Best springer pellet???

[utectok]

Ok for my 1970s old HW 35 that I've been repairing what's the best pellet I'm keen to get my groups down a bit!!

Cheers Will

This is something that I'm looking into at the moment Will.

Just bought an air rifle off my mate. But the advice that I've been given is the old 'pellet pack test'

You can get them on fleabay, you pay about a tenner for 20 pellets of about 5-6 different brands and see which ones group the best.

all air rifles like differet pellets so try as many as you can. my mark 1 i think it is .22 webley vulcan absolutely loves rws superdomes i can get at my 10 yard zero range 1/4 inch groups and at 20 yards with a rest 3/4 inch groups. even managed to hit a three inch clump of mud at exactley 48 yards. basically just try many different types and you will find the right one and when you do stick with it

You can't go too far wrong with JSB exacts or express. Failing that the H&N trophes are recomended by hw.

[utectok]

Cheers I'm trying h&n at the mo!

Give RWS superdomes a try.But as said try others too.Every rifle has its own wants.Happy and safe shooting.Jim.(Night Owl).

Super domes seem the best I have yet tried. I've worked pretty hard on the gun replaced seals piston spring etc still only managing 2" groups at 25 meters (27 yrds) I have no idea if this is good or bad for a 1970s hw 35 perhaps it's me or should I keep tinkering?

I use RWS Superdomes in my Cometa 400S they work great for hunting and target's as well

Try different types to see what suits your rifle.

Ok borrowed some rws super point got the group down to about 1.5" at 27 yrds which isn't too bad also ordered some super h point to try!?

A lot of people recommend lighter pellets for spring guns. I find JSB Exact RS are the best in my Prosport. They are 7.33 grains and seem to fly flatter with excellent accuracy and consistency over the chrono'. They also do the business on vermin. They are £9 a tin delivered from Intershoot.

 

If want something a little bit heavier JSB Exact Express weigh in around halfway between the RS and standard Exacts.

ftt`s.

one of the best pellets on the market.

[utectok]

Ok managed a proper touching pellet group at 25 meters with jsb exact jumbo pricy but consistent and seem to go pretty flat

I have 3 springers and 7 PCPs and i get great results with Crosman premier or RWS superdomes but the best are the new RWS superfield they are a little bit heavier than domes and are great for Target or Hunting out to 50 yds. Happy

[darrenb47]

i use RWS superfield in my hw99s with very good results ..

[XdunstanX]

H&N are best for Weihrauch springers. I've chronographed hundreds of them and they always get the best power from the FTT.

H&N Barracuda works best for my HW97 .177 aswell

whichever pellet you try you might want to try the slightly larger pellet for your gun eg. 4.51, 4.52. or 5.51, 5.52. the reason being that as it is an old gun and assuming that it has been well used the barrel wont be as tight as a new gun and the slightly larger pellet will give a better tighter fit for the barrel which should result it tighter groupings.

 

I was told this few years back and it certainly worked for the webley eclipse i have. i use jsb exact 5.51s.

 

but you will still need to try a few to find what suits your barrel.

 

hope this helps.
