tango Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 so i was down at the gun club last nite, and ran out of my JSBs about an hour and half in , had with me a tin of RWS superpoints with me that i hadnt tried before..what a complete waste of money these where, they where all over the damn place, left, right, below. not just by a bit, were talkin like 1/2in or more either side at 30yds. so grabbed a few of my mates superdomes to make sure it wasnt me and they where spot on bull... ...so to conclude, i know this is only my opinion and others will differ..but these are the worst pellets i have shot and will NEVER buy again or recommend these to anyone! so now ive got basically a full tin (less 20 pellets or so) of these doing **** all at home.....anyone want em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexr Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 (edited) Thats funny. I usually use AA's but had to get some RWS when I ran out on a range. They were auful. they seem quite insubstansual and would not group. Knowing that the rife was sigted for the AA's I just gave up rather than footering about with it.

mart46 Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Ha! you wanna try Bisley pest control. Anything beyong 15 yds and you're better off with a catapult Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlander Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 i tried a tin of these a few months back and was appalled the best grouping i got was about three inches wide lowlander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 (edited) Always a difficult one this as two rifles off the production line next to each other can like totally different pellets. Some of the RWS are certainly ok, but mine likes AA Fields and Bisley Magnum...my last Daystate loved Accupells but my Falcon hates them... Worst pellets I have used are the Prometheus!

bruno22rf Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 To match the accuracy of prometheus simply throw a handfull of them into the air and hit them towards the target with a tennis racket-Hey Presto you've just produced as good a group as your likely to get.

paul1966 Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 i would have thought bulldog would have been the winner of the worst pellet, or are they better than i thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttalbot09 Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 pointed pellets are waste of time. accuracy is pathetic what the point of having the penetrating power when it cant hit the target Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKPoacher Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 i would have thought bulldog would have been the winner of the worst pellet, or are they better than i thought. Maybe. But Bulldog are three quid a tin. Prometheus are five times that for the same result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet boy Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Prometheous Paragon-Shocking!They may look the Biz but they are not especially when you get the plastic of the skirting stuck in your rifling!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisbey.22 Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 (edited) Big and ongoing debate this. I use superpoints in my old smk 78 and find them great for pigeon@ even at 35 yards 22 flavour. Also I use prometheus dynamic in my bsa ultra ms 177 they will take down funniest approaching 50 yards. My springer gets Wisbey mags or top end domes and all my rifles get. Bisley practice at club. I've tried all sort@ and like what I use now. It's personal choice. Get a pellpax selection an# find whatever is right for you. I hate predictive text input. Edited March 14, 2010 by wisbey.22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tango Posted March 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 I've always thought that Superpoints are good pellets? i didnt know if they were any good or not, i just wanted to try a pointed pellet out...but its not RWS as a whole as am going through a tin of superdomes now and cant fault em, up to par with JSB exacts so far, took 2 magpies and a crow yesterday evening with em when i got back from fishing, all over 25yds, accuracy with these seem spot on.

MPT1 Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 I use Dynamics, they do pass through at close range, but I've found that with pigeon or crows a side on shot kills at close range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
