    Can anyone recommend a pellet for a FWB 127

    Been tinkering with the trigger to get a bit more consistency as I am struggling to get reasonable groups. I started out using JSB exact heavy's in 5.52 and switched to superdomes, which gave an improvement, but with the odd flier. So before I part with some more pocket money, I wondered what anyone else is using?

    5.52 jsb / air arms are brilliant in mine. I'd check the barrel lock up too if you've changed the breech seal. The 'normal' o ring breech seal is slightly too thick & causes poi changes dependent on how hard or soft you close the breech. If you're getting vertical poi shifts, the breech seal is worth a shot.

    Aah, this is what could be happening as my POI is changing vertically. Did you replace the breech seal? If so, what with?

    I actually kept the o ring, but parred away some of the material with a Stanley knife until it sat a touch lower in the recess. Obviously the rough side faces down once you've trimmed it & the untouched side does the sealing

    Try the gun through a chrono, fps variation should be in single figures for a well tuned gun!

    5.52 says the sticky label on the bottom of the tin on mine.the rifle likes to be shot with a distinctly light hold also; if so is very accurate indeed. atb

    Superfield

    I've been using Superfields, but have still not got to grips with it, they seem to go everywhere! It's probably me, however, I seem to do okay with my TX200 (using AA and JSB exacts)
