SNAKEBITE Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 The simplist answer to this one is............ USE THE PELLET THAT GOES BEST IN YOUR RIFLE. It might take a bit of time sorting through all the pellets that are on the market but once you have found the pellet that best suits your barrell then stick with it.

Riothedog Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 Whatever hits the target will do. Instead of absolute power and peneratrative ability, go for the one that hits the target consistantly. That way,if you want ot do a head shot on a squirrel then that is what you will do. Accuracy equals consistancy and viccy verky. RTD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancs Lad Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 use exactly what I use for hunting as I do when Im on the range. Daystate FTS in .22. Will change pellets if doing closer range work - bisley mags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never managed better than 6" with them. personaly i stick with the pellets that group best in my rifles "JSB exacts" sub 1" groups on a good day at 50 yards.

Sniper-Blend Posted February 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 I agree that the huslers are not good on grouping and that is why i only use them for targets at 20yards, at that range the worst groupings i get are 1inch and sub if im lucky, i have tryed them at ranges like 40 and the groupings are well bad, I have found that the closer the range is then the better the groupings and the worst if your range gets bigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sniper-Blend Posted February 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 Think i will try some diff combinations of pellets at verious ranges ranges and see what i get but for now i think im better sticking to what i know and thats accupel for hunting and i also think i will stop using hustler as the groupings are bad. Thanks guys you have been a great help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
