bigmac 97kt 13,824 Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 I think gamerooster would no if it was a bad batch of pellets ie bent skirts or damaged heads but the old style mag has a lot of issues one being the O rings and the indexing pin some times damages the pellet when pushing it into the barrel but its not the pin its the mags O rings as some of the pellets are to tight or loose as the o rings wear and thin out in places and the pellets dont sit right in them the new one dose away with all of this in the old mag its the O ring that holds the pellet in place , one of the ways to check this is to hold the mag by your finger and thumb and load it up if some of them fall thru then the O rings are fecked But hey dont take my word for it go ask your gun smith atvbmac :thumbs: 1 Quote Link to post

villaman 9,982 Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Best is put a pull through it first to clean the barrel ,then see what it is like if its the same try different pellets ,if still no good put it through a chronograph and see what FPS it is doing ,Then come back to us and tell us what you have found , it could be even the crown Only saying like 1 Quote Link to post
gamerooster 1,179 Posted November 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Some of the pellets are falling threw, just fired 30 shots and the 3rd and 7th pellet are dead on, the rest are slightly off, so hoping it's the mag 2 Quote Link to post

vizlauk 1,568 Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Check the mag and see if both the orings are in good order if 1 is snapped it will be fouling the pellet on loading 1 Quote Link to post
airtech 39 Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 most of the R10s like larger head dia pellets if its a .177 then use 4.52 head size. try air arms diabolo express or jsb. the older mag is not good the pellets seem to jump backwards. this makes the bolt hard to push the pellet into bore of rifle so you can guarrantee it will not shoot the same as the first pellet. what i have done in the past with rifles that come in to me for work is cut another o ring groove in the rotor of the mag this solves the problems with older mags. for some reason the .22 does not have so many mag issues. 2 Quote Link to post
