PUSHED a pellet

The suspect thing I see is in the photo that also has your ring in it, the land mark doesn’t look similar to all the other land marks. It could just be an artifact from trying to photograph such a small object of that size

Hi,
Just for your comparison I pushed JSB 16.2 gr. Beast through two different .177 / 700 mm FX Superior Heavy liners some month ago.
Its clearly to see that A FX liner is a totally other barrel concept. Img. 1 is showing a pellet from the tin and after being reshaped by the liner.
When looking at the pushed through Beast - You can tell it likes speed - I shoot them at 1020 fps in my redwolf with excellent accuracy out to about 100 yards.
I tried earlier also pushing a JSB beast .177 through my Avenger barrel and that looks similar to your result. But thoughtful is how much the FX liner transforms the pellet into looking more like a slug. (Both FX liners shoots perfect both when shooting pellets and slugs - Especially ZAN 13 - 16 and 20 gr.)
I agree interesting to see a JSB Beast through more different rifles / Barrels....
Best regards

I think….most of the marks were done just getting into and through the bore.
To me, the marks look quite deep on the head.

my huben leaves very shallow lands and grooves on the pellet as well. i’m thinking it looks a lot like micro rifling

I really appreciate you taking the time to share these photos. Definitely helpful to see others.

I'll need to push a pellet through my Hatsan to compare, but it looks okay to me. Each barrel profile is unique and wouldn't expect perfect grooves from rifling when a pellet goes through it. I'll see if I can get this experiment done tomorrow and post some pics here. But again, rifling is there and it's a good thing

not referring to this image bro. lol i was referring to engfreds image. you can barely see the lands and grooves. my huben does the same. the image of the thread owners are indeed deep land grooves.

How did the pellet feel going thru the barrel ? loose in spots, tight all the way, choke, the grooves look like a tight choke

i dont think the barrel has a choke. just a really deep rifling grooves. looks similar to my crosman barrel when i slugged it out of curiosity a while back except my crosman didnt rough it up this much.

Groves do look deep to me, but outside of FX barrels i only know of CZ barrels, but even the one on my Vulcan 3 as i recall did not gouge out that deep groves in the pellet.
I can share a .177 beast pushed thru my CZub barrel on the Two later, i have a few family things to do first.
MACRO photography have a tendency to mess with your perception, also from my dashcam hobby over the years i have lost count on how many people that have discarded a camera when shopping due to it looking extremely large in sales pictures.

It’s HARD to load a pellet. Impossible for any weight slug as they don’t squish like a pellet. You can’t fully seat a king heavy unless I use as seating pin. And it’s still tough.
Once the pellet gets through the super tight breech, the barrel is a snug fit 90% of the way through the barrel. A slightly loser place . The choke is tight. But NOTHING like the breech.
I did put a crown on the breech since this test. That makes it much better to seat a pellet. But I’m thinking the breech needs polished down some.

A pellet shouldn’t be very hard to seat in the chamber. Have you inspected the leade transition to insure it’s free of burrs?

Just re-read you have started addressing this,
