So I get my new scope in and to kick her off in the right direction I decide to treat my little mini to new seals and new piston spring and a good thorough cleaning ..Well like the genius that I am , I didn't think about how it would affect the tune of the gun . Before I monkeyed with the gun it shot the 10.34 the best by far ...
Well guess what ??!!! Now it shoots two totally different pellets best . It's the kind of thing that'll make a dedicated springer shooter drink hard liquor . I'm not saying we need an excuse :) But if we do its as good as any !!!

Ya know after screwing around with these guns for a while now you would think I would actually learn something .
All groups are 10 shots at 25m
 
Were those boxed crosmans the 7.9's or 10.5's? They do tend to fit most bores rather snug and with the high antimony content they are much harder than jsb's or h&n's. Some guns shoot them extremely well and others don't?

I had some old 7.9's that were absolute magic in almost anything I shot them in. I managed to keep that box only for special occasions for years. Have never found another box that shoots as good. I don't think the newer boxed premiers are nearly as good as they used to be. However, the newer pellets I have bought have shot well out of my pcp's but not as good in any of my springers.

Makes me wonder if they shoot better in a pcp vs a springer because most springers don't have any type of leade cut into the breech end of the barrel were as a pcp does and could be a factor? Just a thought?

It was 7.9 crosmans . A guy who had read I'd never tried any brought them to to Texas AirGun show for me to try . They worked really well out of another gun but not mine as much . Got two more guns headed this way , gonna try them in those .
I hate the way my new weaver adapter base looks on my gun but it's really nice looking at that little dot and when the gun fries there's a pellet hole in same spot . Th floating dot is almost exactly the same size as a 177 pellet at 25m.

My gun far and away prefers the jsb 7.3 if there is a better one
unaware of it. Being an idiot I did what dumbasses do, I tried
freezing and heating up pellets. Out of my gun the frozen shot
about like room temp ones, but the hot ones shot incredible.
Have done it multiple times over a two week period so I know
its real ( not some anomaly, or my imagination) been less than
ideal conditions but the room temp's groups average about 3/4
to 1 inch ( conditions ) but the hot ones are averaging Much
much better all groups under 1/2. Has any one else done this?
Its a royal pain trying to keep pellets hot, been using charcoal
bricks and hot plate. Its still just a theory but by using expansion
and or contraction you should be able to improve on any pellet
that is less than perfect. ( sorry all groups tested at 30 yds 10 shot)
Am total moron on computer cant paste, post, or print much
less all three. No pic's possible. 
Need you guys to do same. heat and freeze your guns favorite
and see what happens. (Gun was 300 mini but in theory should
not matter make or model) Oddly am seeing no shift in point of
impact only reduction of group size?
