AA S400 K .22 absolutely loves the new Falcon Accuracy Plus 13.43 grain pellets. Very flat trajectory firing between 614 and 624 fps. half inch groups at 40 yards bench rested. I kid you not, give them a wirl..

hi all as the title suggests iam new to this very fine forum but not to other forums and definatly not new to the world of airgunning but did take a long break when my days were spent raising a family and fly fishing.

anyhow didnt see a section on here for introductions so hello all, love an old pellet discussion so was drawn to this thread for my first post.

iam currently only using a modded old crosman 760 dating back to the sixties a real nice version of it all metal parts not the cheap plastic crap you get today. and i find that with this RWS hobby and gamo pro match flathead pellets work superbly and also double up as effective close range pest control pellets.

cheers all, james.

[B]Daystate x2 r sports .22 [B] likes Airs Arms Field, will comfortably group under an inch at 30m------Dislikes Accupels as they jammed

BSA Lightning .22liked Accupels then went onto Air Arms field still good groups.(only because i was being tight using same pellets)

As of yesterday it regrouped using Accupels, from sitting at 25m 1" although i did spot its trajectory looping off left and back in.

I plum for a tin of RWS Superdomes anyone wanna argue??

both my hw100's my 97k and hw99s all are .177 and seem happiest with jsb exact 4.52,
my son has a hw99s in .22 and it works best with h&n ftt/weihrauch f and t
he has tried rws superfield and they group well but drop quickly it seems maybe its because they are heavier,typically with h&n's he gets a group around 18-20mm at 25yards rested
last weekend i did a session with the 97k and got groups of between 10-12mm with the exacts rested at 25yards
the hw100s do pretty much single cloverleaf holes at 25yards off a harris bipod
the hw99s does around 15mm c/c 25yards rested with jsb's,i'm fitting a v-mach kit to it and having a bit of a fettle with it so will see if it groups any better
my alecto prefers hobbies and accupels and my hw45 likes hobbies and h&n ftts

Hi all

what would be the best grain pellet for an s400 carbine for HFT?

[awnield]

RWS Superdomes for me..

[macdonaldal]

What do you guys think of Geco ?

[The Duke]

BSA GoldStar .22

AA Field

[richardmartin91]

Best pellets(giving less than 10mm grouping at 35 yds with 10 pellets fired)

In order of grouping smallest diameter to largest diameter:

Bisley mags
Crosman premier ultra magnum
RWS Superpoint
H&N Field Target Trophy
Daystate rangemaster Li
Accupell


Bis mags and crosman ultra magnums where pellet on pellet at this set distance. outdoors with a mild wind
