So today I finally got to shoot my new 22 bully for a few hundred shots. I was getting frustrated trying to get the scope dialed in....I'd shoot some pellets and they would group great...then the next group would be terrible. Couldn't understand what was going on...then I figured it out...
2 of the 3 aluminum rotary magazines had nasty burrs on the inside of the little pellet cylinders. I discovered it because a few were so bad that it was hard to push the pellet in. I pushed the pellets out of the mags and the burrs were gouging and deforming the pellets badly
Once I eliminated those 2 magazines and used only the burr-free magazine, the gun shot SUPER accurate. I was easily hitting 1" round stones at 50 yards. I'm going to get a skinny round file to clean up the 2 defective magazines. It's a tiny machining flaw but it apparently makes a huge difference in accuracy.
Other than this issue, I love the gun so far...very powerful and very accurate. I'm actually going to tune it down for less speed and more shots... Mine was shooting barracuda power pellets at around 1090fps. I'm glad rich7777 Suggested this gun over the gladius I was planning on getting. I would recommend getting one BUT look closely at the magazines! And give the burrs a clean-up if they are present.

I am also diving in for a Bully in 22 cal. Can you post some more velocity numbers or shot strings? I am trying to figure out if Bully will be able to handle JSB Beast 34 grain or not.
