Russ, many thanks for posting the photos for me.
I had time for a shoot yesterday afternoon, & was playing with different pellets. out of interest shot a months MPL targets, using hobby pellets, & scored , 39-41-41-44-46-46=257, so a promising start, & cheap shooting if it likes hobby's !
Rob,

My '75 HV is very pellet fussy, and currently shoots Qiang Yuan Match the best.
Oddly enough, head-sorted Geco pellets also shoot well, though the sorting nullifies any savings in the purchase price !
Have fun & a good Sunday
Best regards

Looks in lovely condition... Did they actually make LH actions to go in LH stocks then? (I always assumed they were like yours)
Yes they did, but i like the loading this way, with the cocking arm on the left it would be awkward.
Little bit more pellet testing today, H&N finale & Bisley practice are looking good. Does anyone know if they are the same pellet ? the Bisley are made by H&N, & they look the same

My wife shot internationally with an Original 75 in the 70's, she actually had the first one in the UK, and we had extensive experience of them then, she used then RWS Meisterkugeln, (still available). But I'd advise now to use either RWS R10 4.50 8.3 gns, or Qiuang Yuan match in the same size and weight.
You can some times get good results with cheap pellets, BUT, they will not be so consistent, and the lead/alloy "mix" will not be so good for the bore and can result in a build up.
Pellets are so cheap, I see no logic in using any thing other than the best, and they are RWS R10 or Qiuang Yuan Match.
Have Fun
Robin

Thanks Robin,
Just been shooting again, now i'm starting to get used to the rifle, groups are starting to come together, Phatman(Russ) sent me some sample pack of pellets, so had 11 types to test.
RWS R10 rifle pellets, produced the best group at 7.5mm for 5 shots. QYS gave 4 shots under 6mm, then i snatched & the last one wet out to 12mm, so a bit more testing to do yet

Glad you are pleased with the rifle and it’s finally at its new home- it’s a little cracker. I never tried different pellets but actually used 4.5 R10 pistol pellets which it was quite happy on- a bit lighter but good quality. I also took the front sight weight/ shroud off to move point if balance back- it just pulls off though it does loose the sleek look. I also know I reversed the trigger- it just felt better and reduced reach by a few mm
Enjoy!
