Hi,

Yesterday 8-17-04, in the early evening, my 1077 was shooting fantastic with all kinds of power and very accurate and I was using the small Copperhead 12 gram powerlet cartridges too. Today again with 12 gram carts I was really lacking power and can't understand why??

I even put in a new cartridge this evening before doing any shooting to ensure the proper amount of power. I guess it could have been a defective cartridge??

Any suggestions as to what might have happened????

Thanks in advance!

Have a clear view of your target and what's behind/beyond it before squeezing off the shot.
Don't shoot at what you can't identify!

Happy hunting & safe shooting!!

could be temprature. if its cold it wont shoot verry powerfull. but sometimes you get co2 feed back that makes the co2 cold. next time that happens set the gun out in the sun for about 15 minutes or in a warm place. if that doesnt work the seal in the valve might of warped.

Hi Matt,

Again thanks for offering a possibility as to why I might have been having the problem but here in CA. that day it was at least 92* when I was shooting.

Also I was sighting in the rifle and after each shot I'd lay it on the table I was using as a bench-rest and walk 85' to the target to see just where the pellet hit so that killed at least 45 seconds to a minute.

Thanks again for your feed back!
