You may want to test a few more types of BB's I try to find the barrel BB combination that groups inside the 9 ring and have had good luck getting even tighter than that 1/2 is almost a maximum group size. Be careful not to get lube in the shot tube can ruin accuracy. Half inches 10 meters not 5 me...

But it is responsibility of the buyer to pay the return shipping per their policy. From the other response to my t...
