    Exacts on the other hand I cant find a rifle that doesn't like them.
    Same here, used them for years and found them to be extremely good in everything, even at 30ft/lbs in my Rapid Mk1

    My Diana 280 does, which is fortunate as it doesn't seem to like anything else!!

    A couple of points...

    Superdomes are a large pellet, so consider other larger sized pellets (Bisley LRG for example, or hobby - but hobbies are also very ballistically inefficient see below)
    Superdomes are very inefficient through the air - so even if your FTTs (which are much more ballistically efficient) are leaving the muzzle with 1 FP less energy, at 25 yards there will be no difference, and FTT will have more energy further out.
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
