Hey Bob - I looked up your Crosman NPS TR77 out of interest - what a military-looking beast! How do you find the nitro piston? I see you mentioned that it drops a lot more than your Ruger? I just really like the idea that you can leave it cocked without damaging the spring. When i am hunting...

Hi John, I'll give those pellets a try sometime. As it happens, my Chinese-made Ruger has much potential but is known to leave the factory lacking quality checking - Bobbed here suggested a good old makeover, everything got tightened, an o-ring got padded.. and she's been a different rifle...

I'd be very interested to hear how you go with the heavier pellets - I saw a lot more fall than I thought i would (as per the title of the thread). I love the hollow points though - they are much more likely to deliver a quick death to the animals I'm shooting. I'm much more accustomed to...

Haha yeah I've ordered 4 tins (still waiting for them though..) - those Crosmans are all I'll need. They really do severe damage on the pests too.. it's good to know that death will be quick for them. I am finding that I need to hold the Ruger Blackhawk a certain way. I have to hook the stock...

Yeah it seems pretty fussy all right, I found that I needed to be quite consistent in how I held it as well. I'm never looking back from those crosman hollow points, I've ordered a bunch more tins to stay stocked up :) The gun feels so much better since giving it a workover, solid and quiet...

Yeah I got the idea to check the o-ring from Kenny. The seal really was very flush... to be honest I would say that the recess was a touch too deep for the o-ring. The o-ring had very slightly flattened, and I believe that was enough for the seal to become insufficient. As cheap and nasty as it...

OK - crosman compared with gamo as requested. So another piece of tweaking I did - the o-ring sealing the breach was sitting too flush. As a test I cut out a ring of very thin cardboard to get the ring protruding at all. The effect? It's noticeably 'crackier' - a sharper sound. I am sure this...

Would you still think they were good groups if I said I was only 11 yards away? Ha. That's the furtherest I can get on our section. Couple of fliers per group but I'm still working to completely standardise the way i hold the gun. Leaving the front arm loose, the trigger-hand grip loose, while...

Just to follow up - since working over the gun, I seem to have a tighter grouping with the lighter Gamos, and I think they are both shooting a lot higher - so must be more power. It sounds different too, which makes me worry that if air was escaping at the breech then I've been half-dry firing...

EDIT - after pulling apart, applying loctite and tightening things up - it definitely felt like s different, more solid gun straight away. And the heavy pellets were shooting higher straight away, higher than the light pellets used to in comparison! Crazy. I'm going to sight it back in with...

Excellent advice, thanks for taking the time there. I'll go get some loctite and sort it out.. my clip for the cocking arm must have been missing or defectivefrom factory, because my pin fell out after shooting only about 40 pellets! Shoddy. That caused me to take the thing apart somewhat in...

Hey guys, I have begun using a Chinese-made Ruger (Blackhawk Elite) to control pests. I have put a good scope on it. It's rated at 1200 fps for lighter pellets. I initially used a 7.5 grain pellet - a gamo pro-magnum, and was not happy with the accuracy - I was getting regular outliers on the...
