    Biggest .177 pellet

    What's the biggest .177 pellet available? Not weight, head size. Is there much on the market over 4.53?

    Probably H&N rabbit magnum. Impossible to feed in even @ 4.50 mm.

    Probably more to do with what its made of rather than its size.

    Accupell heavys are the same.

    Have seen some foreign pells that are heavy but have never seen larger headsizes other than the normal up and down % of JSB's in 4.5 .
    Pray tell if its not a secret , what gun / barrel is in 4.53 ?

    Tis for an airsporter. 4.52's are a loose fit into the loading tap. If I flare a pellet's skirt out a bit to make them a tighter fit in the tap, It gains 50 ft/sec (1fpe). The trouble is doing them uniformly. And of course, the time it takes to do it.

    Interesting . I don't shoot .177 / 4.5 that often compared to .22 and I wonder if some the old .177 Beesa's pre War flavour would benefit from a larger headsize pell . A lot is talked about old .22 and 5.60mm for BSA's . 1ft/lb is pretty good going .

    Countryway advertise the JSB Exact Diablo 4.53. Not sure if the JSB .177 Jumbo comes in bigger diameters but they weigh 13.43 grn.
