One problem i found with an auto was the tendacey to rush the first shot "in case you need a second" Take a look at the " BEST " target rifles what are they ,,,,,,,, Bolt, ( or falling block). Horses for coarses, autos for fun bolt for killing

Id look for a rough spot around the extractor cut out,, a fraze around the the guild pin hole or a scuffed edge, if its sticking in that hard sounds as if the cartridge head is the problem site look for marks on the head and relate that to the chamber,, it may well only need a flick with a stanley knife

Hello Gloop, Yes the shotload dont matter much its the case length,,,,, but 21/22g loads youd be better off with a 20bore, with such a low pellet count the 20 would give better patterns and be lighter to carry

Maybe so, but ive never had a prob until i changed loads,, and at £325 new its a throw away job, ive worked mine hard over the last couple of seasons, so if i get a couple more its erned its keep, ive saved more than that in poss damage to my coggeys, to have a top grade stock refinished to match it brother would cost a lot more then £325.. and tell me how many pigeon bashers havent bashed knocked or even dropped a gun,,,,,, so scratched a hatsan so what ,,, scratched a Coggey,,, lotsacash

i think its the 3" chamber that does it the bolt has so far to travel, and the spent case becomes a piston to drive it, so a 65mm will bleed off gas long before a 70mm or 75mm. Think im gona try playing around with recoil spring rates, as i seldom use 3" i dont need a spring rate that will handle 3" all the time,,, lighter spring the faster the bolt will travel back and the less engery it needs to reach the sear

Hello All,
Just thought id pass on the findings of some tests i did on a Hatsan Escort.
Ive used mine for 18 months now and it never missed a beat, until i changed ammo. I had been useing 30g loads by Eley. I changed to 29g loads by Lyalvale,,,Yep they wouldnt feed.
This happened while i was with a mate who gave me a box of winchester 32gs they worked fine, so thinking id bought a load of duff stuff i thought id break one open and have a look at its guts.
To cut a long storey short i reloaded a few with the same primers same powder and same shot, however the only cases i had were 70mm and not 65mm like the Lyalvale, so added a 5mm filler wad,,
They worked perfectly, so i tried a 28g load worked again, then i got realy silly and tried a 26g load, this to worked perfectly. ( all in 70mm cases ).
I called the shot i bought the gun from and told them the tale, the answer i got back was " Escorts dont like short cases, they leave the chamber before the bolt is fully cocked",, their gunsmiths words were " I bet when it jammed you had to pull the bolt back just a little then it would feed yes" he was right if i pull the bolt about ( 5mm) it fed fine.
Conclusion,,,,, Escorst arnt load picky but are case picky,,,, if youve had feed probs with an Escort try 70mm cases before you slag off the gun.
Ps, Anyone selling a Lee Load All in 12g as i have tooooo many to reload by hand

I been wondering the same thing

As for shooting in and cleaning,,, clean before shooting and DRY dont leave oil or solvent in the bore,,, fire 2 or 3 then a wipe out, wipe again after 20/25 then leave it alone,,,,,, if you clean them too much every First shot is in a cold bore, r/fs are like cast lead pistol bullets and do leave a trace of lub in the bore,,, this is good stops it rusting and every shot is from the same bore. Stinger,,, after using stinger i do scrub the bore,,, stingers have a copper coat on them that will in time foul the bore, its not a jacket like c/fs but more like copper plateing so does rub off in the barrel.
I always found Stingers to be some what inconsistant,,,, Remington yellow jackets are far better
