The pellet thread!

[Philip122]

.177 or for those who are technically superior to your average shooter 4.51 OR 4.52 as it was pointed out to me in a certain shop I went in to for pellets
Barracuda match
For both my air rifles

all i know is avoid .22 Webley Hustler needle points, far too soft for my liking

Hi just thought I'd add to this post, I haven't seen weihrauch F&T Pellets mentioned. I bought a tin from Tonys camo and they're fantastic in my HW97K, Haven't seem them for sale anywere else.Only £4 for 200.
RWS Superfield are also very good,
My choice of hunting pellet is also RWS Super H Point.
Just purchased some Prometheus to give them a bash, you don't know until you've tried eh? Lot of poor reviews though
Might try the Weihrauch Magnums next, has anybody tried them?

Have recently done a bit of testing with 177 Daystate and Exact pellets and an airwolf. The exact group more consistently with my rifle at 35yards.

As new to airguns, is it down to the make and type of rifle, or the individual gun, on the whole ?

[HW90Guy]

HW90k in .177:

Bisley Magnums when FAC
RWS Superfields when 12ftlb

S200 .22:

AA Fields 5.52 (or any of these type i.e. Daystate FT and JSB Exact)

Falcon Accuracy Plus .22, beautiful in my HW77. Half inch groups at fifty yards, bench rested of course

[Ressie]

SMK Th208 .177, likes accupels, good groups out to 35yrds.

I'm having trouble with Marksman pointeds, either that or my Beeman P17 pistol.

I'm resting the gun in as near as possible the same position each shot on a workmate (locating it in between the wooden clamps), and getting grouping of about 3.5" over 10 shots at about 6m.

Either they're atrocious pellets for the Beeman, or the gun has properly lost its marbles. Got some RWS Gecos on the way, so hopefully they'll remove all doubt as to what's causing the issue/what is the issue.

One thing I noted is that the Marksmans are terribly inconsistently manufactured, and there are an awful lot of scrap pellets in the tin.

[Ed J]

Um, A) pointed pellets are crap.

B) Marksman isn't exactly the best pellet make I can think of

Anyone used the Napia hunter in 177?
Put about a hundred through my HW97KT and they were absolutly atrocious.
At one point i thought it was either me or the rifle, but i aint that bad.

Was shooting 5 ten round groups at 30yds, at least ten missed the target altogether and hit the back stop behind.

Thanks Marcus

Just got back in from some shooting and lots of trying different pellets.

Have finally settled on Air Arms in 177 for my HW97k.
The best groping so far and really impressed with them.

Were even better with a couple of sprays of pellet lube from Napia.
