Scope is not in yet so I used what was available. A Bushnell elite 4200 2.5-10x40 non AO. :(
Got it sighted in at 10 yards and did a few groups at 2.5x while sitting on the floor using a kitchen chair for a rest since I cant really shoot outside.
All are 5 shot groups at 10 yards. Squares are 1/2".
Crosman 14.3 gr wadcutters:
JSB Jumbo exact, 15.9 gr, 5.52
JSB jumbo express 14.3 gr
UPDATE:
The possible dangerous cocking issue seems to have smoothed out quite a bit as parts have broken in and smoothed down. It is still possible at this point as it seems as if the sear only partially catches on a tiny little lip.
You can pull it back to that point now and it will just make a small clicking noise if the lever is released but will sometimes stick. I feel it could be gotten rid of completely if one was to polish things by hand.
Pellet/Magazine compatability for .22 caliber
The .22 magazine will hold 14 pellets while the .177 magazine will hold 17 pellets.
Due to the magazine being quite tight an me having to open it up a bit for proper operation I will only be commenting on what pellets fit lengthwise and actually operate i the magazine.
The following work well with no problems unless noted:
JSB Jumbo RS 13.43 gr.
JSB Exact Express 14.3 gr.
JSB Jumbo 15.9 gr.
JSB Jumbo Heavy 18.1 gr.
JSB Monster 25.4 gr. This pellet is quite heavy and caused the magazine to "slow down" As long as you are not lightning fast on reloads there should be no problems.
Crosman Premier HP 14.3 gr.
Crosman Ultramag 14.3 gr.
Crosman Wadcutter 14.3 gr.
Daisy Wadcutter 14.3 gr.
H&N FTT 14.66 gr.
H&N HP 12.65 gr.
H&N Baracuda Green 12.65 gr. (non lead pellet)
RWS Meisterkugeln 14.0 gr.
And last but not least,
Predator Polymags 16.0 gr. These actually fit into the magazine and work flawlessly.
As a side note, this is the first time I have tried the polymags and even in my sub 500 fps gun they seem to expand quite well.
Well long story short there were a few problems with this rifle, one of them being a non pal rifle shot jsb 15.9s at around 585 FPS or so when turned up 1 turn and 14.3s at 510 fps when all the way down. It has been sent back after some grief and they are supposedly checking it out to see why it was shooting so hot.
There will be no more updates to this thread.
