[QUOTE="Devin2009, post: 4805104, member: 7578"] The more I've studied than thought about my issue, I'm came to the conclusion that the breech plug is not made to effectively use bh209. The plug has a flat surface on the back while most bh209 capable plugs have a bowl type indention. The bore is far from being loose. I am still puzzled why it worked last year when the gun was new. Since I've switched to pellets the gun is shooting perfect with ZERO hang fires unlike when I was using bh209 4 out of 5 shots was a pop booom. My question is, if I am overloading the gun by shooting 3 777 pellets, why is most everyone else shooting the same load? I want the most velocity as possible and the extra range while being effective and accurate like I've achieved with this load. Most shots I will have should be within 100 yards but I do have a couple places where I could shoot 200 or so yards and I want to be able to do so, being I paid as much money for a gun that is supposed to be capable of it. If I was just wanting to limit myself to 100 yards or less my old Knight American would be perfect. [/QUOTE]
