    best pellet for Brocock Contour?

    Hi,

    Just a quick one. We've tried:-

    RWS R10 rifle,
    AA Diabolo Fields 8.4,
    JSB Diabolo 8.4 (they DO NOT look like the AA when viewed from behind)

    All of the above are considered "the best" by some, but are not working in the Contour.
    Does the Contour like something a little different, maybe heavier?

    Thanks,
    Rob.

    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.
