Want Some Cheese with that Whine?

Don't worry, I have thick skin. Ever feel like you are chasing an 8mm circle with a gun that shoots 9mm groups? My inexpensive rifle sure has been and at only 10 meters. I have some things in the works to try and tighten it up, but it sure can get frustrating. I'd hate to see what kind of group it would shoot if I had a 25 meter range :eek:

Anyway back to the normally scheduled program. :)

What kinda gun is it? Maybe a different brand and or type of ammo could help?
 
It is a Hammerli 850. I've got some more pellets headed my way. I have an old box of creedmoor Match Pellets made by Vogel in 4.49mm that would shoot nicely, sometimes even all 10's. Then I can hear the change in the rifle when the CO2 pressure is slightly off on a shot and that is the shot that hits the 8 ring. I'll solve the pressure as my first mod on the rifle and chrony it before moving on to other variables.

I was just whining to put out some humor since I know others go through the same frustration.
