Springer shooters - pellet seating.

[LuckOrJudgement 437]

Do any of you with springers routinely use a tool to seat pellets in the breech?

I've started seating on every shot and have noticed a definite tightening of the groupings. Or is this just my imagination?

I should add that up to now I'd always been a 'thumber'.

never done it but I make sure the pellets not damaged in any way and do it gently. 

recon it maybe acts like a placebo using a probe!

hats off to you if your groups have improved

Yeah man, I used one for me 98 when I was using Trophies and Barra's. Decent little tool really, but I didn't notice any tighter groups to be fair.

No tighter than Fields at the minute and there an absolute fit.
