Western Airguns Sidewinder. 22 compact

[Nosbigshot]

Anyone having any luck with the Sidewinder. 22 cal compact. I am trying to find a pellet that the gun likes and am not having any luck.

Thanks

Getting a chrony will help a lot. Most likely you are shooting the pellets too fast, pass 950 fps. Get the pellets to shoot 850 to 920 fps. HTH.

I've got a chronograph and have tried speeds from 860 to 920. It will stack 3 or 4 than you'll get a flyer. I have sorted the pellets to eliminate bent skirts. Gun is very consistent with spread of 5 fps.

These hammerless guns likes heavy pellets. Make sure the pellets are not clipping the moderator. Clean the barrel.

Try JTS pellets

The "flyers"...might...not be the body behind the trigger !?
