S200 Pellets, what do you use?

[Rocketstu]

I have only really used Logun Penetrators, but I'm starting to wonder if they're a little to heavy for longer range (40~50yd) hunting? I would like to give other pellets a try, but I'm not sure what's best for the S200!?

.177 or .22?
My .177 shot Air Arms fields and H&N's like a dream

[Rocketstu]

Sorry, forgot to say, .177
I found the AA fields tended to easily bend their skirts on my .22 rifles, are they fairly solid in .177?

i have tried loads of different pellets in mine (177) it seems to behave with most exept for gamo match its even prety good with marksman but i wouldnt hunt with them

Ditto, But try the different head sizes to see which suit your particular barrel.

[Rocketstu]

How many head sizes in .177?

[huntsman]

4.51, 4.52, 4.53

Try a tin of each - They are also the same pellet as Daystate & JSB Exacts

I use 4.51 as the shoot well in both my rifles. (And I'm too Cr*p a shot for it to make much difference anyway )

Yep agreed.

Best way is to try several types/makes of pellet, cheapest way to do that is to try Pellpax, 38 types for £13.99

JSB .177 4.52's worked in mine.

Go for good ammo and see which is best in your barrel.

Pellpax dont offer a package of the top contenders - there are some very indifferent pellets included in the sample IMHO.

[Home Guard]

I use Air Arms field 4.52 probly because i dont go hunting and i dont need penetration on steel knockdown targets at the local club.

[Si-monster]

.22 AA Fields without question but it's not that fussy a rifle so have a play and see what you prefer

[jamie1]

Yep agreed.

I concur

[torrrential]

JSB Exact 4.52

I believe it's what CZ use to test the barrels anyway!
