AA S400 Classic .22

AA Fields (5.52mm)
RWS Superdomes

Open to suggestions for relatively cheap pellets that might work with this gun

1) Accupell
2) JSB Diabolo 5.52


Need to try RWS Superdomes on a weekend

[Lord Summerisle]

I've had excellent results using H&N FTT pellets with the HW100 S FSB. 1.5 cm groups at 50 yards isn't too shabby, if the rifle were mechanically fixed in position, I'm guessing it could do better.

HW97K - accu-pell.22
BSA ultra - accu-pell.22
A A S200 - rats - accu-pell .177/ targets and rats AA diablo field .177 8.5gr/ rabbits premier ultra magnum .177 10.5 gr.
All above are an average of 11.5 to 11.7 ftlbs air rifles
BSA Meteor - accu-pell .22 targets. < this one is only 8 ftlbs>

These are the pellets i use now after many diferent makes weights and sized tried. note three diferent kinds for the .177 each for a different job the .177 accu-pell seem to knock rats over a little better than the AA diablo field Don't know why?

[Angelfire]

Here is a little list done just to see what my HW100 likes.

Make Weight fps ftlbs

Defiants 7.7 753 9.7

Airarms Diablo 8.7 747 10.7

Daystate Li 8.0 760 10.2

Thunderbolts 4.9 911 9.3

RWS S Dome 8.3 736 9.9

Marksman 8.3 761 10.6

H&N field target 8.9 743 10.9

Milbro Select 7.6 781 10.3

Accupell 8.0 768 10.4

Bisley Mag 10.6 673 10.66

Falcon 7.7 820 11.5

Wasp 7.4 798 10.47

Bisley L R 8.0 800 11.3

Bisley S F. 8.8 747 10.9


Conclusions - Falcon & Bisley Long Range seem to go well. The Thundebolts are quick, but suspect they might not be accurate due to their light weight. Acuraccy test to come next.

What is a little worrying is if only Defiants had been used at 7.7gn at 753fps giving 9.7ftlbs I would have been thinking of upping the fps to around the 820 fps mark which would have given 11.5ftlbs. It's only a 67fps rise, not large - but apply this to the Falcon pellet, same weight 7.7gn but another 67fps would be 887fps and 13.2 ftlbs - illegal.

I have a Theoben Rapid 12 and a Weihrauch HW 100 in .22 both really perform well with JSB Exact JUMBO .22 - 5.51 / 5.52 Field Domed Pellets 15.89 Grn they also do them for .177

JSB Exact 8.44 grains

Consistantly within the 25mm centre ring of target at 50m, pellet on pellet at 35m (when there is no wind!)

Is there going to be a dedicated website with all this data collated and placed in some easy to read format as promised? Has it already been done? This thread is now 4 years old, there is tons of data

[toxo]

In the interest of general info I'll throw this in.

I put just ONE of the following through my HW100 and these are the Combro results. I know these results can't be relied on with just one pellet and I didn't clean the barrel between shots either. It is what it is but I will do it again properly to find the most accurate and I will clean the barrel.
These results are quite alarming and also bewildering.

These are all .22
