The pellet thread!

[Toby_2007]

Sorry to piss on your chips but what one person thinks is acceptable performance is another person's 'shotgun grouping'.

You need ranges and group size to make this meaningful.

If you do that though it will be very useful!

Dont worry, I like soggy chips

I just thought that it would give people a rough Idea as to what might work well in their rifle.

Lighten up Weevie. Where does it say 'ballistically sound scientific proof must be provided'.
It is only meant as a rough guide and might help ease the old "what pellet for this gun" question that comes up 5 times a week to which there is only one answer.
Let the lad have some fun and learn something to everyones benefit .

like the guy said right at the start - it's just meant to narrow the choice a bit

Brilliant idea !

[pieter]

Falcon FN19 .177 everything apart from piledrivers

penetrators 9.5 excellent 15grainers ok
jsb 4.52 excellent
AA 4.51 and 4.52 excellent
bismags 10.6 excellent
wasps 7.2 [1997 vintage] very good
and webley mossies 4.52 excellent

shot three groups at 40yds today using bismags and the tightest group was a single hole not wider than a .22 pellets lengthways [ very pleased ] although my girlfriend doesnt seem as enthusiatic

BSA Supersport .22 Napier Power Hunter
BSA Meteor mk 4 .22 and BAM DB4 .22 also likes Napier Power Hunter

[manxteddy]

Logun Axsor .22 Crosman Accupell, H&NFTT, BSA Elite but hard to load...too big.

See...I told you so.

What does 'like' mean?

What groups are you getting at what ranges?

This thread is meaningless without some frame of reference.

Weihrauch HW100k - .177 - Webley Mosquito Express, Daystate Select FT 4.53 (funnily enough, this rifle isn't so keen on JSB Exacts 4.51, 2 or 3!)
Logun Solo - .177 - JSB Exact 4.53

Both rifles are non-FAC and, mainly for Weevie's benefit , using the above pellets I get 25-30mm groups at a lasered 50yd range (must try harder! ).

Cheers,
Doug

See? Because he's given us some figures, we now know that termin8R can't shoot!

Seriously though that extra bit of info makes all the difference.

- wish I could have shot groups like that with my Meteor in the mid '60s - dammit - given my age away too,now!
