Catweazle Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 Yes mate need a quick change so I had a cuppa and a flick through whilst she settled I remember it well (It's worth it though, even though it might not seem like it at 3am after a few weeks of sleepless nights).

steve_7 Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 as said ..... its about a well placed shot ive found RWS super domes to be very consistantly accurate in my Hw100 (177) that what i found best, although in the summer rabbits seemed to have a little more spirit than previously, dont ask me why but others have said the same, otherwise ive never had a problem in my hw100 fsb tk in .177 with rws superdomes, usually instant clean kill...all the best steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evo Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 (edited) 1st,, you have not had your hw100 long and imo i think you need to find out what pellets suit your rifle best for good grouping (try different pellets) 2nd,, get out and spend hours practicing with your rifle on the range at your chosen distances (hopefully between 20 + 35yrds) and with the pellets that suit you rifle best 3rd,, once you have mastered what you and your rifle and pellets are capable of then its time to take this out on the field even tho i have used air rifles for over 35 yrs i still go out and plink to check my scope check the pellets are still performing well but most of all to check how accurate my gun is when i bought my huntsman, i spent hours and hours trying different pellets out and found that JSB Exact were the most accurate, i then spent weeks testing what the gun was capable of and at what ranges with the chosen pellets it was not until i was 100% certain of its and my capabilities with the gun that i took it out into the field pellet placement is a must to ensure clean kills and as said previously pellet choice is also important to YOUR RIFLE ONLY,forget about the weight just get use to where you can place the pellet on a target good luck and enjoy your shooting cheers evo Edited December 24, 2012 by evo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retromlc Posted December 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 All good advice,much more time and practice to come,I would expect that you could buy a selection pellet package from someone rather than buying 3 tins at a £10 each,J ramsbottom might do something like that?

NIGHT SEARCHER Posted December 25, 2012 Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 Loads of pellet selection packages on ebay. You will not go far wrong with. RWS Superdomes or Superfields. Accu-pell or Vermin-pell. Air Arms Field. JSB Exact. Bisley Mags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longbower Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 My Regulated AA S200 177 seems to prefer RWS Superdomes, Whereas the Reg'd BSA Ultra prefers JSB Jumbo exacts. Its what works for you and your rifle as a combination. There are so many other things that have to be considered when you get to your permission, that can affect an accurate shot and achieve the clean kill we all must desire.

You could visit South East Airgun Club, it's friendly and not too far, I'm sure the guys there would help you with a selection of pellets to try and they always have a load of targets out from 10yds to 60yds. They do close over mid winter, so check before you visit. http://www.freewebs.com/stumpy1966/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo33 Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 The OP asked for a heavier pellet which i and many others answered. Thankyou. Yes you're right he did BB, but the reason he wan't killing them wasn't the pellet weight, so the thread diversed into more helpful advice.

So why you need to comment is beyond me just read the posts fully. Why is it that you have to try and start a fight on virtually every thread you get on Nightsearcher? Simple question. Try if you can and enlighten us all as to why you do it? No, you read my post 38 and take it on board. Seems a perfectly ok post to me. You obviously have a sensitive side re your reaction to my post 24 and Bruno's response. Shall we make the airgun section for your supreme skill and knowledge only so we don't make you lose your cool and upset you? Grow up!!

turbo33 Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 (edited) Exactly Mick! You(and we have all been there including me) seemed to not be confident of your pellet choice. My post 24 and the attached video was to the point and merely to reassure you that you were ok with what you had. Bruno backed it up for the sake of avoiding further confusion and got pushed into apologising for nothing. Totally unnecessary reaction from some.

NIGHT SEARCHER Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 I Have not said a thing about your post 24 it was very good advice and a good vid. Yes you're right he did BB, but the reason he wan't killing them wasn't the pellet weight, so the thread diversed into more helpful advice. Not having a go Has for this post you say you are not having a go. It looks like a pop at BB to me. It`s not me that needs to Grow up.

What part of me reassuring BB "I'm not having a go" means I am. This is supposed to be a thread to help a fellow pw member enjoy his sport and get over a few hiccups. You're seeing things that aren't there and your input is not helpful. Go and start a fight elsewhere as I'm not going to take your bait.

bullet boy Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 Lads Lads! Can I say I am not offended by anyone in any shape or form. I gave out what I think is good advice on heavier pellets which I have been using myself for many many years. Let's forget this matter and all get along which as proud and responsible Shooters we should do. ATVB to you all. Happy New Year to you and happy and safe shooting in 2013.
