I’ve got one of these and had the exact same issue with pellets spraying everywhere. My first fix was to use Weihrauch Magnum 10.65gr pellets. This helped but still didn’t cure it. It took it to a friendly gunsmith who sorted out the twang and smoothed out the recoil. It now shoots as good as any other springer with 8.44gr Baracuda 8 pellets. It’s a shame that it needs tweaking but I’m glad I persevered with mine. Now a real keeper. Good luck.
Loading port misalignment is what i would be thinking old chap , not unheard of, if still under warranty take it back , tbh i would go for a different WEIRAUCH ,
check the choke, push a pellet down from the muzzle uncocked, if a tight start and then drops down after, it's showing odds on thats your the trouble, ;) May need a good polish inside at that end, help the pellets out,
I'm no expert as I've never owned 1,however thought about it and when doing research found that some have issues with the loading port either not lining up or clipping pellets leading poor grouping it put me off getting 1cause knowing my luck I'd get 1 of those..seems you've covered everything else hope you get it sorted good luck 👍
It could be that the gun is hold sensitive, I have a gun that does not shoot well of rest, but if I rest my hand on the rest and shoot the gun off my open palm it groups no problem, what ever you do do not grip the gun tightly, springers don't like it lol. Try different hold methods.
What size groups are you getting? Could it be you hav’nt found a suitable pellet that suits both the barrel and the pop up breech? Are you sure there’s no scope creep? Have you checked it through a chronograph to see if it’s consistent? Is your hold correct and consistent? If these things check out it’s probably the breech isn’t aligning with the barrel properly or less likely it’s a damaged/duff barrel.
Is the breach loading mech sitting right? It may have too much grease in and not allowing the pellets to sit right. I have heaed that the mech can clip the skirt of the pellets and hence get your flyers.
Is the scope tube nipped up too tight, if it is, the crosshairs will be jumping around all over the place (un noticeably) inside. Just over half nipped is about right, cos there's 8 bolts & enough grip over that spread. Tightened diagonally opposite & a bit at a time.
I don't think they are known for their accuracy but I still don't think youve found the right pellets I've got around 30 different pellets I usually find the one it likes and when you do it's amazing
Put 100 or 200 through it. I had similar with a 97. It settled down. Equally check your mounts, you said you shoot a shotgun. As do I, completely different hold. Look up artillery hold. Sorry if you know this stuff. It’s just not mentioned in your post. Ignore if I’m telling you to suck eggs. Sorry I meant 97k

I had a brand new bsa lightning and had the same problem changed 3 scopes, 6 different pellets and finally found out the spring was bust.
That’s why a chronograph is invaluable.

Exactly.
interesting problem, maybe drop into a gunsmith to take a look ?
please post update
If you bought it from a gun shop simply take it back. If it's new it will be under warranty.

Worst hw ever made…..stick with a hw99s if you want a nice light airgun 👌👌👌
The pop up breech seems to be an issue.Shame as I like the concept.
@@redpillnibbler4423 yeah shame really as its a nice looking rifle as i love the hw77 👌👌👌
Price
Try h&n
The washer has a hole in it put it on the chrono not a hard gun to strip down
