    In 12 fpe springers one of these usually works:
    RWS: Superdomes, Hobbys
    JSB: Exact, Express, RS (or rebrands like AA etc)
    H&N: FTT

    A lot of older pellets can work well too, but the listed ones are still made.

    fit a tinbum short stroke nose and a guide set.. it'll shoot nicer and change which pellets it likes anyways

    H&N FTTs are a great bet in HW barrels. Also try the FAPs
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    I'd fit a Titan No 10 spring with a bit of extra preload to bring it up to power. That is what I have in mine and it makes a lovely soft recoil. Plus a tune kit to fit like a Tinbum one (if it fits the spring).

    If the Eley wasps are original ones then they are worth a lot more than you paid for them.

    Yeah, but some rifles need the RWS pellets. Probably not an 80 though, as they have sensible breech tapers and "5,5mm" barrels.
