    Best Match Pellets for .22 CO2 Pistol

    I only know RWS's 'Hobby' pellets in .22.

    I am getting a match CO2 'air-pistol' in .22 for simulating ye olde .22 rimfire slow-fire on NSRA PL15 targets.

    Which quality flat-nose pellets are worth considering for this type of thing?

    Bisley Practice are definately worth a try. Outshoot Hobby in everything i have tried them in.

    Yes, I sort of agree, as Bisley Practice are good, but imho only as good as -- not better than -- old faithful (RWS Hobbies ).

    That's good because I already have a couple of tins of Hobby. They always seemed to have a good reputation back in the day, and the fact they are only 12 grains gives a bit more zip in what is a fairly slow-ball category.

    Will try the Bisleys as well.

    Absolutely, I've tried both pellets in both calibres and there's nothing in it. They are equally as good as eachother.

    It seems RWS still make the Meisterkulgen 5.5mm and H&N make a couple of 5.5mm flat heads as well, so maybe I will do a test when I get the pistol.

    I didn't know that .22 Meisters were still made so thanks for that. The Bisleys are an H&N pellet, i think they are known as Sport under their own brand.

    On this occasion go cheap! At 10m it wont make a big enough difference to matter, initially! Go cheap, shoot loads and practice, practice, practice!

    When you can regularly get sub 1/2 inch groups then fine tune.
    I started this life with nothing and I still have most of it left!

    Umarex Mosquito are similar, although not quite as good as Hobby. Much cheaper though

    This has been my experience as well.

    What qualifies as a .22 match pistol? Just curious. :-)
    Too many guns, or not enough time?

    Grip like an explosion in a plasticene factory. Fires square pellets. Expensive. Too long to fit in your pocket.
    Good deals with these members

    In my case a CP1 with the grip modified to fit the human hand, and Hobbies perform very well out of it right out to 25m.
    The South of England has 2 good things, the M1 and the A1. Both will take you to Yorkshire.
