Pellet selection for testing - best ones to have "in stock"?

[Rapidnick]

Geoff I'd add accupells to your list. I've found them the best in quite a number of 22 legal limit rifles I've owned and/or shot.

Geoff I'd add accupells to your list.

Also AA diabolo field and some of the light ones like JSB RS/AA Express.

With all that has been mentioned I use them all - like yourself, the cheap ones tend to be just that, I've never found a descent one.

Don't use them much myself, but JSB, AA and Falcon Accuracy Plus must be on the list.

For older British .22"s, Defiant Vintage. And Milbro TR. Apparently, Superpoints can do surprisingly well in them, but I have not tried them in about 25 years.

For anything: Superfields, Superdomes, Hobbies. R10s and Gecos in .177".

Bisley Mags for pneumatics/CO2.

Boxed Premiers also feature in my stash, particularly useful in .20" (Diana 45, Sheridan C9, Crosman SSP250).

These days, for my plinkers, I start with Hobbys and Superfields. If either groups well (they usually do), I stop there, because I am too busy/lazy to chase fractionally smaller groups.

Obviously, if I was back into longer-range pest control or serious competition, I'd do things differently.

I've found accupells to be poor in every rifle I've had,
JSB's have to be the first pellet to try easily available, top quality and cheap if buying 10 or more.

Accupels used to be good, but since the manufacturer changed, they've gone downhill fast.

Nothing wrong with your lists, they're very similar to mine.
If I'm shooting an older air rifle, I'd initially be reaching for Superdomes particularly in .22 cal. and for even older stuff the Defiant Vintage.

I'd probably add the Air Arms fields to your .177 list in both 4.51 and 4.52 and possibly the Express !

[DJP]

JSB and, er, that's it.

I've honestly found JSB to be the best in just about everything and seldom bother trying much else.

I will give an honourable mention to Accupells in .22 - some of my Air Arms rifles have shot very well with them (although the .177s seem to be crap in everything).

And H&N FTT in .22 since some of my HWs have been very good with them.

But even then JSB have been just as good.

Been shooting a new tin of JSB Express 4.52 today , Brilliant !

Would definetly add them to my lists !
