The pellet thread!

[TORNADOS7]

Personally I always reach for the "Superdomes/Superfields" first, if it ain't accurate with those two chances are it ain't gonna be accurate with anything !

The only rifle I've ever owned that could actually shoot superdome was a Brummie .177 Stingray Carbine.

Nothing else I've owned has ever been able to group with them!

Rite "Olas" that's a bit weird I've used Superdomes almost exclusively over the last 15-20 yrs of my shooting life, although I can't deny that I've experimented with lots of different pellets over the years as new brands and types make an appearance on the market' but have to say I've never experienced a problem with accuracy when it came to Superdomes !

I still use "Domes" in my 95k and I use "Superfields" in my "Venom Viper" to great effect, admittedly they're no FT pellet by modern standards but 20 odd years ago they were the "GO TO" FT pellet !

Just speaking from personal experience you understand !

Gamo Compact tuned .177 and it loves RWS R10 pellets after testing.

New r10 super carbine with the 9" barrel seriously likes 8.4 air arms field, I've just found this out on a blustery day.

I think that as has been said above, you need to check your rifle with a variety of pellets and even in some cases differing sizes within a single pellet (5.50 5.51 5.52 Etc...). Air Arms Diabolo Field and Air Arms Diabolo Hunter have been the two that I have found to be very consistent and accurate in my S510 and Weihrauch Magnums suit my HW 100, but I am sure that others will have different experiences than me. When the tolerance of these pellets is down to 0.01mm, then there is every chance that a minor inconsistency in barrels from different batches will favour one pellet type over another.
