pin Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 I'm sure an owner or two will be along in a second to help, but have a look at http://www.pellpax.co.uk/acatalog/Pellpax_SAmple_Packs.html if you fancy trying a load of different ones to see what works best for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wickedandlazee Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Can't answer for a HW80 in particular but those H&N do fine in my AAS410K and I know quite a few people who use em too. I used to use accupels but there were always quite a number of damaged pellets in the tin. Not so with the H&N and they also appear to be a lot harder too. On the range with .177 I get ****** all varaition from 6-45 yards when zeroed at 37 yards and as I say I very rarely get any duff pellets. Pins suggestion is also a good idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the last engineer Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 ran accupels for a long time with good results, cleaned the bore and run prometheus wadcutters and points now, terrific penetration. Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Every gun is different, so you will have to give a few types a go and see for yourself ideally. In .22, as a rule the european guns tend to like the smaller pellets, and english guns like larger. For example, eley wasp are sold in 5.6mm or 5.5mm. The 5.5mm is a fairly new addition due to the larger one not working in a lot of modern european guns. Old webley and BSA guns prefer the 5.6mm because they have a fairly loose bore. H&N are german (I think) like the HW80 is, so they should go through it fairly well. Also, don't get yourself too heavy a pellet. No springer works to it's best with a heavyweight pellet, and you will lose a bit of power. What calibre is the gun? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted January 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 it is .22, i have never liked to use .177. i would normally use accupell but half the tin was normally pellets that where slightly damaged at the back end. cheers for everyones advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abodeofbliss Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 whats the fps on your weihrauch makes alot of diffrence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conygree Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 assuming the HW8O and my HW90K have simular barrels, I found accupell wouldn't group well at all but did in a Webley longbow. For me I found H&N FT best followed by the largest AA. the worst in both guns were the Marksman pointed. Most pellet info gives weight but not diameter.

SNAKEBITE Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 It took me a while to work out the pellet size on the AA pellets! (It is on the yellow "price tag" on the bottom of the tub ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conygree Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 After getting a shot gun spread with my HW90K but my sons Longbow was fine with the same pellets, I started trying to sort the problem - part was winter so the barrel contracted - so in summer it wouldn't group. Also it was low on pressure - on correction it raised the zero point by 200mm at 25m {plus me being a **** shot, plus I blamed the scope}. Most target .177 pellets are sized but not many .22, on measuring up .22 pellets with a micrometer, not easy being made of soft lead, eash type varies alot the good makes are very consistant but the cheap ones vary alot. Its a case of buying a tin of each make to give different diameters then test them. The AA come in x3 sizes, heavy, accurate and very consistant I am using H&N FT bit lighter consistant, my son can clover leaf at 35m from a sitting position. Also speeds vary with our .177 Evolution different pellets can vary by 120fps. Now the problems are sorted its a great but heavy gun but as my son said," if I lock the scope on a target, consider it dead". x3 pellets x3 kills sunday He could have shot more if he hadn't got bored and out came his camera phone and started setting up x2 squirrels on the HW90 as if they were shooting a pigeon to show his mates.

Cyber Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 setting up x2 squirrels on the HW90 as if they were shooting a pigeon to show his mates. c'mon then, we want to see the pic hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conygree Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 I'm not sure how to transfer the pics onto my nhs computer, but they are good, many thanks. He really made a big mistake after shooting, after playing with his phone so much the battery went flat, so he used mine to txt his girlfriend - and I got his well 'Hot' reply.
