    I used to use these quite effectively in my Hatsan 60S up until about 2 years ago. Then when I came to buy another tin, they seemed to be oversize (.22) as only about 1 in ten could be persuaded to enter the breech. Those that did were all over the place. I told the vendor and he swapped tins for me, but the same was true of the new tin. That's the last time I used them. Don't know whether they have changed since then but I've moved on to other pellets now and after that experience, I probably won't use them again.

    I use them in my .22 Scorpion as they were spot on, that was confirmed when my rifle came back from John Bowkett and his 50y test sheet showed them to group better than all the usual suspect he tests with...
    and they also grouped well anyway as my barrel is very unfussy

    They were always my base line pellet in .22, every .22 I've had shot them very well.
    In .177 the slightly pointed powerpell was usually the best.

    Like all pellets other peoples views are only a guide, I've found them good in the past, but seldom the best, could be worth it though getting them local if there is not much in it?

    Both my .22 HW100 and HW97K shoot very well with them.

    I use the Ultra Mag in my 22 BSA's, I bought in bulk from Uttings with one of their voucher offers and it worked out great .
    I'm not sure if Ultra Mag are exactly same as Accupel or not, perhaps someone can help with that -

    I used to use accupells in my .22 BSA Ultras, but then those barrels were superb and shot almost anything well (whatever grief I give BSA, they make a bloody good .22 barrel).
    As others have said, a few years ago Accupells seemed to change and didn't group well in my other rifles, and I no longer own an Ultra. Now I favour JSB Exact which seems to do well in most rifles in most calibres, if you take the time to try a couple of different head sizes. JSB are certainly softer, which may work better with springers in general.
    Good deals with these members

    Never really rated them until the last couple of weeks when I was forced to use them in my 77k .177. Unbelievably accurate and consistent. I then tried them in my .177 80 and they have really blown me away. So I've ordered another tin just to be sure.

    None of the .22s I've had liked them.

    Agree with you on this, I used to try them out in my pellet testing stage when I got a new rifle but they just never seemed to group at all, so now I don't bother.

    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in
