AA410 .177 AA Fields 4.52/Daystate FT,Selects 4.52
HW90 .177 AA Fields 4.51/RWS Super Domes

[Stuart_B]

HW57 + Mozzies
half inch group at 30 yards was the best i've had out of the gun with any pellet (hold sensitive and user input accounting for much )


Still to get a dry day to coincide with spare time to test out mk3 rt (2004 model)

[Si B]

No too far off - I have always used mozzies in my 410k as after may years testing these are the best (for everything)

my motto as far as pellets go is hollow tip all the way i find them the best for kills mainly magpies and pigeon sometimes crow. And also find what ever you shoot with you should target with so the rifles always cock on

S-400K favourite AA Field 4.52 also groups well with Barracuda match, and Defiants.
HW95k favourite AA Field 5.52 also groups well with H&N FTT, RWS Superfield and RWS Superdomes.
Edit
AA TXHC MK111 favourite AA Field 4.52
did not like JSB 5.52, tried them when the rifle was new dieselled and grouped erratic tried switching between the 2 each time same result with the JSB's not tried them again.

MKII S200, .22 cal, new Daystate Carbon Fibre Airstream silencer, best pellet (I tried AA Fields, JSB's, H&N's FTT's and Webley Mosquitoes) are by far the mosquitoes.

The H&N's were shotgunning.

The AA Fields were super accurate but VERY loopy due to their weight (15.9 grains) and needed massive holdunder/over at ranges other than zero and did 11.4ft/ibs approx at 560fps.

The Mosquitoes were again as accurate as the AA Fields (they were both pellet on pellet at 30 yards) but were leaving the muzzle at 600 fps consistently, again, giving 11.4ft/ibs approx. They flew much flatter than the AA Fields and needed much less holdover at longer ranges due to their lighter weight (14/3 grains) but still have ample stopping power.

I know they are expensive (£6-50 for 250 in .22) but I don't shoot targets, only hunt and a tin last a good couple of months at least.

Basically, AIR ARMS S200 sub 12ft/ibs - WEBLEY MOSQUITOES ARE THE PELLET TO TRY

The Tau 7 happily shoots:

Match finale,
Match kugan
DN Geco (which my budget is very happy about!)

No difference noticed from an acccuracy viewpoint (at my level) but the Gecos being lighter and smaller raised the groupings, so I had to lower my sight picture. But hey i'm a novice - what do i know!!

does anyone have any pellet suggestions for an air arms s510sl?
