Coney 3 Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Out on a shoot today with a couple of the lads one of them is shooting a reasonably new BSA Multi-shot, I noticed after he loaded the magazine and inserted it into the gun and took a few shots some of the pellets in the mag were not engaging and the rifle was simply shooting air. I asked him how often this happens and he replied "quite often" also he said it was particulary annoying when zeroing in on quarry simply to "spook it" with a blast of air. This must of happened at least x3 times while we were out, I asked him if he thought the pellets were causing this problem but he was not sure. I said I would log on to THL tonight and ask the following, does anybody own a BSA Multi-shot and if so are you experiancing similar problems, what can he do to solve this problem, if it is a pellet problem which are the best pellets to use for this type of gun. He would be very grateful for any help so come on and help a fellow airgunner with his problem I know someone out there will be able to help. Many thanks Coney. PS : The noise from it when this happens makes it sound like a rimfire and its driving the rest of us mad!!!!!!! Quote Link to post

oxo 385 Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 I have a Ultra too, it skips pellets regularly using Accupells, much better using AA field in mine. on the BSA forum there is a step by step guide to stripping and lubing the mags that might help as well. regards Quote Link to post
