Distorted pellets

Here's proof that the pellets are starting out life badly. They are slamming into the side of the barrel, and smearing badly. This throws them out of balance and imparts a wobble.

These were recovered in a bucket of water. So even though the pistol was sent back for repair, it is still has the same issue.

Notice that the lower part of the pellet is not a true cone. This is because the pressure provided by the CO2 gas expands the soft lead. Pellets are hollow.
