Leshiy Classic .177 accuracy help

[Feinwerk]

Okay, it's a start. Looks like the barrel is oriented properly. Scratch that one off the list.

I can’t help you until you have a chronograph

I highly recommend this one, Chrono-R2H, got one for 128.10 EUR (its about same amount in $) at airgunheaven, no extra light needed, never fail to detect a pellet

Is this the best chronograph you can get - LMBR [review]

Shooting the 10.5 premiere (piranhas) in mine at 900fps out to about 68 yards. I take out pigeons with ease. Sure, I go for the soft spots and head. Those wings are basically armor against a .177 at that range. Oh, and this is with the 250mm barrel.

Yesterday I tried the JSB 10.34 and the H&N 10.65. They both shot well with no apparent spiraling. I dialed in the scope with the JSB at 35 yards. I shot using a front bag only. The JSB grouped ok – about 15 or 16 shots at the target. Then I shot H&N Baracudas – 17 shots at the target. I’m happy with the way they grouped. Seemed to be more consistent overall.

When loading, the JSB fit easily into the barrel with little effort to get them fully seated. The H&N are a little tighter, but don’t require too much to push them in all the way. However, the Crossman CPs fit tightly and do require some effort to get them in all the way.

Of course, I’ll empty both of these tins. But for now I think the edge goes to H&N and they’ll probably be my choice. At least it wasn’t too painful find ammo that shoots straight. Thanks again for all the helpful suggestions.

I was having consistent accuracy problems with my 350 .22 Leshiy 2. Sister problem was a lower velocity at specified regulator pressure. For example at 130 bar, it was shooting 18.1 grain at 850fps, instead of advertised 915. To get to 915 I had to crank the regulator to 150bar. I was loosing confidence in my shooting skills, blaming barrel, magazines, wind, whatever…

When i took it apart, i found that it came with two 1.4 jet nozzles. By guess, I replaced one of them with 0.4 to make it 1.4+0.4 combo.

The result took me by a pleasant surprise, whatever happened, it stabilized pellets and now it is shooting like laser at 960fps with 135bar on a reg. It does so shot after shot, i don’t even pay attention to sitting pellets in a magazine, just throw them in and good to go!
Also, I am running a behemoth with reflex shroud, and it didn’t get any louder with tune shooting 960, it sounds same as 850 before.

Gun has a 300cc bottle and is consuming around 2.5 bar per shot.

Better to post this in the Leshiy 2 thread, but anyway, the jets from factory should have been two 1.2 nozzles

mine came as such and did 922 fps / 281 m/sec with same JSB 18.1 grain heavy's with the reg as came from factory, do not have a reg tester but seems to fall of reg at 120 bar

Get chrono, try to lower the velocity if there are spirals…
