Was testing my new R1 in 20 cal. again.

Was getting quite a devation with Beeman FTS Pellets. String of 5 shots, 3 were 860, 855, 870, 790, 798.

With Beeman Crow Magnums, 5 shots, 785, 774, 790, 782, 781.

Could the FTS Pellets quality be bad, or user error somehow?

The gun has around 420 rounds through it.

Best

Clean out the barrel and see if anything changes. Every brand of pellet is sized a bit differently and perhaps the FTS's are bit wider than the Crows, so they tend to gum up more often in the barrel (?)

Could be a poor quality batch of the FTS. Are you seating them correctly? Different hold? Light changes?

Could also be that your R1 needs a cleaning.
