.177 Hunting Pellets

[19powell90 89]

Hi all,

i have recently purchased a hw97k and want to start hunting small game. i have permission and have been practising my shooting skill and can group 10mm groups at 35yards using AA Fields 4.52. but im just wondering are these pellets good for hunting? if not what pellets are do you suggest and are they accurate??

 

thanks

Hi Scott,

 

Good shooting that buddy! I would stick with the AA Fields, they obviously suit your rifle well! Best to stick with the most accurate pellet for your rifle and the Fields have more than enough power to kill humanely if delivered to the kill zone. Look at it this way mate, if you shoot it through the brain, it will die a humane death. The most accurate pellet gives you the most chance of achieving that.

Hi Scott,

 

Welcome to the forum, I would agree with Mikey AA Fields are a very good, consistant pellet and due to that probably one of the most popular. I am currenty using Accupell, they seem to suit my Daystate a treat.

 

I would always recommend trying different pellets. It provides you with an appreciation of a good and bad pellet and gives you an idea what difference a bad pellet can do....

Hi there

 

With results like that at that range, you would be daft to change them.

They are a superb alrounder for just about any type of shooting.

 

Stick with em and the bunnies will drop nicely when you hit them in the cerebral matter

I always used bisley magnums for my solo, but like has been said, each gun and owner have there favourites
