I got some r10 pistol pellets yesterday, & while there picked up a used hw40....
Anyway, the r10's work well in the 30, but not so good in the 40, or my 177 80k. Falcons work well in the 30 & the 80, but the 40 seems to really like ftt's.

Fellas please excuse my ignorance but what kind of target shooting is this you are talking about?
I don't shoot targets, I don't know anything about competitive shooting
But I'm looking for some flat head pellets for a certain kind of close range pest control.
For my .177 prosport
You guys are listing pellets I've never heard of.
I'm guessing the hw30 is the diminutive weihrauch Spring gun, which seems odd for target shooting
Or is it a different target rifle I'm not aware of?
Either way any suggestions for pellets for a legal limit .177 please?
I use FTTs for everything at the moment and want to try a wadcutter
Good deals with:
Dunn220, Leon, Bullcelt, stink£r, u.k.neil, supersharpshoot, william and airgun god, GEORGEY, telgun, Simon P and stubbs4612, Wellhouse0, harpo
The replies to date have been aimed at the target shooter - ie these that shoot paper targets at the international 10 meters distance and/or the national 6 yard distance.
The HW30S mentioned was chosen for use in the MPL postal series that is designed primarily for classic spring powered and SSP air rifles and pistols, but the MPL has also become the home for target shooting with any legal spring powered or SSP airguns at the national 6 yards distance.
As you suggest, the HW30S is a small sized air rifle, but it is proven to be a very popular choice for this discipline due to its size, weight and accuracy at an affordable price.
I am not sure how well a wadcutter pellet would perform at greater distances than these as they were designed to punch clean cut holes in paper targets where the previously mentioned distances are not too far - but I am sure someone here on the BBS will have tested them at longer distances (or for pest control use) and will be able to let you know.
