Agreed. And I probably need to test a bunch of pellets, not just the RWS Superfields I had on hand. Looking at the Pyramydair blog, "BB" shot his (conventionally sighted) HW45 about as well as mine with some, a little worse with others, and a lot better with match wadcutters. But his was .177" and mine is .22".

Any ideas on good 5.5mm wadcutters?

This is an interesting little challenge.

And, no, I will not put a scope or red dot on it, because optics on pistols are perverted.
