What pellets do you guys use for bell target.

[Unframed Dave]

Just tried accupel and it was like Dunkirk. Every shot that hit the plate ricocheted. Quite some distance as well.

Before the smart alecs chime in, I was deliberately hitting it.

[let me shoot it]

[Solvo]

try something that's mostly hollow. Accupel have a shallow skirt so are quite solid, might not be deforming well at low power.
My bell target is not a proper set up, so i shoot at distance and at full power... Rings loud

I do have to re-shape the face plate occasionally though

Nearly all at wakefield use jsb exact also leaves a nice pip so easy to score if you miss the bell��

[les allam]

I use AA field or Jsb exact.
I have read some where that some Bell target league only use rws super dome.

Once again, thanks all for your input. My main aim is to keep rebounds down. There is some slight opposition to this and, excuse the pun, I don't want to provide any ammo.

Cheers

[Shed tuner]

yeah, accys are very hard.
JSB are very soft.
soft and light is a good combo.

[TonyL]

I'd be tempted to use Hobbies, Dave. Nice and soft.

[Geezer]

soft and light is a good combo.

That’s what I tell Mrs Geezer.

Dave,

JSB Match (flat-heads) for me - soft lead, and split nicely.

Have fun & a good weekend

Some bell target clubs require the use of domed pellets only. This is because of the defined central mark they leave on the faceplate.

[Unframed Dave]

I'm gonna try and stick to dome heads, I'll do a bit of testing and see which gets the fewest flyers.
