    I did wonder about that trick David but to be honest I would prefer to find a pellet that shoots straight before adding any lube. The selection of pellets locally is very poor meaning you have to send away for so many types, god knows why. Phil

    Totally agree and I will have to bite the bullet and get a selection in when I have finished my bloody decorating, who said I would have loads of spare time when I am retired !!!!!!!!!! My local RFD has a few opened tins for range testing guns so they will be the first to try which saves a bit of cash. God I sound so fecking tight, holiday to pay for in two weeks time, I need a lottery win or a bit of one will do fine or get the wife to do an extra little part time job.......................12 hour shifts down the pit Phil

    Cheers Mac, I will get some different pellets to try. Deker the over powered situation is not my rifle but an identical situation shown on the vid link with 'Teds Holdover' which was an over powered HW .177 FAC and was given as an illustration to the pellet flight path, not the same problem, I see the confusion as we were talking about the same link on another thread so perhaps it seemed to be offered as THE problem but that was not the case here.

    Which brocock did you buy the good lady then Phil. Sorry John, missed your question. It is a s/h Contour with a Leaper Bug Buster scope making an extremely light outfit, I thought if she didn't use it much, it will do for my grandson when he is old enough. Phil

    I think free standing is blooooomin hard for anyone (except maybe Viz) but with your condition it must be a hell of lot harder Renos. Well done you. I find myself taking most of my hunting shots free standing, not because I want to but the rabbit or pigeon has gone by the time I manage to get down to kneel and then hope there is a good branch to get back up again, perhaps why I miss a lot...................... Keep at it Renos. Phil

    Very clever John, like that. Phil

    Si, you KNOW what you want mate and it comes from FX so don't bother debating. You KNOW it makes sense.................... Phil

    Not tried 5.51 Deker and to be honest, I am not a lover of AA Fields it was simply a case that the RFD chucked a couple of tins of 5.52 in on the deal for my other half. I was not bothered as I was not using the gun, my wife is. What part are you confused about Deker, I am an East Coast boy so perhaps my description of the issue was not very clear..........sorry. Phil

    Yes I have to do that and I am taking off the mod just in case I am getting interference / clipping although I doubt it as it is almost silent and I think you would hear a clicking sound. I was going buy some FAP but at this moment, until I establish what the cause is, I don't want to splash on tins upon tins of pellets as the AA Field may not be the issue. Could anyone send me a handful of .22 FAP to test please. Phil Phil

    That is a shame Si. Phil

    I guessed that was the vid you were talking about mate. But what about my pellet issue boys, come on Mac, Mitch, Simon, David, Mark and any other boffins..........................ideas ideas ideas boys. I should say the gun has been chrono checked at 11.6fps on two machines Phil
  17. philpot
    Exactly as that Jonnie and that is also the subject that Mark referred to in another thread. Phil
  18. philpot
    Perhaps your new love is all conquering mate and no thought of the poor old HW100 Phil

    Are you going to tell then Mitch, how do you get over the problem Phil

    I tried out my wife's Brocock .22 with the red lamp last week, nothing doing but just thought I would have one or two shots under red light to see how accurate the gun and myself was. I saw the pellet over a 40mt (ish) was spiraling rather than a straight path. A few more shots, all the same which would explain why the flyers on the range. I popped into the RFD today and asked him and an old chap, well in his eighties said 'head size mate'. if the head is loose, it will spiral, then he and his dog left, he is said to be a bit of a guru with air guns and everything to do with them so I take i

    The gusts are extreme over here mark, I was going to take my wife's Brocock out for a play today but far to windy. Just read that back, it sounds a bit naughty Phil

    Just had a look Tom, they are a hansome rifle but in the photo's they look very long or perhaps it is the fore stock that makes it look long, very nice mate, very nice indeed. Phil
  23. philpot
    Good info Tom, which FAC rifle do you have. Phil
  24. philpot
    Wise words Mark, both would be nice though. Phil

    There seems to be plenty of rabbits in my part of the world and interestingly mostly during the day including early morning. I am seeing very few at night, perhaps foxes of which there are very many. In our village alone my pal took the rifle for a wonder last week and shot four in one night. He said that there were plenty that were out of range so perhaps we have a fox issue over here not a rabbit problem however talking to a guy in the gun shop on Saturday who drives a combine harvester for an agency said he had been asked by three farmers to come back and shoot the rabbits as they were givi
