In .22 .yes i do .they always seem to fly well in all .22 bsa barrels. From my ultras (sub and fac ) To my lightenings and supersport Not so great in .177 for pcps (the mags dont like em ) but perfect in the springers.

Guest Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 BSA recommend JSB or AA. I have used both in all my BSAs and confirm they likes it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruno22rf Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 It will like the ones that your local Dealer seldom gets in - the most expensive, exotic leaded works of Art that only Beelzebub himself could ever consider normal. Oh yes you will revel in your ability to mimic Annie Oakley ( the mixture of metals known only to a secret sect of Druids may ,in fact, allow you to grow Breasts just like Annie's ) and in your new found ability to utilise a chart that would have confused Boffins at Bletchley Park as you "Rock up" to your nearest perm and scan your latest "Land of opportunity" before slowly realising that, after several minutes of fruitless, frantic groping, that you have left your Mag at home.

GingerCat Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 Jsb exacts for mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultrastu Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 (edited) Ok .in .177 The pellets it will ABSOLUTLY like with zero question at all. Bisley magnums.or barracuda match .(same pellet .) Any head size Other pellets If you want lighter .jsb exact 4.53 .will shoot amazingly out of most bsa barrels .also try jsb heavies . For something different try h+n hunter extreems .they shoot just like the bis mags but hit like a hammer Edited May 19, 2018 by Ultrastu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mice! Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 Have you tried the extremes in .22 stu? These came up when i was looking at something the other week, wasn't sure if they were a gimick or not? But i liked the look of them. opp, the pellets stu has mentioned have got YouTube videos with them, probably worth a quick look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultrastu Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 I havent tried the .22 extreems mice . I dont shoot .22 sub 12 at the moment .I've had a few guns in the past .but generally have always stuck to the lighter pellets as these give a flatter trajectory. . My fac .22 only runs at 23 fpe and a 18 grn .22 extreem would still be too heavy (and slow ) for me . Im sure they would be accurate enough though .

Mice! Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 cheers, thought they were heavy for a .22 but certainly interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultrastu Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 For general hunting a middle ground pellet that gives excellent accuracy and the ability to drop quarry from clise range rats to distant crows. Id go with a 8.4 grn jsb version Either air arms fields. Or Jsb exact . Try 4.53 first. These tend to be the most accurate. And are the go to pellet in 3 of my guns .one fac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may get some hunter extremes as well for rats and dispatch of things in traps thanks for all your help guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 As a general pellet i find Bisley Mags are good in .177 and .22 in nearly all guns. Maybe not the best but good enough for what most of us require. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaman Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 JSB heavies in my ultra . Bismags gives me a low reading in all my guns and JSB , daystate heavies or daystate sovereign heavies ( same pellets ) gives me the higher readings in all my guns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
