air arms s410 power loss

[jocky 198]

hi all, it it posable for my s410 to loss power, there does not seen to be any air leaks. but the last 3 weeks it does not seem to be killing the rabbits like it did. hiting them clean in head at about 30 yards but some are just shaking there head and gone.

Has the zero remained the same? With a loss of power, the zero point of the rifle would change. Apparently the S410 isn't regulated, so maybe you've passed the sweet spot of the power curve. Have you kept the rifle topped up with air?

yes zero point still ok, and it is always filled up befor i go out, and never run to low... just a pain at moment got some new grownd with loads of rabbits that he needs clearing.

I dunno then, could be the pellets you're using? If you have access to a chronograph, you could check the rifle power but aside from that, I'm out of ideas

have always used crossman premier ultra magnun, never had problum with them, can hit drawing pin at 30 yards with them.

if your grouping has not changed and your zero then i would assume you do not possess a crono.the only things left are shit or bent pellets or you not judging the wind and cliping rather than clean.a gentle breeze will shift an air rifle pellet no probs.out of curiosity the rabbits have not invested in kevlar helmets and coverd them in furr as this too would cause this problem

As said get a chronograph then you know what your rifle is doing

unless you are really into it before buying bear in mind most good gun shops can crono it for you to see how it performs pellet after pellet

Not enough power / Energy to Kill

If you say they are shaking there head's.. that usualy means a shot to the ear...reset your scope on a calm day and fire a lot of shot's into a small grouping..if you still keep doing it you might not have the rifle mounted or lined up correct.
