Temperature effect???

I have a 10 meter range in my basement and that is where all my equipment is stored. The temperature is 55 degrees F and 50% humidity. I have several 10 meter springers, SSP and PCP. I have one SSP (Steyr LG 10) that shoots poorly with a wide spread and no more than 500 fps. (8.2 g pellets) However,...

Re: S & W 78G ragged holes

Rover had a reply about power so I found out that the power is adjustable on this pistol. I dialed the power up and now the holes are perfect. The pistol does chrony around 400 fps with 12.4 g pellets.

Thanks to everyone...

Re: S & W 78G ragged holes

Thanks for all the replies.

BUT all my other air rifles and air pistols leave perfect round holes on all the paper targets I use.

Only the .22 78g S&W leaves ragged holes.

So I think it is the pistol...pointed pellets work fine.

Other ideas?

S & W 78G ragged holes

I have a S & W .22 cal 78g and it leaves ragged holes on the target using wadcutters. Pointed pellets work fine.

Any ideas why?

Thanks

Sticky trigger

On my FWB 602, the trigger is "sticky" or it is not as free of other FWB 600 series rifles. In other words, the trigger takes longer to return to the proper firing position. I think the trigger slack weight and trigger point weight are adjusted correctly.

Any ideas?

Steyr LP-10 EVO 10E not working.

My EVO 10E will not shoot properly. I am sure the trigger is on and charged. The air cylinder is filled.

After cocking, I press the trigger and it clinks like dry fire but no air. If I pull the trigger again without recharging, it shoots.

An ideas?

Thanks

Grip fit

I just purchased my first 10 meter air pistol, a used Steyr LP-10 with a medium grip. My question is how tight should my hand feel in the grip. It is a "snug" fit but not uncomfortable. The little finger is a little overlapped by the next finger. In other words, do I need a large grip? Tha...
