So what to do with internet information and a desire to see this gun shoot better that it did with the Sheridan pellets . . .
Jump on the net and put in an order
Needing some Air Arms 16s for another airgun, it seemed 4 different pellets would be the charm.
H&N Baracuda 13.27
H&N field Target Trophy 11.42
JSB Exact Diablo 13.73
AND
That is the order they performed in a VERY limited close up test with 10 pumps.
Reading a bit on the airgun, I may need to drop back to 8 pump strokes.
If the groups were measured and all of that math applied it would be interesting if the groups were that different.
FAR better than the Sheridan pellets anyway.
As old as this airgun is, I wonder if it would improve with a full rebuild/seals.
Leather or synthetic piston seal? What if anything to lube it with if not leather?
Silicone acceptable?
Not even sure how to determine the manufacture date.
Best be looking for a Sheridan specific site I can see . . .
