    Try Bisley magnum 4.52 buddy, I shot my friends over the weekend using these and it was crazy accurate!

    Daystate heavies or H@N Barracuda match work in mine.

    Having had six R-10's I have never had a fussy one but grouping always opened up with the magazine. Single shot eliminated any grouping issues and that went for my Scorpions, Ultra's etc.

    Another for Bisley Mag and H&N Barracuda Match 4.51 or 4.52. Excellent in all my BSAs

    Also a valid point! I bought a Rowan Engineeing single shot loader for my Compatto Target while at the NEC today, 30+ shots at 25 yards in the garden, not a single flyer. If I use the magazine I would get at least 1 per 10 shot magazine

    My R10 was useless with any of the JSB/AA pellets but pellet on pellet at 35yards with H&N FTT and H&N Baracuda Match. Although the Baracuda Match are now in tins of 400 instead of 500 so use the Bisley Mags instead. They are equally as accurate. All of the above were best in the 4.52 in my barrel.

    Going back a bit (over ten years), but my carbine S-10 .177 when I had it fair LOVED JSB 4.53 Pellets (5p five shot groups at 40 yards). Hope this helps.

    Crosman Premier Ultra Magnums are also worth trying!
