crow magnums hitting sideways???
still tinkering with my new condor, was shooting the other day with some crossman premiers, and some new beeman crow mags, I decided to try a ‘expansion” test into some bars of soap at about 25 yards, the crossmans zipped right through, but I was having trouble with the crow mags hitting, and when I finally got one on target it had hit the soap sideways. I’m shooting on CO2 ( until I get my shroud) could the sideways hits and bad accuracy be from the lower velocity of the CO2? I thought during several shots I could see the pellet fly through my view through the scope, also, what if anything should I lube my pellets with
thanks guys, this site rocks

Soap is slippery, and maybe hit at an angle.
At 25 yards the pellet should still be straight. Crow mags work well with LW barrels. Was the pellet deformed(flattened) on one side or did it come to rest sideways in the soap? The soap may have varying density causing a drift during impact.
Yes, it is possible to view the pellets in flight through the scope.
Yep, they do that in some barrels.

I should have taken a pic, but it looked like it hit sideways, it wasnt very deep into the soap, prolly just below the surface level, whereas the crossman zipped right through,
so should I lube the pellets too?
man just finished reading a bunch of posts about shrouds, seeing as I ordered one form gtbj, man I cant wait to get mine and shoot it
