    Alternatives to RWS Hobby .22 cal.

    My fave plinking pellets have been reclassified "rocking horse shit".

    What, if any alternatives are available with parity in quality and weight?

    My EB22 just loves them.

    SMK Spitfires sound a tad dubious.

    I've not been able to get any .22 Hobby either, and loathed to go cheaper, even though it is only for scaring tin cans in my .22 pistols

    I got some JSB flat head .22 but have yet to open and try them
    TX200 .177 21mm TL | TX200HC .22 22mm TL | Prosport .22 22mm TL
    HW40 | HW45 | Diana Mod5 | Webley Senior....... Because PCP is like kissing your sister (apparently)

    I've ordered some flatheads from JSR.

    You talk about Hobby pellets one of my favourites but i miss the good old .22 Eley Wasps of years ago, a good all rounder, i wish these came back as well. I bought a tin of Eley wasps in .177 but they were nowhere like the traditional pellet more like HN pellets, shame.

    In 22,if you are not too proud to use them, I would suggest Gamo Pro Hunter, 5.5 at 1gm. I tried some of these in an old Titan Bearcat, the result was amazing, 10 pellets, bench rested, through the same hole at 25 yds and they are cheap.
