The pellet thread!

[Al Bundy]

Hi,
I've just bought a BSA Scorpion T10 in .177 and had a quick go with various pellets,mainly two groups at 50 yards.
I shoot with the front rested on a rolled up towel and my fist supporting the rear,and please bear in mind I'm not that good of a shot.

Hi,

The exams went very well thanks, glad to be finished though! I am just adding the last few bit of information from this thread and then I am going to do a page with the info you gave me (if you dont mind).

Cheers,

My .177" Mk3 TX200 HC has no problems with Crosman Premiers.

I know I'm far from the world's greatest shot (barely had the rifle 5 weeks), but I still pulled off a group that was 1/2" (by a hair) at 20 yards (outdoors) using them from prone - took me a while though, there must have been whole minutes between some shots.

My daystate X2 (which is 4yrs old) loves either jsb exacts or daystate ft select in 4.53

AA S400, S200 and EV2 mk1 all AA field .177 in 4.52 head size.

TX200mk3 very pellet fussy and again AA fields in 4.51.

Wow now that's some figures.

Seems like your T10 doesn't like Air Arms Field 4.51s

That's very interesting though Al. Good stuff.
