    Hw45 accuracy problem ?

    Hi

    I'm a bit lost with my 45. impossible to make a group of less than 5/6 cm with gun support! At 6,8 and 10 meters .I tried at low power the same. Have tight barrel any problems. I have tried all types of lead Jsb exact, express, rs, lead match h&n, meisterkugel, r10. so is it the barrel or myself who have a problem ?

    Thanks

    45,s are very hard to master in my experience . But it could be just me

    Dirty barrel would be my best guess, chronograph it, and if power is consistent that rules out broken spring/guide (which would be next best guess)

    Or.... loose rear sight blade? They are prone to being bumped or moved due to the over lever cocking action

    If they were made by anyone else they'd be a pig to shoot but as it's a hw it's just hard to master.

    I expect that sort of answer from Tony L
    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in
