Pellet

[the big chief 3,099]

Hi all do rws do a heavier pellet my brothers gun is set at 11.5 but the pellet is too light and is going right through and not stopping the bird right away he is using rws supper domes in 177 so a heavier pellet would do it I recon he has tried a few different pellets in the gun but is very accurate with super domes any help lads would be grate

mt r-10 is doing that power with superdomes in .177 and killing instantly you could try h&n hunter extreme, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/200-H-N-Baracuda-Hunter-Extreme-177-Pellets-Air-Rifle-177-4-5-mm-caliber-/181149679418?pt=UK_SportingGoods_Hunting_ShootingSports_ET&hash=item2a2d5cbf3a

If your willing to venture away from the domed pellets, RWS do a hollowpoint pellet, they pack more of a punch and expand much more on impact, they might do the trick for you.
I'm a firm beliver in the .22 though, .177 just doesn't pack the punch you need for birds/pests.

ive never tried rws hollow points, but as i said my .177 using domes puts everything down stone dead

RWS do a heavier pellet than the domes the superfield at 8.44 grains , bisley magnums at 1O.3g always seem to shoot well in my PCP rifles also a very good heavy pellet JSB heavys at 1O.5g

Does anyone have a few heavier pellets I could test rarther than buy tins and tins for them not to be right

[ghillies 209]

hevier pellets penatrate more with a louder wack on impact. try turning it down to 10.5 to 10 and a three quarter fp's and try AAfeilds.

Gonads sir, total gonads! .177 will drop rabbits, pigeons, squirrels, rats, pheasants and partridges with ease! All you have to do is hit them in the right area! I took 2 rabbits last night using .177, the first at 60 metres and the second at 45 metres! I was using a sub 12 BSA Super 10 that has been tuned by it's designer, but it is still a sub 12 .177!
