I found the .177 excite hammer were really nice to (10m air pistol practice). Haven't tried the .22.

This is going to sound a bit weird, but I really enjoy opening a tin of RWS Hobby's, there's something about the ribs, the rebate in the tail, the angle around the head, the overall sharpness of the manufacture, that really sums up what a pellet should look like.
I guess it must be rooted in my first experiences of shooting air rifles, a target shooting club in a church hall in Dartford.
Could try Bisley Practice?
Very much agree with that sentiment.
Bought one tin of Hobby recently £12.50 and was sad to have to use the (slightly marked) lid from the old tin. The new one doesn't fit tightly enough evidence the 200 or so pellets strewn around the floor and furniture after lifting the tin out of the pistol case by the lid.
I do like screw-tops.

Another suggestion, Bisley practice, available at Uttings. Regards Max

The Crosman wadcutters do seem to go okay in the 2240.
A good few years ago, Joffy gave me some boxed 7.9 Premiers. None of his guns liked them. I tried them in my 95. Awesome. Better than Superdome, JSB Exact and AADF in this rifle. Very, very tight, consistent groupings. But then the FTT were better still.....

I'm like that, too!
I love the look of those shiny new pellets looking all cosy, nestling in the tin with their buddies.
And I'll never forget my first experience with the Hobby (and Diablo). I was fifteen at the time and had my first 35. We had very few shops closeby selling airguns / related gear, so a friend and I went to Sheffield on the train. Visited Sugg Sports and Guns & Ammo.
When I first opened my first tin of Hobby, it was the ribbing and the recessing details that stood out as well as the "heavy", thick scent and the dark look. I still remember it like yesterday. Wasps, I seem to remember, had a "sharper / crisper" smell?
