HELP!!! hw100 lost accuracy

[flukeyluke]

After deciding i cant part with the hw100 yet i took her out earlier for a mooch,started off checking zero on targets and its shooting all over the place???? i dont think its clipping anywhere,do you think the barrel may need a clean??? and will this sort it??

Thanks luke

Probably the best place to start. Clean out the barrel then shoot some more. Also try shooting into something soft like water or rags and seeing if the bullet is deformed.

Are you using a proven pellet that you have used in the past with good results, or are you trying a new pellet type?

Check your barrel is not loose, i had this problem a while ago, it was spinning under a small about of pressure, nipped it up and its now bang on!!

[flukeyluke]

it has been shooting bang on with accupells,changed over to rws superdomes at the club one day about 2 months ago,stuck it in the cabinet untill today and its shooting irratic,sometimes a pellet will hit spot on,then another,then one low,then one right etc.

Groups sometimes but not consistant at all???? the rifle is around 22 months old and its never had the barrel cleaned.

Edit: just checked and barrel is not loose

Thanks for the replies

Have you run it over a Chrono to see if its consistent? ..... try and eliminate a few things

[flukeyluke]

When I first had my HW100 it was spot on using AA fields or Jsb's, tried some superdomes and it ruined the accuracy even after going back to the AA's. Cleaned the barrel with a pull through and it came back after 30 pellets or so. Still got the superdomes somewhere

Sounds like this is whats happened to me,was spot on before i used the superdomes and now all over the place even with the accupells,ill try cleaning the barrel and putting a few more pellets through her,thanks for the replies
