chrisjpainter Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 As with sub 12, whichever suits the gun best; there's no perfect one size fits all pellet option. FAC guns can take the heavier pellets very well, so Bisley Magnums, JSAB Jumbo Exact Heavies, or the H&N range of heavier ones would be good options, but only if they group well! What cal. is the gun? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbo33 Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 As Chris said above, give a few a try. The Air Arms heavy 18grns are particularly good in mine at 27 ftlbs, as are Bis mags. But I tend to use the Bis mags on the 38 ftlb setting and the AA heavy on the low, for the same trajectory The AA's are softer, so they deform well. I find the 18grns are a little unstable at the higher MV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash72 Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Hi Brian (happy shooter) Hope you are well. The FEO came yesterday and approved my request for .22 FAC air. Are you still willing to sell your air ranger? If not, can you keep your ears open for a gun for me. Would really like to buy it if possible. Take care, Crash I tried sending you a message but your inbox is full or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evo Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 its 5.5 .22 around 28 fp if its shooting 28ftlb then use jsb exacts 15.89g they will be accurate and have a flatter trajectory but as said pick whatever groups the best in your rifle atb Evo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickmep Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 using normal airarms diablo field in my 40ft/lb airwolf. think they are around 16 grain. don't have a problem with the grouping and like the flat trajectory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oddjobs Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 This would depend on the power of the rifle. For example your FAC rifle may only be pushing 18ftpds or is it nearer the power of a Benjamin Rouge 357 (of which I would love to own) and uses pellets over the 100 grain mark but kills sheep and wild boars.

Clubshot Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 As heavy as the FAC rifle will shoot accurately. Interesting picture - Was @ Phoenix meet the other Sunday - watched Gallery Rifle competition - where the .44 underlever seemed the favorite rifle of Choice - BOB/R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
