    HnN substitute

    Evening.

    Im looking for a substitute for my Air wolf. I have had a break from my shooting what with a baby and work I decided to dig the old girl out, go buy a couple o tins o HnN and have a sesh in the back garden. Having used HnN FFT for many a year I was disappointed to find they were all over the place. I heard Biz Mags were re badged HnN Mags and the Air wolf loved them. What ive noticed is that my barrel seems to like pellets that are hard lead/shiny like HnH and I can fee pick up the rifleing un like AA or JSBs.
    After that my question what other "hard" pellets are there that are worth a go?

    Crosman Premier (in the cardboard box not the tins) are a harder mix (high antimony content) than most and I still rate them, especially in springer or rammers. May loose a few (50ish) fps in your AW.

    You've probably done it, but after a long lay up it's often worth cleaning the barrel, gets things back on a level playing field sort of thing, in my case I leave it with a coat of oil in it anyway.

    I don't know about the actual alloy, but I saw a .22 Defiant Ogive pellet on my barn floor before, it must have been there since February & still shiny?

    Accupell FT are re-badged H&N FTT
    The toxicity of lead varies, depending upon the weight of its doseage and its velocity!

    Crossman Premier's
    Accupell's
    RWS Superdomes and Superfields

    All three are pretty hard.

    Biz mags don't work in my wolf
    fliers are common
    best pellets I've found are AA fields, JSB Exacts and JSB heavies work best
    I got a tin of FTT's and they do ok but nowhere near as good as the other 3
    Air Arms S410 Carbine -.177- Hawke Sidewinder 30 4.5-14x42
    Air Arms S400 -.177 - Hawke Sidewinder 30 10x42
    Daystate Airwolf CDT -.177- Richter 6-24x50
