I thought I knew what I was doing when I added a bbl band to my shrouded bbl Benjamin Akela 177 rifle for stability, it seemed to scream for one with soo much bbl flex. I haven’t shot it nearly enough to make a judgment, but early in this process to blame the loss of accuracy to the bbl band seems possible. It doesn’t take a PHD to guess that going from an moa @55yds for the first test in Dec, to a 5”spread in the second test in Feb after adding the bbl band and polishing the bore that it doesn’t like something I did. I wouldn’t think harmonics would be that sensitive with a shrouded bbl and will retest by sliding the band to different locations and then eliminate it. My non shrouded Cayden 22 has a factory installed bbl band and is sub moa.
Before jumping through all the whoops to figure this out I would like to ask others about their experiences when adding bbl. bands to your PCP rifles. Yet to come is a test for a Diana Stormrider that I also added a bbl band to but have yet to test (waiting for parts).
