Plinking Marvelous! The Crosman 600

[Shed tuner]

Brilliant guns.

I just machined down a spare 1322 barrel to give an extra 3" of length and bring the power up to around 5FP.

I bought Deans book 18 months ago.
Still haven’t finished it!

Definitive.

I would fully endorse the 600 and Dean's book on the subject, which is well worth the cover price.

I've managed to trace original copies of the contemporary reviews included in the book as my eyesight is not good enough to read the reproduced copies, as well as some others from The American Rifleman and Gun Digest from the 1960s. I also have a manual with one of my pistols that is a cross between Dean's variant 12 and 13, so maybe it's the 12a or 12.5

I'm handing my Sears marked 600 to Lawrie at Kempton tomorrow for a service and am already looking forward to getting her back for a range session.

Just wondering what pellets you chaps have found to be reliable in your 600's ?

I'm using Crosman Match, and have found them to cycle the action best of all the wadcutters I've tried.

I've got a Sears 600 and a 677 they are great pistols and I should use them more, they like being used!

When I got mine, the previous owner advised Accupel, so I haven't used anything different. They feed perfectly and mine will actually take 11 pellets in the mag quite happily

Bisley Practice seem to work very well through mine.

accupell and H&N FTT work well...

Ah, interesting, Bisley Practice didn't work too well in mine

I shall give H&N FTT's a go though, and buy some Accupells to try as well.

Thanks for the replies gents

[Abasmajor]

Another vote for Accupells which seem to perform almost perfectly in my 600.

I also have a Benjamin 422 which is nice to own, but only if shot infrequently as it is nowhere near as reliable or well engineered as the 600. Still good fun though.

Verminpells are the best IMO.
Flathead and slippery.
No Jams.
