Last weekend, i was shooting my encore. I was using 2 T7 pellets. My target was about 30 yards away. (sighting in for my black bear bait station). I would get two good shots in, then the 3rd would go wild. Missing a 3footX4foot piece of wood at that distance. there didnt seem to be a paticular order that this happened in, but seemed to be worse with bore sized lead bullets.
I just learned that pressing down to hard on the pellets in the gun can cause erratic shots, but missing a piece of 3x4 plywood at 30 yards? And I was swabbing with water between shots.
Next, My breech plug seizes up bad. I am using cva breech plug lube. I also just learned to also put that stuff on the internal threads as well. Out in the field I put some on the forward end of the plug past the threads, wich seemed to help some.
Any more tips or thoughts?
