Light/loose pellets lower power in my Hw77K?

[bill57]

It's the popgun effect. The pellet has to be tight enough to hold on till a point of maximum compression, then away it goes. If it's loose it goes too early, before that point has been reached, so you haven't got maximum efficiency from the system.

I'm sure someone will explain it much better than me.

Your explanation is good, I’m just surprised at the difference that’s all!
It’s in .22 by the way, I forgot that part (in case it matters?).

Cheers, Matt

Nope, that's it. Loosey poopy, tighty righty! Or something.....

Properly fitting pellets will give a much nicer shot cycle as well.

Okay then, so my next question is - what is the best fitting/lightest/most accurate pellet for my gun?!

Try accupell or AA field diabolo but they are heavier, Both should be a good fit.

Been testing pellets myself in my 77k .177
Accupells and jsb both worked very well jsb being best over all
Hope that helps

H&N field target trophy .22 are 5.53. Very good accuracy, better than JSB or AA field in my 80 and 97k.

Still not tried either of those to be honest, they’ll go on my next purchase!

Only person who can answer that is you by testing different brands .
