As I have posted before I have a rifle that I can't get to shoot. I have tried all kinds of pellets not to any positive results. I then saw the vidieo about the Howler pellets. they seem awful heavy for a springer but the gun . I think the gun is stout but I don't know.

The rifle don't shoot but I don't want to mess it up any futher.

Please let me know your thoughts.

Thanks

God bless

Having re read my post I see I did not make clear my question. The rifle in question seems to be real powerful and my thoughts are could the rifle be overpowering the pellets.

I further wonder if the heavy pellets might settle the barrel down to shoot. A tin of pellets would be a small price if it would make my gun shoot well. I have a collection of pellets that don't shoot. I just thought this time I would ask for advice.

Sorry if I was not clear.

God Bless

What pellet rifle,what cal.?OK,Too light of pellets can cause problems....Go heavier and see if that helps.

I have .177 that I wish were .22 because I feel they overpower the rifle,I use heavier pellets in them to calmthem down

Fact, I tune many of my springer for lee power,that way they are easier to shoot for me.

Some pellet rifle do not mind being powerful and have no problems doing so..RWS48-52 are some...

A cheap powerful springer is a can of worms.....try to add weight to it,,,

Bottom line is to try heavier pellets,,,,,good luck and don't give up.

Jungleshooter.

The gun is a Benjamen Rushmore,gas piston. 22 cal. I have shot 14.3 to 18.13gr.pellets. 

The gun looks like new but I got it from a pawn shop. I have cleaned the barrel over and over and I have tried all kinds of way to hold it. I have other springers and have no problem to get them to shoot good.

My shooting is done at 25 yards.

Pellet brands are JSB,H&N,Air Arms,and crossman ,oh Some Pretty Good brand pellets.

Group size........Well I an not able to answer this. At 25yards I might be able to hit a barn door fairly regular. All jokes aside I am having a good day when I can put 5 shots in three inches .

Thanks for you reply

God Bless

Bobby, 😊

that sounds like a pretty frustrating experience —

using the best pellets money can buy,

in very appropriate weights (14-18gr),

using different holds and knowing how to shoot springers from your other guns,

at only 25y range, 

yet all you can hit is a barn door (or something way too large to be considered a bull's-eye). 😟



Bobby, either

▪the scope is messed up (try to shoot it with open sights),

▪the stock screws are loose,

▪or the gun is either broken internally (and for advice on springers I recommend www.GatewayToAirguns.org).



I'm sorry I don't have any better advice! 😟

God bless you,

Matthias
