HW40 pellets choice?

[capt hindsight]

Hi, my HW40 isn't that pellet fussy, it likes RWS H-point, Jsb express, Crossman Premier hollowpoint and Bisley practice.

However I feel I've never really found the perfect pellet for it, so would love some more recommendations, what you using?

Cheers

Hi Ed,

The best pellets I’ve ever used with the HW40 were some JSB Match Diablo Light Weight in 4.48mm head size.

Completely by chance these pellets came with a HW40 purchase and they were superb so I’m assuming the previous owner had done his homework or struck lucky.

I’ve usually always preferred the usual bigger stated head sizes on pellets but that’s usually with rifles and was a tad dubious with the 4.48mm but they really were absolutely superb.

I did try to find some to order but could only find 4.49mm at the time and I think from our sponsors JSR but that pistol and pellets are long gone now.

Nowadays I would just use the usual RWS R10 Match or Hobbies etc

Interesting, the JSB express I have here perform consistently well in most gun but whilst ok, aren't anything to write home about in the HW40, they are 4.52, I will check out some narrower sized pellets 👍

Hobbies are always worth a try.
I've had good results with the cheapie Geckos too.

RWS Meisterkugeln work well in my. 22 P17 which is a Chinese copy of the HW40.

Last tin of Hobbies I had were ridiculously wide, not sure if that's normal these days but they got binned. They were so wide they jammed in the tube magazine of my little Gamo shadowmatic, and also jammed in the barrel of the Gamo compact I owned at the time. I've not looked at them since, no idea what was going on with them.

Been using the 7,33grs JSB RS in mine with great results.
Light low friction pellets are faster out the barrel, and thereby easier to shoot well.

I've only ever used the RWS Hobby in mine from day one. They perform that well that I've never been tempted to look elsewhere.

Rws r10

RWS Geco... I've found them to have an edge on Hobby in everything I've tried them in, last match pistol I had (Hammerli AP20), current HW40 and HW70 and the PP700SA I've just sold

Mine feeds on Geco's never had a problem with them, most of my pistols love them, great for the price, had some good results with the cheaper Econ's as well.

I wish I was at the stage of pellet testing my HW40. I find that it's me that lets the gun down and not the pellet.
