[regsmonster]

What type of pellets do you use for hunting? (pigeon, rabbit etc.......)

It depends what your hunting for:

Rabbit - Dome
Pigeon - Flat Head
Rat - Hollow Point

As for pointed? I Don't?
Do a search please...

[gary_cooper]

Maybe because there wasn't a box to vote for Paper?

If you do a search using the word 'pellets' you will get 500+ posts, mainly people say they use such and such a brand and /or caliber. I'm not interested in what brand or caliber, just wondered what shape pellet people use..........

you could try this link (http://airgunbbs.com/6/ubb.x?a=tpc&s=91060785&f=87260138&m=46660658&r=28660658#28660658) it's a discussion of pointed versus round headed pellets for hunting

If you are using 22 give Air Arms Hunters a go.

Nah, use AA Fields instead <img src="http://jsramsbottom.co.uk/bbs/e/icon_razz.gif" alt="Razz" width="15" height="15"><!--graemlin::p-->

Domed for Long Range shooting.

But found my XP2's , which are Dimpled Head
Made originally for Brocock Tac shooting, for good target Marking and reduced rebounds.

Really do destroy Rats , like being hit with a Solid slug from a Shot Gun.

I used to use Hollow Points for shooting around Farm Buildings.
Was great out to around 30 Yards in .22.

Most of the time I now use my Rapid 17 with , my Exterminator 9.50's <img src="http://jsramsbottom.co.uk/bbs/e/icon_wink.gif" alt="Wink" width="15" height="15"><!--graemlin:;)-->

H&N FTT or AA Field are my usual suspects. <img src="http://jsramsbottom.co.uk/bbs/e/icon_wink.gif" alt="Wink" width="15" height="15"><!--graemlin:;)-->
