    BSA 240 Magnum....Pellet Fussy !

    Got the .22 Magnum out yesterday. Not been shot for 6 months or so.
    Put several pellet brands through it with poor to average results and it was only the RWS Superdomes that showed any sign of decent grouping over a 6 meter distance.

    Any other brands I should try ?
    Ta !

    Ahh, my old Magnum. Glad it is still getting the od outing. Yes, it used to love RWS Superdomes, but it used to LOVE RWS Hobbies more iirc, so give them a bit of a go, and I'll see you at the Hallowed Hollow.

    I seem to recall RWS Supermags used to be my .177's favourites for accuracy, not sure about power as I didn't own a chrono back then.

    It may not be pellet fussy, it may just be crap

    Hands down the worst air pistol I own.
    Good deals with these members
