Pellet selection


Recommended Posts

i have a new hw97 ready to be tested with diffrent pellets :D

 

i have ..

 

H&N Field Target Trophy

AA Diabolo Field

RWS Superdome

Daystate Rangemaster Li ...and...

JSB Exact

 

and then about 80 RWS Super-H-Point in an old tin but i probly wont bother with them lol

 

then when i figure out the best ones for my rifle after its broke in il just stick to them..

 

regarding air arms field- i also have been using these for years and they were always one of the best but recently the quality has been really poor not just for me a lot of people on here. get quite a lot of bent skirts from a brand new tin. and for £9 its a bit annoying!!

Different weights are due to pellet design, some pellets have more metal in them than others, for instance the Crosman Premier Ultra Magnum in .177 is a heavy pellet at 10.5 grain, Air Arms Field are 8.4 grains, 2.1 grains different! The heavy weight pellet works well, but because of the weight has a more curved flight path than a medium (AA) or light weight pellet!

 

Grains are an old imperial measurement it was based on the average weight of a grain of wheat!

 

You sure about the weights Mike?

 

I've been using AAF's in .22 and they are 15.9grain

The CPUM's also in .22 are 14.3grain

And as such are lighter than the AA's
