What pellets will work in a Crossman 600?

[Snooper601]

Hi Guys,

I recently bought a Crossman 600 .177 OOPS 22!!! but I have found that the selection of pellets that I have are all too short for the gun to cycle in semi-auto

Does anybody know which pellets will cycle properly without jamming the shuttle?

Tried Crossman Accupels, AA Field, Mozzies, Logun Penetrators, RWS Hobby, Defiants, and the only ones that will almost work are H&N Match heavy, but they are slightly pointed dome heads and get damaged and sometimes jam it up.
Let's try the .22 sizees next

Cheers

How about something like bismags?

Try bisley practice mate , they worked a treat in mine . Failing that try domed heads as the heads sits inside the pellet skirt allowing better loading .

Thanks for that idea, I'll see if anyone at Shepreth has some on Sunday, I'll also measure the shuttle depth to get a measurement for the length required, when I get home from work.

Any more suggestions?

Cheers

John,
If your 600 is in .177 it would be marked on the side as a Plinkomatic, and was made to shoot BBs, but if it is marked as a Crosman 600 it would shoot .22 pellets, and in my opinion it is best to use Crosman Vermin pels or Hobby, sometimes they work fine with H&N Field Target Trophy pellets, it is always best to use flat head pellets whatever calibre, your gun could be a 600 modified to shoot .177 pellets.
All the best,
Lawrie.

Didn't see that ... its a .177 plinkomatic

Listen to Lawrie as he knows these inside out !

Not quite what I thought it was then

I suspect that it needs a new thinner shuttle making that takes flat head .177 pellets then

flathead work best, crosman matchpells are good

Accupells also work fine in mine, maybe you got a fussy one (many are) !

(just noticed the .177 thing, very unusual, or a conversion)

[Snooper601]

Nope, just me being stooooooopid

Its .22 and my excuse is you don't load directly into the barrel and I didn't look down the sharp end as that's just a silly thing to do

Have to find some .22 flat heads now

Sorry for confusing everyone and apologies to Vic who sold me the gun and spotted my stupid question

Thanks for the suggested pellets, now to get some and try it out.

My 600 likes Wasps!......the purple ones! (5.5's!), it likes these even more than Hobbies!!

Cheers.

Ely Wasps are good in my 600, also Milbro Caledonian because they are "short" pellets and a better fit in the carrier. Trial and error though, these guns are very pellet fussy. The original adverts for these guns show Crosman domed pellets in use which must tell you something.
