cooter Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 I use a CZ style, which has a plastic stock, and it used to touch but it floats now, not that it made any difference. On the ammo, I did have a bad batch of Eley subs, which gave at least one flier every ten shots, changed back to winnies and no crackers or whizzers since. For a real ammo test I have a box of RWS, which are very consistent, so any doubts and run five or ten of these through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Galore! Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 How old is the gun? check your magazine, is the head of the bullet catching as it's chambered? clean the chamber, clean the action, clean the mag well,clean the magazine, chamber a round, then unchamber it and check the face of the bullet. when did it last have a proper clean? might be too much lead build up in the rifling.

steve42 Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 If you have fired HV rounds through it may have copper fowling in the barrel , this would take alot of cleaning to get rid of it all Good luck Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colster Posted July 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 That's more like it: 5 shot group with some Remmy subs, looks like maybe just a duff batch of Winnie's Thanks for all the tips and advice, lads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beretta28g Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Colster where did you get te batch from and can you let me know the batch number please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colster Posted July 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Colster where did you get te batch from and can you let me know the batch number please? If you mean the Winnies, I have 4 boxes here, 3 of them came from Websters at Gt. Ellingham (no slur on him as he's a top bloke and already said he will swap them no problem) and the other from Leeds Chimp on here (but I think he bought them from Webster's too), batch number (if it's the number stamped on the flap when you open the box) is 1DEF01, barcode on the boxes is 9 322022 000136(they're all the same) - hope that helps.

Colster Posted September 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 (edited) Just a little update as I decided to give Winchesters one more try (again 52yards off a bipod on 4x4 bonnet): The two groups had a small tweak of the scope inbetween, happy to conclude that it was just a duff batch before.

ging125 Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Really!! Thats good news!! Just dry and oil before i put her away, what about accuracy? is it not affected? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 what about accuracy? is it not affected? No. But it will be if you clean it. [assuming you are using subs] Just keep the first 20mm or so of the barrel clean and the bolt free from crud, you won't need to do anything else.
