Hi Taffy,

             I own and hunt regularly with the HW 97 KT but she is .177, - what rifles these are 

             For any lads with .177 HW 97 KT`s use JSB Exact Express 7.87 g, 4.52 zero to 38 yds.

             At a guess Taffy if there is a .22 Exact Express try them first in a 97.

 

 

            Now i would suggest setting your .22 zero at 27 yds dead, this will give you no hold under required and keep your pellet within a 1 inch kill zone from 8yds to 31 yds, just what you are looking for.

 

                                 Good hunting lads,

                                                  Mark.

A few to try AA fields , H&N ftt ,  But in mine I use Falcon accuracy plus 13.4 gr  these fly flatter and faster and zeroed in 30 yards and on 6x mag shoot from 8 -36 yard with no hold over or under

Flight and terminal performance is key. 

Some decent pellets suggested, but you need to find which works best for you.

Cheers lads

Not in a springer but in a couple of .22 PCP rifles I have had really good results with JSB exact Jumbo RS. Falcon Accuracy Plus have been tricky to get hold of locally but the JSB's are easier to get. I think I am right in saying these are basically AA Field Express pellets but cheaper as Express in my area are bloody pricey.

That is one hell of a good looking gun 

[barrywhite 282]

JSB Exact Express as stated a good start , but try any light weight quality pellet that is accurate .

JSB EXACT JUMBO 15,89,,,5,52 in all my 97k .s

hard hitting and very very good

not just in the 97 but pro sport as well

For an airport job, you're probably talking long ranges - either use the ferrets and nets or, expect a lot of f***ing about for not much return. 

 .............. That'll generally be FAC territory.

 

What else do you know about the job?
