Help choosin pellets for my Tau 7 please

[Zero58]

New to this Disapline have posted and have received excellent replies on other matters deeming with my new to me pistol.But I'm a bit out of my depth with the 3 choices of Jsb match pistol pellets as far as I can make out there are 3 types of flat heads
Heavy, medium, and light can any one furnish a link where I can get 3 trial/ test packs as I don't realy want to buy 500 of each failing that perhaps some one can state in there opinion which would be good in my
Tau 7 she will only be shot indoors at ranges of 10m
And 5meters any help in this matter for a novice pistol shooter
Thanks from Frank

I would just stick with light for pistol, faster fps so cleaner holes in the card. If the pistol is giving a good fps anyway, the differences will be marginal or probably not even noticeable.

Don't swap and charge too many things all at once, it can take quite a while to get used to a new pellet or some adjustment in your grip or technique. I am still trying to educate my thumb that it has no role to play in squeezing the trigger!

Have fun!

Mark.

Check this thread re pellets. A few at the club use a Tinbum pellet sizer and get very good results from the RWS Basic at half the price of R10.

Bisley practice are a nice, affordable pistol pellet. I use them in all my target pistols.

No matter what your standard, its better to know that any error is you, and not the grouping ability of the pellet, the gun, or any other factor, the cost of even the best pellets are the cheapest form of target shooting available. The difference in cost between the best and the cheapest pellets is
less than 40 pence over a full 60 shot plus sighters match course.

The difference are not just cost, which is minimal, consistency, and barrel fouling is also a factor, and then ultimately accuracy.

That's why I'd always advise to use RWS R10 in the weight and size for your gun.

Have Fun

Tis true! Ive used sized RWS Basic in a variety of pistols, (springer, CO2 and pcp) and have 'brought home the bacon' on many occasions.

Zero58,

It all depends on how much you are willing to spend.

As Mr. Carter says, the price differential between 'cheaper' pellets and 'top-notch' is not great, so you may as well use the top-notch and not loose any sleep.

Last Friday I bought some RWS Hobby, and some RWS R10 Pistol pellets ; I bought 5000 of each, and this worked out to :

Hobby = 0.89 p/pellet

R10 = 1.5 p/pellet

(The Hobby's were bought exclusively for 'plinking')

So for a 120 shot session, the Hobby's would cost £1.07, and the R10s £1.89 - 80 p more 'expensive' per 120 shot session.

Only you can say whether this is significant.

My Tau7 shoots extremely well with the RWS R10s, and also with the JSB Match (Green, 7.33 gr.), and these pellets are what I use the most in my 'match' pistols & rifles.

The Tau 7 also shoots JSB Express (7.87 gr. 'field' pellets) very well indeed, so you are not necessarily stuck with using only flat headed 'match' pellets.

However, if the pellets are not used for 'critical' applications (target matches, hunting), then shoot whatever you are comfortable with.

I doubt whether any of the pellets from the respected companies (JSB, RWS, H&N) could be deemed truly and absolutely sh!te, so get yourself some RWS Hobby/CO2, and a tin of RWS R10s or JSB Match or Qiang Yuan to compare with, and have a play.

Have fun

Best regards

Russ

We shot Tau 7 Match for many years at our club and always found that the RWS Meisterkugeln worked very - no missed shots could ever be blamed on the pellets

The RWS Meisterkugeln pellets are a good price ( less than R10 but more than Hobby or Basics) and could be regarded as a very good choice without breaking the piggy bank
