I've had a rollercoaster of results with the 500mm Panthera shooting Hybrids. Keep in mind the 500mm comes with the standard superior liner and not the heavy. Mine is 30 cal. I need some brains to help me think this through.
Out of the box, it was horrible with hybrids, and excellent with pellets. Long story-short, I put in the 8mm hammer weight, upped the reg to 170, my micro is set on 3.5.
Presto, speed jumped up to around 975fps and it started grouping the hybrids. Great. I've been shooting it for a week or so with that setup, and no issues.
Yesterday, I get a pack of Zan 45.5 grain slugs to try. Didn't touch my tune or anything. Since they were identical weight to the hybrids. They did "okay".
Switched back to hybrids this morning and it is TERRIBLE again. All over the place? I ran a mag of hybrid pellets next as a 'control' and they were nearly shooting the same hole as I expected. So not a dirty barrel issue? What are your thoughts on why it just decided to go to crap shooting hybrids again?
