Sha Bu Le Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Has anyone used these thru a HW100? Circumstances forced me to buy a tin, mostly cos there are only 2 shops that sell pellets in this town. Both have limited choice and one is a rip off merchant. Anyhoos after re-sighting I was getting 5/6mm variation in point of impact at 20 metres, bench rested. And I stayed off the drink last night. With RWS SD's its normally pellet on pellet at that range. Cheers fellas Bri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les*1066 Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 I stopped buying .22 Accupell's several months ago - as did a lot of other airgunners I know - because they were going all over the place. All my .22 air rifles used to love Accupell's, so I'm now back to the stage of trying to find something that they all like. It's a right royal PITA!

Sha Bu Le Posted May 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Thanks for that Les, I'll just use these for plinking and get some RWS Superdomes as soon as. I've read on here that JSB Exacts and H&N Fields are pretty good but at a cost. Hope you find your ideal pellet soon. Bri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evo Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 5/6mm at 20mtrs is very good for a HW100 , in fact its brilliant,, :lol: on a serious note, accupell are not very good in .22 and havn,t been for a while, the pellet is much harder nowadays, accupell FT ,s work well in .177, give the jsb,s 15.89gr a try, or bisley long range gold,s both excellent pellets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secretagentmole Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 I use Crosman Premier Ultra Magnums, cheaper and better... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyflier Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 I don't recall the "seam" that is visible on the dome of the new accupel. When Crosman made them, I thought them to be brilliant with shot on shot grouping. Recently this seam has appeared and it looks like the pellet has been made in two halves then joined together. That has to affect accuracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabhui Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 You can get JSB pellets at a decent price and with fast delivery from www.jsb-diabolo.de Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corkycorksta Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Yup Accupell rubish in my HW100 - though it's in .177 In fact they produced the worst groups of any I tried. Bisley magnum oddly enough give me the tightest group and discovered this by accident after a similar lack of choice in a local shop.

oliver90owner Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Not your gun make but I have just fòund they seem to spray around a bit with an s410. I noticed that the skirts were variable - some falling into the magazine and others needing a prod. Not sure how much that affects the velocity and/or direction, but worries me a little. Now have some silver steel to make up some go/no go sizing checkers. Slow progress, but I will get there eventually (hopefully!). I'm no expert metal worker/metallurgist and need to accurately machine the steel, harden and temper, then ream a series of drillings. Easy, perhaps, if it was the only thing on the go! So many things to do, so little time and not much energy, I'm afraid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evo Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 You can get JSB pellets at a decent price and with fast delivery from www.jsb-diabolo.de correct me if I,m wrong,,but arn,t they based in Germany,and you will need to add postage surely it would be just as cheap to order from home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabhui Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Yep they're based in Germany but even with shipping they work out much cheaper than anywhere I can find in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has to affect accuracy Just checked the tin I bought they too have a seam which goes up both sides of the skirt and across the dome, however the lead 'fill in' does not have a seam I think it may be a 3 stage operation to assemble them. Got to affect the ballistic properties as the seam is not totally flush. Won't buying any more. So Mr Accupell if by any chance you are reading this thread take note of what your customers are saying.

manthing Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Tin I bought a few months ago says Webley on it. Last tin was Crossman. Have to watch them. To be fair I use AADF's almost exclusively, only got some more as the old ones where only a few clicks to rezero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

secretagentmole Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) Webley. Webley do not make anything anymore! The guns are either Turkish or Chinese, pellets are bought in, they are just a name! Edited May 26, 2015 by secretagentmole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
