I'd also give the new 33.96 grain JSB Beast a go if your gun can push them to decent speed. There have been some rather promising reports of that pellet. The best .22 100M groups I've seen so far have been shot with JSB Heavies.

Bisley Magnum - great accuracy and consistency.

Ive got some Bisley Magnums. Going to give them a try.......

I use this , no matter what pellets I've tested It always decreases group size.

Again evidence that there is no one answer. I used this after cleaning pellets to stop them oxidising; did not see any improvement compared to either ‘out-of-the-tin’ or ‘cleaned’. What has happened, after a number of months, is the lube has gone sticky, it will need washing off again.

Don't forget jsb express 14.35g,falcon accuracy plus 13.4g\jsb rs 13.4g,webley accupells 14.3g.All these give a flat tradjectory in 12fpe and are very accurate subject to the individual barrel of course.

I picked up a 2 shot venom raider that i'd had resealed & when i was putting the stock back on at home 2 bisley magnums fell out the shuttle that were covered with a sticky waxy gunk, i wondered what that was , thanks for solving the puzzle.

I wonder if the likes of pre-lubed Napier pellets also suffer from that issue, or if they use a different formula. Hadn't noticed any particular issue on the odd tin I've used it with.

Remember you are addressing a UK based audience and the OP says nothing about his being an FAC rated rifle so the JSB Beast will be far too heavy.
My recommendation for UK legal limit is to test between Crosman Accupells (14.3 grain) JSB Exact (15.9 grain) and H & N FTT (14.7 grain). In my view whilst buying a load of test bags may be the perfect answer in an ideal world, the OP should be able to go straight to a shortlist of the most likely pellets which will suit his rifle based on the collective experience on this forum.
For FAC use I have never found anything better than the Bisley Magnum aka Baracuda which at 21 grain is hard hitting and usually accurate in all FAC rifles but I would keep the MV below 900 ft sec for best results. I have tried others which work well but are all stupidly expensive by which I mean an air rifle pellet costs more than an entire .22LR round from an established manufacturer. This to me is crazy but others are free to differ as always.

Nick,
I think you have taught me something tonight. I bought some accupell ft recently and they have been truly awful in everything so far. Your post made me wonder if accupell and accupell ft are one and the same. It appears not! Please don't anyone else make the same mistake.

Thank goodness you had the same results with the FTs. "Probably the most accurate airgun ammo" my Aunt Fanny. Accurate in what, I wonder?
