Brocock loading issue

Bubbacop · Jun 13, 2016

Hello I'm new to pcp and my Brocok contour 6 is my first pcp rifle which I bought used a month ago. The issues I'm having with the gun is that most times it's hard to close the bolt to feed a pellet and when that happens the shot is a flyer about 1 inches from point of aim at 15 yards. Now sometimes the bolt closes effortless usually the first shot and the gun is very accurate. I've tried several types of pellets with negative results, also a couple of members suggested chamfering the magazine and cleaning up the sharp edges which I've done and still haven't gotten much improvement.
I bought three new mags and have a total of five and they all act the same way.

Thanks in in advance for your help

I have a Brocock Contour XL S6 in .22 with the exact same issue. I took it apart, found nothing that looked wrong, didn't change anything, cleaned it, put it back together and it has worked perfectly for 1,000's of rounds. I suspect I had some contamination in there.

AOA is an option also.

Does it act the same way if you try it with empty magazines?

Yes , but it did not do it all the time, very frustrating.

I was intimidated at the thought of taking my pcp gun apart, but it turned out to be a very simple device and has worked great since the reassembly, and I had no parts left over!

Thanks for your response.
My rifle works fine with empty mags it cycles the mag no problem.
The issue too is that when the pellet is partially into the breech and it just won't go in I then have to then use a cleaning rod to push pellet back into the mag to be able to remove mag from rifle. I also tried pushing bolt with my thumb from the rear of the bolt thinking that maybe using the bolt handle was miss aligning the bolt and not pushing pellet in straight but it didn't help. As far as the flyers go from a forced reload I wonder if it's from deforming the pellet skirt from the bolt face. I don't know

thanks again

Have you tried different brands of pellets? Probably a dumb question, but I had to ask.
My Contour will not easily load the first pellet occasionally. I figure it is just me not getting the magazine in the correct placement from time to time.

Hi yes I've tried several types of pellets and also lightly oiled the bolt to see if that would help, it didn't

I just discovered that I blew out the breech seal and was possibly contributing to the lack of accuracy.
This is my first pcp gun and it hasn't been fun yet.
