    bsa airsporter pellets

    having fully restored a bsa Airsporter I was given, with welsh willy kit modified piston ,full reblue and the stock repolished, I now want to use it , when I had my original Airsporter years ago I used eley wasp 5.6, have seen these on sale now but everyone seems to say they are not good, can anyone recommend some pellets that work with this gun , that I can test.
    cheers Steve

    RWS Superdomes work well for me. Defiant Vintage are great, no longer produced but still available on E8ay, I believe. Plenty of othe suggestions will be along shortly.
    Happy Shooting!! Paul.

    Can't hurt to try the current 5.6mm Wasps - cheap and widely available...

    Yes
    5.5mm Eley Wasp Mauve Tin. The older original pellets !
    But the Vintage Defiants are pretty good.
    Superdomes are probably the next best bet.
    My Airsporter RB2 .22 loves the Wasps but it also likes BSA Elites !
