    SMK 501 pellet size advice

    Just need a wee spot of advice, I got an smk 501, tried hades, jumbo exact and bisley magnums in it and the jumbo exact seem to group better than the rest

    I went to order some and noticed they came in four sizes, 5.5 - 5.53mm

    Just need some advice on what should run best through a co2 gun


    Thanks in advance

    if the groups aren't great, the barrel probably needs recrowning.. mine did, and accuracy was much improved afterwards
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    As above, unless storage oil still in from new (you need to pull through a new barrel with a patch)
    Also - 13.4's likely go well in a CO2 - (JSB RS)
    Looking for TO-6 Trigger unit unmessed with or T0-6 kit for 34

    Buy a JSB selection testing set, has them all for you to test.

    mine loved JSB, both 13.4 and 16.0 grain, once recrowned / cleaned.
