EDgun Matador is the #1 PCP in the world…
EDIT: This was not a gun problem after all… It was a problem with my adjustable magnification scopes… All 3 scope (Leapers 8-32X56, Nikko Stirling Diamond 10-50X60, and Leapers 4-12X40) were losing their zero and shifting the Point Of Impact every time I moved the magnification adjustment wheel from the lowest setting to the highest setting and back again to the lowest setting…
Eduard, here are some 65yd groups I shot this morning…. It seems that
sometimes it is a laser shooting 3-5 shots on top of each other and then shots
start to fly everywhere… I cleaned the barrel very carefully and shot some 100
shots before shooting these groups… The wind was absolutely zero… My
Combro is on the blink so I could not get any FPS information…. This gun has
well over 10,000 rounds through it. It does not make a difference what
the psi is in the gun and I removed the shroud/mod to make sure it was not
causing any problems. (See group on bottom left that says “No mod”)
I also pulled out my Rapid to make sure that it was not the conditions.. The
Rapid shot a 10 shot sub 1″ group at 80yds. The EDgun shot 2 sub 3″
groups so I know it was not the wind nor the shooter causing the wild
flyers…. I ordered a new Chrony this morning so I should have FPS info
next week….

beware of different batches of the same type of pellet…
anyway until you can verify velocities over a chrony there is no point in speculating further.
I have always used JSB 18.1gr… I shot the rest of one tin yesterday under
windy conditions with the same results… That is why I decided to do some
testing this morning when the conditions were perfect. These groups are from
a new tin. The Rapid had no problem with them so the pellets are good.
did you perhaps switch pellets or get a new batch?

Try to chrony to find out the pellet speed.

Well, just to get another reference, I just shot 1 X 10 shot group and 1 X
5 shot group with JSB 15.9gr. The first was about 1.3″ @ 65 and the
second was about .97″ with 3 shots touching and 2 fliers. Seemed to be
working fairly well so I increase the hammer spring to get the 18.1gr
shooting faster. I then switched back to 18.1gr and shot 2 fliers and then
a .5″ group. After that the groups would open back up then get tight
again…. Something is not consistent… I also replaced the probe orings
to make sure it was not loosing any power….I will have to wait for the
chrony to see if my FPS is erratic…
All shots not designated are JSB 18.1gr
