yodagoat Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 The other day I got a pellet stuck in the barrel of my trusty Edgar Brothers model 60 .22 I usually use wasp pellets but I changed to BSA elite dome pellets. They proved to be pretty accurate but then one got stuck in the barrel. I pushed the pellet down a little and re fired the gun and it shot fine, but the second and third pellet had the same issue. The BSA elite's were quite a snug fit and now I am worried I have damaged my gun, so i have ordered a new spring and seal kit. I have also heard that some pellets are 5.5 and some are 5.6mm Has anyone had a similar problem? Cheers Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJN Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 (edited) stupid questions I know, but have you cleaned the inside of the barrel ?, have you tried a pellet lube?, is there any damage to the barrel ?

yodagoat Posted November 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 There is no damage to the barrel, the gun is in pretty good condition, the only reason i'm getting the seals and spring is because I'm worried they would have been damaged by the sticking pellets. i haven't tried pellet lube, and I dont know how to really go about cleaning the barrel.

henry d Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 It could be a couple of things, your gun may be underpowered and the pellet too big for the barrel combined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yodagoat Posted November 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Hopefully the new spring and seals will sort it out, it is ment to be a full legal power rifle. The pellets were pretty tight in the barrel, so maybe I should just chuck them and use a different "fancy" slug. I've heard good things about bisley magnums.

Big_Sam Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 I found accupells are a good bet if you want an almost universally fitting pellet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micky Spillane Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 (edited) Don't bother using bisley magnums in a sub 12ft lb gun they are quite heavy and will have the trajectory of a mortar round Eley wasps come in two flavours 5.5 mm for continental .22 and 5.56mm fur the full English .22 the latter were recommended for BSA airsporters etc. As with all gun/pellet combinations stick with what works for you Edited December 19, 2008 by Micky Spillane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
