FalconFN Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 JSB exacts in .177 4.52 washed and lubed, I use the same pellet for everything so that my shooting is consistant without changing variables ! Exactly the same but without all that washing and lubing palava. AA field 4.52 are the same/very similar and are also excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secretagentmole Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 I use the same ones that I use for hunting, that way I don't need to worry about trajectory changing! Crosman Premier Ultra Mag in the .177 and .22! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clubshot Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Real wast of time and effort - having a practise pellet & a Target / Hunting Pellet Find one that gives the Best All round Result - Will need less practise BOB/R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
contrysports Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 accupell in .177 for everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Bisley Practice for me, cheap and cheerful .22 AA field dome same reason as above I must be getting old, I don't rate these as cheap, and certainly the AA are a fine pellet, had very little experience with those Bisley!!

Jay Posted March 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 you lads have made some good points about using the same pellet for everything, for hunting I use AA diablo hunter 1.037gr straight out of the tin,for plinking I use any of the several tins of pellets I have bought in my search for the right one.

evo Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 use the same pellet for all your shooting,,that way you learn to know what you, your gun and your pellets are capable of,,bit daft IMO to use different pellets for different things, find the right pellet for your gun and stick with it,, all the best Evo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halight Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 .22 AA field dome same reason as above Same here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moorvale55 Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Always .22 Crosman Premier hollow points at 14.3 grains in my HW80K, as above, don't change pellets. When you find the pellet your rifle likes just stick with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ace_of_hearts Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 People here recommending the same pellet for everything, but what if you don't take your gun hunting (there is not a lot of info in the opening post)? Hence recommending something cheap if you just want something to muck about with. I think flat head pellets are fine for plinking, plus on paper targets leave a nice, easy to see hole.

NIGHT SEARCHER Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 (edited) It is amazing how the point of impact (POI) changes with different makes of pellets over even short ranges. For plinking or just messing I use Marksman pointed but only because I was given 3500 of them. But it means having to zero for the Marksman then Re-zero for my normal hunting pellets. Most of my guns are zeroed for RWS superdome. Crosman Magnum. Verminpell. I have 10 guns 3 spring 7 PCPs And i have to mark the guns up to what pellet is the most accurate for that barrel. One thing that dose surprise me is i find Verminpell a lot more accurate than Accupell. I find one of the best all rounder is RWS superdome accurate in most guns. RWS superfield are even better if you can find them. Happy Edited March 3, 2013 by NIGHT SEARCHER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sha Bu Le Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 I stick with RWS Superdomes for everything, find them very consistant in my 0.22 HW100 and in my 0.177 Lightning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goodo123 Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 I find rws are good, if you look at the skirt they seem to be double ridged, also found them consistent aswell, other ones I've tried for around the same price Dont seem to be as well made, to some I've tried to be positivly no use what so ever. I can't remember wha t they were but had some what seemed to leave loads of lead on your hands, was coming off like a powder, surprisingly these were pants.

Nescafem Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 I use H&N Baracuda 4.5 for my Hw97k and Jsb Exacts 15,89g for the AA s510 which is very very consistent and accurate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdsm10airgunner Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 two most accurate and consistent in my rifles were RWS superdomes and JSB exact in 0,22. i couldnt believe the difference even at very short ranges when testing so when i found a good one i kept it even if it costs a few pennies more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retromlc Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) Does lubing a pellet improve accuracy? Or does it just clog up your magazine ? If lube is good, which one?, I use AA fields in my HW100. .177 and it loves them, I started using them in my new BSA but it seems to having a few flyers, how many shots to run barrel in?so ordered a selection pack from eBay to see if there's a better pellet for the BSA Ultra SE .177, I'm getting good consistency then some random ones pellet on pellet, then back to bulleye, could it be the scope? The scope seems to go off zero quickly Edited March 18, 2013 by retromlc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
