old man Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 Talking only Air Arms. What size pellets perform most accurately in your .22 HW80 .551 or .552? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evo Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 your best bet is to try them for yourself,,ALL barrels are different so what works in my barrel might not work in yours,, in my HW80 I personally found jsb 15.89g the best pellet by far, they certainly performed better than the air arms equivalent can I ask " why only air arms " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old man Posted August 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) Yes Sir, Air Arms at the moment as .551s gave tightest groups of all tested including JSB's but not .552s. Edited August 1, 2015 by old man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 If you think it makes a difference then buy both-I'm still firmly in the camp that believes that a soft lead pellet cannot be manufactured to such a tight tolerance-simply keeping them in a pouch around your neck would be warm enough to expand them by .1 so .01 is a bridge too far-concentrate on the quality of the pellet IMHO and don't bother getting caught up in the micron mayhem that seems to be running amok.

old man Posted August 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 Thanks Bruno, am aware of the trap but just happened to be given a few .552's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
