New HW30s at UPS and being delivered today. (From Krale). I have read a lot here at Airgun Nation and I see "Dieseling" mentioned. Some say it's no problem and others say to clean the barrel before I shoot it the first time. If it occurs is it a puff of white smoke coming out of the muzzle as you shoot the rifle? Thanks .
Other Dieseling ?
- Thread starter Tarheel

Sandbag. I've used the same setup for a number of other rifles. All of my .177 rifles will shoot one hole with 10 shots.Well are you shooting rested or free hand / standing? With the r9 my freehand standing is maybe 1" at 10mm group on a good day
Poor results
R9 at 30 yard on stock irons with cphp.177. i need to work on my hold and squinting and narrow down the fliers. ... Oh well...www.airgunnation.com

I did some more shooting this afternoon and I think I may have found part of the solution. The first targets I shot, I laid the gun forward on the sandbag with fairly light pressure on my shoulder. This thing recoils like a .300 Win Mag. Then I moved it forward on the bag and held it tightly on my shoulder. Group size was cut in half.

Maybe your .177s have a smoother shot cycle than the 19ftlb HW95? Maybe you just need to get used to that?
Just thinking out loud

I had another R9 (same gun) that was nothing like this one along with HW97 and TX200. This one shoots 15 fpe.
