    RWS Basics. Introduced to me by ZOOMA (Bob) and now used by a vast majority of our and Rochdale AGC club members in their pistols but as already stated the '30 is suitable for pistol pellets.
    I use them in my '30.

    Oh, and they are far cheaper than R10s

    Hw30

    Another boring answer saying RWS Basics, cheap as chips & outshoot most people, in most guns,

    Haven't got the figures to hand but some chrono testing with my modded HW30S showed R10 (pistol) to give the tightest fps readings with Hobby pellets not quite as consistent but still respectable. Used exclusively for 10m/Bell Target shooting, I'd say the accuracy of both was pretty good but I'm the limiting factor in those tests.

    However, Bisley Practice were absolutely terrible through my barrel with a string of 20 shots varying over 100fps high to low. Never seen a gun react so badly to a particular pellet since I tried those Prometheus things in my HW77 in the '80's.

    The same tin of pellets work ok in other guns so that makes my 30 at least pretty pellet sensitive but then, the 30 isn't as well made as Weihrauch would have you believe.

    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.
