Accuracy at 20 yards isn’t accuracy. It’s just coincidence. A pellet has to be really bad not to manage grouping at that range. Some manage it though.
Try JSB.

Are Sihouettes still available? I find them great in my old Webley Junior and Diana Model 24 but the one tin of .177's I had is getting woefully low.

Try some RWS Hobbys, my 80 and 95 get on quite well with them, in fact I won't use anything else in them
As you've already tried FTT, as per some above posts, give the JSB derivatives a try (quite a few to go at) and also the RWS Hobby.
Bear in mind that if the rifle's running at 11.2 with 'Domes, it could quite easily be over with other pellets, so power test with as many as you can. The 12ft.lbs limit is an absolute figure, obtainable with ANY pellet and not just the ones you use.
Maybe get some sample packs to save on costs?
P.S. By the way, not knocking the good old Superdome, as many of my rifles like them in both .177 and .22 and I'd regard them as a reliable performer (if not the absolute best) in many guns.

No one has mentioned AA Diabolo fields yet. A very good pellet, suits lots of rifles.
jsb express 14.35g only a tad less weight than 14.5g superdomes-top pellet in my .22 hw95 and falcon accuracy plus 13.43g too would a good starting point.
That's a shame as they are light and loose enough to suit the Webley Junior. I've tried Hobbys and Gecos but either they are too tight or are heavier than the Silhouette which I think worked well through having a smaller head and thinner skirt. Ah well I may have to resort to rolling some pellets between two hardsurfacesto reducethe diameter. I'll start withsome Superdomes and see how I get on with them and perhaps Accupells.
Thanks for that info

Looks like your gun likes ammo about the 14.5gn weight.
If you check out the following attached link to a pellet weight database you may be able to find something more suitable and quicker

A couple of points...
Superdomes are a large pellet, so consider other larger sized pellets (Bisley LRG for example, or hobby - but hobbies are also very ballistically inefficient see below)
Superdomes are very inefficient through the air - so even if your FTTs (which are much more ballistically efficient) are leaving the muzzle with 1 FP less energy, at 25 yards there will be no difference, and FTT will have more energy further out.
Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
