To reduce jams, if not completely eliminate them, here are the tricks:
(1) Pistol wadcutters like Excite Plinking or H&N Sport
(2) Load them carefully, skirts flush.
(3) Lube with 30 ND on the stem face and a drop on each side of the hook. Then, with no CO2, DRYFIRE trigger work in lube.
Following all that, jams normally don't hit until the 3rd or 4th magazine - on the FIRST CO2. That is important because the first 24 shots have the most power and accuracy. My 1077 LOVES to shank LEFT. I've done what I can with the windage.
⚠️On the 2nd CO2, the jams can hit as soon as the second mag. I eject it, push on the skirts, then plug it back in. The H&N Sport wadcutters are more accurate IF you are willing to move your crosshair off center. With the heavier Sport pellet, I actually went to MIL DOT on the last 24 shots - off the right side. The first 24 shots were the crosshair to the right of center.⚠️
There is a debate if the COLD from the CO2 is causing the moving parts to freeze up. Unlike other C02 platforms, the air hits the back of your cylinder magazine. Other guns use a loading bolt, and the air is released like a pump gun into your barrel.
