    What power is it set at?
    I find AA Fields 5.52 good up to 900fps if you are using more power then Bismags are worth a try. I still always go back to Fields though.
    I have being trying Bobs 18g Exterminators which group well at 870fps so they are also worth a go.
    If you want a Sample let me now and I will send you some, a few more that Bob will do for so proper testing MAKE SURE you clean you barrel first before using these though.

    Thanks Andy for the quick reply, I believe it is about 30ftlb but will chrono it before leaving the shop to confirm the power. Thanks for the offer of a few testers, will take you up on that. Will send a PM tomorrow.
    Hows the maggie doing, hope its behaving itself
    Thanks, Bob

    I use the AA 5.52's or 5.51 if I can find the 5.52's

    They shoot very well in my FAC Rapid mark 1

    bob's 18 grain exterminators are well worth a try, if AA fields won't hold together..
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    Agree with Jon, Bob's 18gr's are excellent.

    Hi Bob - you get the Bob specials from Bob - he's login on here is clubshot. He normally has a sixth sense that instantly detects any posts that mention him or his pellets, so he may be along in a moment.

    Hello Bob,

    Another vote for AA Field in my Mk 2 Rapid FAC - I haven't tried them over 925fps in it though.

    HTH, Regards, Ed

    Exterminators are the Original Logun Penetrators

    Which are based on the Tin Dynamics
    But made from Lead


    9.50's in .177
    16.00's in .22
    20.50's in .22

    Was made for me and ended up through Slow sales at the time
    being made for Logun's as Penetrators
    Following a large Advertising and Dealer Campaign

    But following my continued Association with manufactures
    Pax Guns

    I have brought out

    18.00's in .22
    15.00's in .177


    And currently working on
    Air Bullet's with Boattails

    30.00 in .22
    20.00 in .177

    My policy is to offer Free Trial packs
    So shooters can try them in their Gun's
    instead of Glossy Advert's

    email name & address for a Free trial pack
    also stating make & model & Calibre

    with my mk1 i found aa hunter's which are the pointy ones always grouped best (850fps) they are 5.50 and my barrel seemed to like these much better than the .51's or .52's aa fields

    might be worth a try although i dont usually like pointed pellets
