    I like Hobbys. They're clean, not too expensive and definitely not to blame for bad shots.

    I use JSB Exact for Bell Target as well. Simply because its a decent pellet that works well in 95% of the airguns. I use it in all my 4.5mm vintage rifles for bell target.
    Easy; that way I cant forget which pellet to use for which rifle
    For 10m rifle: RWS R10 for my Walther LG300
    My Alfa Proj CO2 Rife : Finale Match pistol
    Tau mk300: Daystate Rangemasters/CPs
    Tau 200 BT: CPs
    Tau mk200 RWS R10

    So not all matchrifles prefer flatheads

    paul1969,

    All my rifles/pistols like RWS R10 Pistol 4.50 (6.99 gr.) - when I bought them in bulk (30000 pellets) some time ago, prior to the GBP - Euro exchange fiasco, I got them for ca. £6.50 per tin.

    I also use, and really like, the various flavours of the JSB Match pellets, with the 'Green' (4.50, 7.33 gr.) being used the most.

    Get a pellet sampler and have at it

    Have fun & a good Sunday

    Best regards

    Russ

    Another vote for JSB match green- been using them for some time with very good results. Not sure if our sponsor sells them?

    Hobby pellets work very well in my Bell Target HW30S and R10s give even tighter chrono readings but had bad experiences with Bisley Practices giving wildly erratic chrono figures.

    Changed from JSBs to Superdome in my Tesro, for Bell; the JSB gave a bigger more indistinct center spot than the Supers, also one tin gave some very ''odd'' wagon wheel star outline marks on a bell plate. For 10m many shooters use Geco's not just for practice either; my Tesro seems pellet fussy with flat nose, outstanding by far is a pellet called P.B. sadly not on sale in the uk but easily bought in Germany, I got a tin gifted to me and they beat everything else I had tried. So I use R10 , also RWS Meisters seem as good along with H & N; all seem to be about the same, certainly much better than I am now.
    The best advice is beg some off other shooters, try about 10, and then try for grouping, I am lucky in that the shooting centre has an amazing cradle that will show results to the best possible degree; its all about trial and error then if needed, balance results with budget.
