Ready to toss my new Condor in the trash
Using Condor w/ 24″ .22 barrel
Power Wheel @ 0-0
Shooting Crossman Premier .22 Cal 14.3 grain Domed Pellets
At 20 yards it is DEAD NUTS ON. One tiny, ragged hole. Very happy there.
At 50 yards it is ALL OVER THE PLACE.
We’re talking about a 6″ spread, mostly in a horizontal fashion, but with vertical variation as well.
Some of the tares at 50 yards looks as if the pellets hit side ways, giving a large “sideways” looking pellet hole.
The only thing that makes sense is unstable pellet flight due to a too powerful Condor and an underweight pellet.
I have shot with the power wheel on higher settings and have seen no improvements.
This is the only pellet I have at the moment. Will be trying others shortly.
What else could be going on here? Please help if you can!

No, no, toss the pellets in the trash dude, not your lovely Condor. The pellets you are using are too light, plus your barrel might just not like them. Buy JSB 18grains. The general consensus is they are best. I also have the 24 inch 22 cal and I get best accuracy from the JSB 18 grain and I’ve experimented with a fair few. They are readily available and great value.
Enjoy your Condor. :fishinghole:

Thanks Chrissyboy,
I was considering those and the Polymags for further testing. I could not believe the spread at 50 yards… If other pellets don’t deliver then I’ll mail this thing to you for free!!!!! Or return it to AF…
Talk about frustration. My whole body is aching from the amount of pumping I’ve done trying to get this thing right.
