I have since re-zeroed my gun to shoot on zero. I was just using the black circles as a Point of aim. I was interested in seeing how tight the gun would group rather than sighting in.

It was shooting good last nite. Dime sized at 37 yards. Took it out and shot it this morning. POI had dropped 1 1/2 inches low and to the left and groups had opened up to an inch.
I ran a patch ( dampened with Goo Gone) from the breech to the tight spot and a bit past it and then pulled back out. This…Read more

It will still shoot dime sized 37 yard groups. Accuracy MAY have improved a wee bit. Lead is still gathering two inches or so up from the breech. I had just as soon that little “step” NOT be there.
If this is typical for 24 inch Condor barrels to be loose-bored in the narrow part of the barrel,…Read more

It smoothed up my barrel quite a bit, but I wouldn’t have taken such drastic measures if my bore wasn’t leading so quickly in the breech area. Thanksfully, my little firelapping project didnt ruin accuracy. In fact, it tightened up a wee bit.

Seems the most logical.

Dave I believe that this is the answer!

I just got through JB pasting it and then cleaning out all the paste. Bore is spotless. I’ll try slugging it in the manner that you suggested.
With a small patch, on a tight fitting 22 jag, here’s what I feel: The patch enters the breech and goes a couple of inches and then stops (I’m applying moderate…Read more

It was a burr of aluminum hanging at the end of the little slot that the breech knob rides in. A needle file remedied the situation. Back to smooth operation.
On a side note. I went ahead and cleaned the barrel real good. I use cotton patches and Breakfree CLP. There was ALOT…Read more

Got my homemade shooting bench fixed a little better. I walked a Pyramyd Air shipping box out to 110 yards after marking aim points on it. Filled the tank to 2450 and let her rip. Not TOO bad. Had some breeze. I was glad that there was no real issue with verticle dispersion. My velocities are…Read more
