Best mid price range pellet

[pmatty77 26]

Hi All,

Am fed up looking at all the different types of pellet for my slavia 634,anyone recommend a not too pricey but decent pellet,am aiming for small game,have tried the Bisley pest control and they just dont suit my gun,am using Rws superpoint at the moment and they seem ok...any views

I like Crosman Premier Ultra Magnums, work well in my guns, apart fromt he Theoben, they are very tight in the Anschutz barrel!

I'm afraid you get what you pay for.

I've had great results from H&N FT Trophy's, AA field and Accupel. Although the Accupel are a pretty dirty pellet due to the lube

[Phantom 631]

For price I would try the following:

 

Crosman Premier Ultra Magnums (also known as Accupel)

Air Arms Field (so far the very best grouping in my gun by 3mm edge to edge)

FX Pellets in the black plastic container (second best in my S200)

 

but although the cheapest out of the three I am currently using the CPUM's lets face it, they may be the worst out the three on paper a couple of mm either side of the aimpoint in the brain will still kill instantly.

 

Not only are these three pellets mid range in price, they are also midrange in weight, springers such as yours seem to prefer mid to light weight pellets where as a pcp tends to like mid to heavy.

 

Hope that helps a little.

H and N Field Target Trophy

 

RWS Super Field

 

FX

 

Air Arms

 

Webley Accupells

 

Daystate Li's

 

JSB Exacts

 

Falcon Accuracy Plus

 

All above are quality brands, but you need to try them all really until you find the one that matches your barrel the best for accuracy.

 

Noone can tell you or give you advice as all barrels are different like finger prints.

 

You will need to do the work yourself pal.

You get what you pay for mate. AA Fields...Accupels and Powapels in my rifles

[andyfr1968 772]

I agree with all the above but what's most important is what suits your own rifle the best. Only you can find that out, which can be an expensive pain in the arse but that's just how it is. Just to add another into the mix, RWS Superdomes tend to work well in most barrels.

in this general discussion forum there is a section titled pellet swap opportunity .try on there and you may get someone to swap some pellets with you without having to but a tin ful.

Have you had a look at pelletperfect.com? They sell samples. You can also buy samples from ebay. Do yourself and your rifle a favour and don't buy the cheap sh..e. Superdomes do work well in many rifles but apparently they lose energy quicker due to the slight domed head

Air Arms Field

H&N Extra Heavy Barracudas (Bisley Magnums)

H&N Field Target Trophy

 

The Air Arms being the best in my rifles out to 70 yards.

 

HW100T, 97k V-Mach and Falcon FN8

I believe Pellet perfect have ceased trading recently, it's a pity, well recommended.

I heard he was selling up...didn't know he'd finished.

Airgun pellets are as cheap as chips. Just get the ones that are the most consistent in your rifle.

 

Cheap pellets are better because they are only £4.99 a tin of 500. Ignore the fact that you can't hit the target with them, they still go phut and make a hole in the fence. They are brilliant for the pellet maker/seller too, because you then blame the gun for the constant missing and go and spend more money on another one. £4.99 and you hit the target 3 times per tin.

 

On the other hand, expensive pellets are even cheaper, because you can hit the bullseye 8 times out of 10. So the fact they are £9.95 a tin of 500 if you actually cost it at £s / bullseye they are phenomenanlly good value.

 

Cheap pellets at £4.99 per 3 bullseyes = £1.66 per bullseye

 

Expensive pellets at £9.95 per 400 bullseyes = 2.5p / bullseye.
