I'd be very happy to consistently hit the tin!
For the grouping then surely weight matching the pellets would help as even the slightest of weight difference would have a significant altering of the arc over that distance?

Back in the day when I was a complete air rifle anorak, I did some testing with using pellet lube and found it improved velocity consistency shot-to-shot, but only when an absolutely tiny amount of oil was applied.
The best method I found was to put two drops of lube into a ziploc bag, spread it all around the inside, then add a tin of pellets and gently move them around for a few minutes. Most of the two drops was left in the bag.
Thanks for all the replies, haven't got back at this since. Hope conditions are calm over the Xmas holidays and I'll be back at it. I've fitted a V-mach kit since, but also I have developed a cataract in my right eye .....not bad enough to be removed yet under the public system but annoying when pushing the limits target shooting. I wear glasses for reading but don't need them for anything else. I could get driving glasses but I don't need them....for driving but am wondering if they would help when looking through the scope. I was trying empty .22 rimfire cases last weekend but couldn't focus on them. I used to love the sound they made spinning away.
