Which 0.177 pellet for competition use

At the end of the day it's up to the shooter. If he/she wants to spend time experimenting with different size heads amongst other things, that's fine. As a C/F benchrest shooter, years back, I along with others constantly searched for anything that would give an edge, anything. Old habits die hard so nowadays, playing around with benched air rifles I'm still looking for ways to shrink my groups so, as I've already said in the previous post, I've found that head size does make a difference, slight, but a difference all the same, not only with the Steyr, but other match rifles as well.

Thanks for all the replies, they will all be useful when I do my write up. I've got 3 weeks of scope posts to write first so unfortunately the pellet post won't be any time soon.

I managed my first trip to Iden Ferns today (great club btw). I tested my air arms diabolo 4.51 vs 4.52 and as predicted, I couldn't tell the difference. However JSB express were a definite improvement in group size. This is the first time I've tried express and I'm impressed so far. Although it was a very still day so I don't know how wind will affect them yet. (This is with a TX200HC, almost standard internals with just a bit of weight added to the stock).
