Condor SS
I am still having troubles with my condor SS. I Shoot from 2900 to 2500ish. My point of impact changes about 3 times with the same aim point at 15 yards. What is my problem? I haven’t cleaned the barrel yet. All the screws at tight as well as the scope mounts & rings.

What power setting are you on ? A Condor SS shooting those pellets can send them out at lightening speed … over 1100 fps for sure. If you have your power set at zero, lets say your hammer hit may not be consistent because of low hammer spring compression ? Just a thought.
The other thing may be your two bottom tension screws are loose, if they are you may want to just snug them up a bit ….NOT TIGHT just snug, the one nearest the barrel first than the back one.
Just some thoughts.

I always clean the barrel right out of the box. That way you know you start with a clean barrel. Next if you are shooting from 2900 down to 2500 fill it up to 2700 and zero it there. When stock mine had a sweet spot around 2650 also. That is where the max efficiency was. These guns have a bell curve. Meaning at 2900 psi the valve is not opening fully due to high pressure in the tank. This makes your velocity slower and poi different. As pressure decreases to the sweet spot the valve now opens fully giving you maximum velocity. This will have a different poi than at 2900. Then as pressure drops the valve is still opening fully but there just is not enough pressure to keep the velocity up and again changes poi. It will be alot more noticable at longer distances. If you set your zero for the middle of the string instead of one end or the other the gun will start at one poi and comeinto its zero then start to fall off again. The smaller the velocity window the smaller the poi change.
Easy way to fix it. Washer under the tophat. Thicker will drop velocity, thinner will increase it. This will make your gun more efficient and have a smaller velocity window, extreme spread, and make it more accurate.
Is the scope and mount rock solid?
I am shooting the JSB 18.14gr at 888-865 fps. They group good in one spot then totally change point of impact after about 4-5shots?
I have tried several pellets JSB seems to be the best groups. I don’t know if cleaning the barrel would help?
At 15 yards you should have the power wheel as low as you can. The condor is made for long distant shooting and if you have it turned up high the pellets may be all over the place. Also have you tried more then one pellet?

Your condor might be mistuned or too aggressively tuned.
You might be shooting very hot and already on the falling side of the “bell curve”. If so, every shot is eating a lot of psi’s and your pressure is dropping fast.
Before any advice is given you should show us a chrony report so we can have an idea of what is happening.
If everything else is mechanically sound, it is probably a tuning issue.
