Hard to load pellets in barrel

[Skip-in-WV]

Have any of you experienced this problem? What, if anything, did you do the fix it? All of my other rifles pellets fir easily. I have an 22 Airwolf. The pellets are difficult to push into the barrel. It seems like they all fit too tight. Even .219 slugs fit too tight. All of the mechanical functions are perfect without a pellet. I'm getting velocities of about 800fps on High power. Any suggestions are welcome.

Pellet brand?

Fairly new gun? If so, just needs to get "broken in" around your breech.
A few of mine were like that when I got then. After a few tins, much more smooth.

Any pellet. Yes, new gun

As a part of accurizing a chinese rifle that I have, I lapped the barrel. It made closing the bolt quite a bit easier and tightened the groups up as well. I cleaned it thoroughly and used Brasso, but I imagine just about any metal polish would do. All it seemed to do was clean the microscopic burrs from the machining.

Good idea. Never considered doing that

When I shoot 14.3 pellets in my Kratos any Brand they seem like they want to go
in sideways I think it is the Magazine but I have not found another other than
single shot they are such a pain I just jiggle the Mag till it goes

Check the transfer port inside of the breech end of the barrel, it sounds like maybe there is a burr.
Maybe an oversized breech o ring was used ?
