My anschutz is back to shooting spot on now . Rws subs , eley subs , Winchester 42 grain subs , SK plus all shoot very well. Problem was the dirty powder filled mod .
so much for those who say never clean the mod !!! .
beware of eley subs though. Years back they were good then the advertised 40 were actually 38 g and now they are advertised at 38 g and most are at 36 g .
I need to clean the mod every 100 rounds to make sure everything works properly. Sak and ase utra mods used .
This is from a 16” barrel, nice and short but maybe not burning all the powder . The same mod on an anschutz 17 hmr with a 19” barrel hardly ever needs cleaning.
Usually do a quick clean with a bore snake to clean out the residue.
rws are very waxy , Winchester seem to have no lube and eley have a hard wax lube . Ammo availability is a major problem.
Keep inside of the mod dry as I’ve found that wd40 and Napier mod spray doesn’t really help. Some European ammo will suit the rifle better than others.
cheers mate
