    I must admit mine prefers the JSB heavy 10.35g but, to be honest, it works pretty well with most things.

    As tmstech says check the barrel crown. Mine wouldn't group at all from new and it went back to Brocock where, according to the job sheet, they completely rebuilt it, including replacing the barrel. That worked. It went from being a complete dog of a rifle to being my "go to" rifle.

    Hi Guys,

    I have bought all the pellets you have all said about in as many sizes as I can, testing will start when they get here.

    I have also taken these pics of the crown. I've done the cotton earbud test and no fibres are left on the crown, I have an insanely high powered modelling magnifying glass modelling lamp (the highest power is within the main glass and hard to photo) to look through.

    Pics of the crown are on this FB page, please have a look and let me know if you think the crown needs some looking at. I've seen on Youtube how to grind in a new crown with fine past and a brass screw. I can turn up a pure brass form in my lathe if that is better than a random brass screw?

    Thanks.


    P.S

    How hard is it to remove the barrel from the Contour? If it can be done with ease, I can true it up in my lathe first, before crowning.
