I was out on the weekend with an old Cooey 75. I thought the barrel might be shot because i couldn't get any real accuracy out of it. I tried about 20 different kinds of ammo, and the best I got was about 1.25" at 50 yds. I then decided to try the Eley match- at about $15 bucks a pop!- and lo and behold, 5 shots into just over 1/2"! SO much for the shot barrel theory, but now I have a high-maintenance broad on my hands!
