I have tried the following pellets

Crosman Premier 5.5mm
Crosman Accupell 5.5mm
Air Arms Diablo Field 5.5mm

I am currently sticking with the Air Arms as these seem to give the best results.

Are there any other reccomendations for me to try.I have read about Defiant and JSB Exact pellets but trying all makes would work out expensive.

I have a full unopened box of Crosman Premier 14.3gr .22 5.5mm pellets if anybody wants to swap for a tin of defiants or JSB's.I also have a tin of Crossmann Accupells that probabley have 400+ pellets in to swap as well.I was given all the pellets last october when i brought my As410 Carbine.

Cheers

Why don't you try Webley Mosquitoes? The AA Fields being nearly 16grain are, imo, too heavy for effective use in a sub 12ft/ibs rifle (too loopy).

I switched from AA Fields to Mosquitoes and found them to be 40fps faster (600fps with the Mozzies as opposed to 560fps with the Fields) and a damn slight flatter flying with a negligable loss of power at the muzzle.
Accuracy wise, the Mozzies are as good as, if not better than, the AA Fields.

I only use AA Fields in my .22 18ft/ibs Falcon now and the Mosquitoes in my .22 S200.
