This sickness started with a squirrel problem; I bought a Benjamin 397 pumper to rid of these pests because I had one as a kid and it was the envy of my peers as it was so accurate.
Well, I was disappointed in that the 397 just didn't shoot that well, or not nearly as accurate as my previous one.
So, this is where the PCPs came in, that's the sickness part, but that's another story
Back to the point of this post. Today, I shot some 18 grain Neilson slugs through it and wow! I am getting the accuracy I remember getting with my first Benjamin pumper. So, if you are not happy wit your accuracy, give it a shot.
NOTE: I remember that Benjamin required you to use only their pellets back in the day, most likely because they were sized specifically for the barrel. I recall that using Benjamin pellets back then resulted in high accuracy and using Daisy pellets resulted in mostly fliers.
Anyway, try slugs if your accuracy suffers.
