Kidney505 Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Right I may be posting something that has already been brought up and I'm most certainly stepping in to a mine field but here goes... Personally I shoot Webely accu pell through a S400 and get very good restuts but I have a few questions: 1) Are Webley Acuu pell and Crossman Premier (Ultra magnum) the same pellet? 2) How to JSB exact compare with Accu pell 3) AA fields any good? - I heard they have quite thin skirts and have quite a few damged ones per tub and at £11 a pop there not cheap. 4) If you own a S400 what do you find work well with it?

UKPoacher Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 1. Yes 2. Little to choose between them. I personally favour JSB because they are softer so are better for hunting , but it is marginal. 3. Softer pellets like AA Field and JSB Exacts do suffer from rough handling. If you buy from JSR and find the batch faulty they will replace no questions asked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darren 67 Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 (edited) ive been using mosquito express .177 and think they are a flat and fast shooting pellet. Good grouping also but as lots will say not all guns like the same pellet you will have to try them to see what works best in your gun. Sorry meant to say thats with my aa s400.

UKPoacher Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 1) NO not in .177 Webley Accu Pell are a 7.9g pellet and Crossman Premier (Ultra magnum)are a 10.5g pellet, made by the same company but not the same pellet. Fair point. I failed to notice the Ultra Magnum part of his question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polish Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 For non FAC in .22 or .177 I'm in love with Promethius Defiants, they come in different sizes to match your barrel and are really well made. AA fields are my second choice. You can get them in a heavier variety for closer hunting applications. I also use RWS super fields in a Co2 gun, they seem pretty decent and have a good finish too, also not so expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaxiDriver Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 I currently use RWS Super H Point 15.43grain I think Seem well finished, clean and shoot straight and a reasonable £6.95 a tin(500) . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger955i Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 HI Mate I used to use H&N FTT in .177 & .22. Now I use AA Fields or JSB exact (which I am told are the same pellet.)I have heard people talk of bent or deformed ones but I can honestly say I have not come accross any. Also 4.52 Daystate is a good pellet. I have never got on with Accupel at all in any of my air rifles. Best to try a few and see what works best in your gun.

UKPoacher Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 (edited) AA Fields and JSB Exacts are not the same pellets although the difference is marginal. JSBs are slightly lighter in the tail and are the ones preferred by target shooters. Softer pellets are far better for hunting than hard pellets made out of zinc or tin alloys. They deform better on impact and thus transfer all their energy into the quarry whereas hard pellets can zip straight through and cause little trauma. This in my opinion is worth the extra care you need to handle them. Softer pellets like JSB Exact are almost exclusivly used by successful target shooters too which is another reason to use them. You'll find JSB make most of the successful pellets that are branded Air Arms, Daystate and others. Edited May 26, 2011 by UKPoacher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garden gun Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 Our Gamos love RWS pellets. .22 superdomes and points 14.5 grain do the job lovely. Relatively cheap and good finish - no swarf in the tin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevies400 Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 I use bisley super fields and have tried the Thunderbolt pellets in my S400. I get better grouping with the super fields but the Thunderbolts seem good for blattering rabbits. :yp: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan-250 Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 I use air arms fields mate, straight clean kill at 35 yards and head shot. I personally think they are well worth it. I also have a Tin of jsb 5.52 you can try them both when I see you but I prefer the Aa tho. Going to try the Aa hunter soon aswell. My s410 hates accupells they go all over the place never a consistent reading. I also have some hollow point which arnt to bad Upto about 25 yards, after they tend to fly off.
