I agree on all said , biggest thing I see at are club with high end PCPs 1500/2k is pellets spend all that and they turn up with the free tin of pellets that came with this riffle
best advice i have seen -- the only thing I can add is don't go all rip the rifle apart looking for fault straight away (easy way to be I may add) leave it till the next session of shooting and have a defined check procedure and do not deviate from it, it is all too easy to try to do too much and end up lost from your start point with a weapon that is behaving worse -- good shooting guys and thanks again gary dam good info
Thanks Gary, I had an issue once with my tx, which randomly started to get bad groups then I noticed my suppressor had loosened after several shots which caused the bad groups. Something to watch out for. 😅
Thanks another good informative video my kral np02 ratter is zero at 17 yds and spot on from 9 yds to 20 yds was to 25 but now shot gunning at 25 i noticed my trigger gone very hard so oiled and loosen it a bit yet to test it but watching your video gives me encouragement that atleast am barking up the right tree 😊thanks garry
Good video Gary, the biggest thing I notice is that people think they have pellets that group in zero wind, and then as soon as there is a breeze of any sort there pellets are like a shotgun group. Grouping at 40 is step one then testing that pellet in the wind is step two. I hear people talking about 2 Mildots of movement in 10mph crosswind that for me means that pellets is crap or you are trying to fire that pellet to fast and it isn’t stable therefore takes more wind.
Advice please. I have had to replace the piston washer in my Express .177 today. It slid into the chamber so free & easy I was sure the power would be low. However, it is knocking out around 820fps and 12 1/2flb with 8.44gr pllets. Is this normal with a new washer and will it calm down once I`ve put a couple of hundred pellets through it ? I don`t want to take it to the range incase I bump in to plod. Great advice Gary, this video should be kept for reference.
I onkly use Iron Sights! My shots resemble a shotgun at times! It is ME!! However....The pivot for the Chamber to the Breech-Block is critical! It seems more critical on my 127 Fienwerk bau!. My 99s goes off till I tighten the pivot. The Fienwickbau has to be tighter!...Warton Lancs LA5
That's just their standard marking for the rifles ones a .177 (4.5mm) and the other is a .22 (5.5mm) the head sizes are dependent on the pellet not the rifle. But a 4.51mm (.177) may group better than 4.52mm head size. Is down to your barrel which it prefers. So you'll need a chronograph and different pellets and head sizes then do some testing on them.

Oh my God, you make me laugh out loud at some of your subtle humour! 😂 thank you so much for your excellent instructional videos!

could be clipping on the silencer if they have one on there take it of and try grouping
i would imagine a change in temp could effect a zero as components expand and contract in summer and winter ?
100% it was on my bloody list and I missed it.
I usually find my rifles don't group due to the idiot pulling the trigger 😂
Enjoyed the vid, thank you
I know the feeling 😁
Aah it's a Pebbs error.
Problem exists behind bloody stock!😂
Absolutely 😅@@OldNavajoTricks

Hi Gary my riffle seems to like two different head sizes can you explain this please
Absolutely, if it does well with 451's and 452's you have a barrel that would love 451.5's
Truth is, some barrels aren't pellet fussy, my TX isn't
@@garychillingworth thanks mine likes 4.50 and 4.52
But not the median .51?
@OldNavajoTricks no like a shotgun with 51 and 53
hi, does 20fps difference on the chrono make a difference to zero.
At short distance up to 20yards not really, but at 45yards it will add around 5cm to the pellet drop
@@garychillingworth Thanks gary i will get the reg serviced
Hi Gary how do you know what pellet head size to chose as both my barrels 177 says 4.50 and 22 says 5.5 no mention of head size at all ...
