Rohm Twinmaster Sport pellets

If you look at the instruction booklet it will have a test card and the name and size of pellet that was used to acheive that result, I think you will find that twinmaster test with R10's and normally 4.49.

Noddy and I used to use R10s in our twinmasters but we switched to Hobbys for the last season of the UBC comps and there's no loss of accuracy that I can see. I'm thinking of giving Gekkos a try on my next order.

I bought the RWS Hobbys and they seem fine......my shooting is still in need of improvement. I'm going to try a club for some help on technique. Thansk for the info guys.

I have been trying to find a cheaper pellets for all of my pistols but my FWB80 was always a bit picky.

A club member got a cheap brand and bought me a 1000 and 3/5 of my pistols likes these and they are £3-3.50 per 500...cheaper than Hobby so I'll try them in my other 2 pistols...won't say what they are yet till I have made sure if I can recommend trying some to anyone else.

The problem with cheap pellets is quality control. In Finale Match 99.9% of pellets will be perfectly formed and sized. In Match Kulgeln this will fall to, say, 99%. (Finale pellets are manufactured on the same equipment, but just have an extra QC before packaging; the percentages quoted are only guesses, not accurate data).

Cheaper pellets may only have 95% of the pellets being perfect. This could mean that a test batch of 50 pellets will only have a couple of 'flyers' and that can easily be ignored, and therfore a test batch may show eLcRappo pellets to perform as well as the gold platted ones. However, when you are trying to improve your shooting, the most important thing is the mental approach, and having a lingering doubt about the quality of the pellet is something that you don't need rattling around inside your head. If you swap to a 'good' pellet only for competition you will also add a mental doubt that the pellets don't work as well as what you are used to using in the gun.

So, as I said right at the beginning, think what the piece of mind good pellets actaully costs you - say an extra £2 or £3 per tin of 500. Then how much you will actually shoot over a year and multiply up the cost. Then make your decisions. For me I buy R10s at £5.50 a tin and I know these will consistently outperform me. Finale Match at £9 a tin are an added expense that will bring me no reward.
