Not so good shooting

Okay somehow the MRD pellets worked okay.
Beasts at the distance ( 80 M ) also not that bad aside for one of them spiralling way out of control.

The slugs was more or less a disaster, and i wont even try and blame any wind, cuz the MRD pellets proved that was not the case

But i figured add a little video of the area we play on and maybe someone will spend the 5 minutes or so watching the damn thing :unsure:

I will however clean my barrel cuz come to think of it, on the Maverick it have been a while, and quite a few tins of ammo.


Isent it typical the second you bring out the camera things fall apart, also why i do not like competing in anything cuz when i do i generally perform about 25 % worse, it have always been like that in ping pong - billiards - shooting - darts ASO
Anyway i have nothing to hide, and i also think anyone trying to shoot 5 different things out of the same airgun might also have some group issues

I'm assuming you're shooting 22 cal. Will you're Mav shoot anything accurately? The question is. Your problem strictly the ammo or is some of it an accuracy problem with gun?
Hey, I'm not saying your guns not accurate. Just wondering if it can shoot hole in hole so you can have a standard to compare with.. Some of these groups are not to bad. No slugs I tested could compare with pellets out to 100 yds! (25g/ 25 cal. Compact)

No i just shoot .177

As for the Maverick i can say that after i put on the 700 mm barrel it is a gun i can live with / work with, that was not so much the case with the 600 mm barrel.
Dunno why the barrel changed that much, but it did.
I also think that my dream of a setting that can shoot more things sort of accurate, well i might have to forego that at least in the sense that i might find a place where i can shoot a couple of things with it, 5 different things are probably a too tall order if you want accuracy, and i do like that though out here at the 80 - 100 M i am willing to sacrifice some of that as i think with the pea size in mind it would only be natural.

I do feel that with the .177 caliber and at least things ( barrels ) as it is now 100 M is sort of a tall order for pin point accuracy ( shooting outdoor )
It might be a good idea for me to focus on 50 M and then the hole on hole accuracy, though that is not going to happen as i shoot out of the tin, so the rouge pellet will always be there

I do wonder though i shot sort of the same range of pellets and slugs last Saturday and here the gun,,,, or maybe it is just me shot better, and after that i only put a few 100 shots thru it.
TBH the way some of these groups "stack" up, dont make that much sense to me

I am going to focus / dial for the 13 grain slugs on the Maverick, and then i will just have to take what i can get from there, but i would assume with the power wheel alone that might also work for the MRD pellets and 13 grain JSB KO slugs.
It might be a good idea for me to restrict my fooling around to the vulcan 3 gun as it is not a rifle that lean itself much towards tweaking, so that in itself might put a damper on my incessant fiddling with screws.

I think i am just a toddler messing around at the moment, i probably grow up soon and get my act in order.

I am having fun though, and that is a big thing in my book

Might just be the liner. I changed out a 500mm damaged liner for a 600mm new one on a Dreamline and it went from shooting like shotgun to hole on hole sub-moa groups. It was clearly something bad with liner.
