Pellets

[sharp_shooter]

I know pellet choice is trial and error but what are your favourite pellets to hunt with?

Any pellets that i should avoid?

Cheers lads(and gals if there are any)

[Aled_cky]

dont get the Webley Harriers and those.. find them to small and not good for killing..

i use Eley Wasp 5.6mm(blue tin) for all of my shooting.. if i am going for a all day shoot i will take 1 tin of them and 1 of Superpoint(not sure of make)

Nots so bad lad i tend use the recomended air arms field which they tell you to use with the tx 200 hc because it as been set up with these at the factory.

No complaints as yet of roger rabbit ,

my personal choice is JSB exacts (same pellets as some UK pellets but under the original label)

 

drop us a line if you need any :yp:

Accupell seem to work best through my Falcon PCP, but my mate swears by H&N Field & Target Trophy

:yp: air arms field pellets, good hard hitting 16.1g in 2.2 works wonders in my aas410k.....better than the aa hunters

I use Eley wasp 5.5mm (purple tin) Superpoint are made by RWS to answer mateys question.

Just use whatever suits your barrel. Almost everytime it'll be a roundhead that works best. The quarry won't give a stuff what type of pellet hits it so long as you hit the killzone. As a general rule flatheads and hollowpoints lose energy fast downrange and are usually innacurate at distance too so avoid those unless keeping the range short. Pointed pellets are just woefull in terms of accuracy in almost every gun. Reason being if the point is ever so slightly off centre then thats the way the pellet is going (spiralling).

Find what groups well in your barrel and stick to it.

As a general rule the first I try in any gun is Fields/exacts/daystates (same pellet) and next would be accupells. These have decent ballistics and keep their energy downrange better than most.

I tend to use cross man accupels but as 1 of 5 so rightly put it find what suits your gun the best & stick to the blighters

AA Field Target

 

i dont care what gun you have i dont think those lead pellets that come in a cardboard box are going to be any good

Not true! I was shooting RWS Super h points at about 35 metres and got a 1.5inch group with my super sport

I have used SuperDomes for the past 4 years never let me down when hunting.

That's my point. If you think 1.5 inch is a good group you need to think again. I expect my groups to be under a half an inch at that distance. At 1.5 inch you are missing the killzone with some. Go to a club and you'll see that no target shooter uses a hollowpoint simply because thay are not accurate. It's far better to put a roundhead smack on the money that a hollowpoint an inch off it.

H&N FIELD TARGET TROPHYEYS are great aespecialy washed and lubed. I use Napier. and my rifle is a Lightning with Gas Strut Mod. If that helps.

 

ps can you get this smilie with a realtree headnet instead of black LOL

[Magpies are gay]

I have noticed AAfield are very loveable, but they come in 2 sizes for .22, 5.51 and 5.52, which would be better? Tightfitting ones, or VERY tightfitting ones?! This is out of a AAs410k btw...tHaNkS
