifle. I've been shooting at 30 yards since I got it. The gun will do 1/2 inch, 5 shot groups. This weekend, I moved out to 50 yards. Very disappointing. Such a mess, I didn't even bother to measure. My gun is unregulated and I'm using 7.7 grain wad cutters...

I did get to try that batch of .177's I recently purchased this afternoon. My goodness, they don't like my PCP rifle at all. Getting 5 rounds in a six inch group at 30 yards was a chore. It looked like #2 shot shotgun fire. I understand that different guns like different ammo, but these are NOT...

Old thread alert ! I can't answer your manufacturing question, but I just bought some of these and they're shooting quite well in my Diana Stormrider......

I was just about to start a thread on Crosman pellets. I just bought a mixture of wad cutters to see what my Diana Stormrider likes. The Crosman, I notice, have a seam. It goes all through the pellet like they were cast with a poorly machined two-piece mold. I figured they weren't even worth...

What did you buy ? I just looked at their inventory. Except for some slugs, they're mostly 'sold-out'......

Those are great links. I'll be running through some exercises this weekend. Thank you for all your help folks !

Here's the scope, a Pinty... I had that outter ring cranked all the way CCW (+) when I started to notice the parrallax. Normally it's about where it sits now. When I was goofing it around, I just thought it was something I had never noticed. I didn't realize that I had just created it.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the info...... I assume the objective is adjustable as I have a plus or minus I can dial around. As a matter of fact, I was screwing with this during this past weekend when I started to notice this issue. I had dialed the objective ring all the way out. Perhaps if I...

What am I seeing here? I noticed last weekend, if I move my head a little, the point of impact will change in my scope. It isn't an expensive 3-9 scope. Is this why people spend big money on optics? This is something I've never noticed before........

As someone mentioned previously, there are many variables. What came as a surprise to me, years ago, was how critical the pellet is. I was used to, basically ,22 cal. rifles, with chosen ammo making little difference. I grabbed a bunch of different pellets and was shocked when some could barely...

Sounds great.....I'm still a hand pump user, I'm jealous. Enjoy the gun !

Hi Folks, This was shot with a .177 FWB Model 2, Iron Sights, One Handed at 27 feet., score 352. (Includes target 3 which is actually an 84, not 85) The way I started out, I thought I was going to hit my elusive 360. Alas........
