A friend called, all upset that his new PCP didn't shoot well at all.
I asked what pellets he tried and he said just some Crosman Hollow Points. So
I told him to bring it over.
A quick test with several different weights of pellets showed that the PCP was factory tuned to 25 grain pellets and the 14 grain Crosmans were way too light.
Two choices to resolve the problem - shoot the 25s or retune to another pellet.
He chose to shoot a couple of tins of the heavy pellets to break the gun in then he would be back and we would tune to a lighter pellet.
So, just a suggestion for that shiny new airgun... try a variety of pellets, choose the best performer for the break-in and revisit the pellet choice when the gun has settled in.
Hope this save someone some stress!
Cheers!
