    Pellet choice for .22 hw77k

    Hello, me again!

    As I'm picking up my hw77 this weekend I thought I'd get a couple of types of pellet to test in it. I have some superdomes already, and would like to know which others you would suggest - and who could deliver them before Saturday?!

    Current possibilities are :-

    H&N ftt
    Jws exact
    Falcon accuracy plus

    Are weirhauch pellets any good?

    Cheers again, Matt

    Yes, they are the preferred pellets for both my HW77 and my HW100S.
    Both guns like the F&T versions which are the same as H&N FTT but with a 5.51 head rather than the usual 5.53.
    The slightly heavier (15.89gns) Weihrauch Exact Jumbos are also very good. They are JSB Exacts, also with a 5.51 head.
    Uttings have them in stock for next day delivery.

    My old (MK1) .22 cal 77K shot best with JSB Express, definately edging it over JSB RS.

    However, that was only from testing a single tin of each, so the results may well have been reversed with different batches of the same ammo. Such is the black art of pellet testing.

    Personally though, unless grouping proves otherwise, I'd stick with lighter weight pellets in a springer. They're often more efficient in a factory standard gun, and generally give a nicer shot cycle.

    Modern .22 Superdomes are near the same weight as JSB Express - but they're comparitively crap, with a crap BC. So I wouldn't bother too much with them. Unless they go particularly well in your '77 barrel.

    Depends what you want to do. If you only want to do short - medium range plinking, to be fair, most pellets would likely be OK.

    Have fun with your '77.

    Crosman Premier in mine.
    You can spend thousands and still miss a barn door or spend just enough and enjoy yourself. If you haven't got the talent to start with a million pound won't fix it. Whippet, Russell, a few bang sticks and a flat cap. http://www.smart-tech1st.co.uk
