dibbz2000 Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Anyone use the RWS S H Point .22 pellets? They came highly reccommended by a friend so I bought a few tins and have tried them on squirrels and rats, they are worst pellets ive ever used! I dont know what my mate was raving on about, but my hit/kill ratio has dropped hugely because of these damn things! Back to the shop to get some more accupels me thinks! Ive been using them in a webley raider 10, anyone else got experiences with them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVB Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Hi Dibbz, I use them but am by no means an airgun expert. The bloke in the gun shop recommended them to me when I bought a gun recently to control the squirrels. The seem to do the job for me (apart from when dispatching squirrels in cages - See post below). AVB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claytons Guns Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 I had a .22 hornet a year of so back and i used these, 25 - 30yd groups were excellent. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurcherboy Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Use RWS Superdome field line. They are 14.5 grm and more than capable if placed correctly LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 It has been said so many times, try different pellets and find one that you can group well and consistently with. Not much point if its precision engineered hollow-pointed Teflon coated all weather titanium hunting special pellets, if you can't hit anything with them you ain't killing anything Your mate was probably right, in his rifle they probably work fine..

Lord Geordie Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 As with a lot of other pellet manafacturers they MAY be using multiple dies for casting the pellets. You may have bought a batch from a die thats a tad tight causing the pellets to be a little on the slack side in the landz of the barrel. If the head is not engaging the Landz and is free to move about this COULD be your trouble. RWS super H points used to be great years ago in the early 90s when i used them but i moved on to H&N field target trophy and never looked back. As pin says try a few different pellets as long as they are of a flat dome type they should produce clean kills if you hit the right zones.

king ratcatcher Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 Dont blame the pellets, theres nout wrong with them, there made for close range shooting, my s16 loves em, and they hit very hard stick with accupell if your getting on well with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickHead Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 I used to use them upto 50 Yards. Seemed OK at the time, my Weihrauch PCP liked them. After using computer simulation, I decided on changing my pellets. You have to remember, it's not what anybody recommends. What do they know about the setup of your equipment and how it performs. At the end of the day, find the pellet that suits your rifle. I "used" to use accupels, but after having my rifle serviced, and the barrel Tetra'd, Accupels were of the menu. They lead your barrel up too much, in my opinion, unclean greasy and overated. That is what I think, take it with a pinch of salt though.

dibbz2000 Posted November 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 I guess your right, just my gun doesnt like the H points at all! Its been grouping the accupels well before the RWS. Can you get pellet tester pack from anywhere so I can try a few brands though my Webley & BSA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

30-6 Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 I have been using RWS super H points for a couple of months through an AA s200 in .22 on rats at close range (up to 20yds) with great results, although they group pretty well up to 30 yds. I heard about them in an airgun mag, and read that they are made of in a "softer type" of lead so as to deform quicker, and they give less chance of richocetts if a miss occurs around buildings (as if). However, I am now a bit reluctant to use them because when chambering them the skirt must be a quite tight fit, needing a lot of pressure on the loading bolt to fully push them home the last mm or so. It was suggested to me by other members on a previous post to be aware that this tightness of the pellet could give premature fouling of the barrel. Anybody else experienced this?

How many of each pellets did you get within it? It varied in each pack! Between 18-24 in each pouch They were great just to plink a few targets to which my gun likes!
