What Pellet?

[ironman andy 0]

Evening everyone.

This is my first post on this forum. Please excuse my spelling and grammer, Wordsworth I am not!!

Anyway, here is my question for anyone interested.

I have an Air Arms TX200 (.22 cal) and I was wondering what pellets would suit the gun?

At the moment I am using Bisley Super Field. I am going bunny bashing and I could do with some advice as to which pellets would suit. I know each gun has its own identity, and the pellet needs to be individually matched to it, but to narrow the field down would save me buying dozens of tins of different pellets.

BTW Super Fields ok but 3 from 10 are real fliers (or is it just my bad marksmanship ??)

Cheers all.

Hi andy

i`ve got a tx my self with springers you will find they prefer lighter pellets

so i would use accupell bisley long range gold or mosquito express

light pellets but still heavy enough to knock rabbits over

hope this helps

cheers stu

Cheers Bunny Bouncer.

That helps a lot.

I will try acupells next I think.

Have you tried pest control through it, if so, how were they?

Cheers again, Andy

Accupell seem to suit .22 springers, i think becouse there light, also give daystate ft a try, or aa feild

All barrels tend to be different giving different results from gun to gun.Why not get a pellet sample pack from Pellpax and see which pellet suits your gun the best.There is aload of different pellets in these packs to try.Here is the link http://www.pellpax.co.uk/acatalog/Pellpax_SAmple_Packs.html

Thanks Mick C.

Will try the pellpax.

Probably will find the most expensive hard to get pellets would be the best, knowing my luck

Cheers, Andy

i agree this is the only way to find the right pellet for YOU AND THE BARREL

it cost me nearly £60 ON PELLETS TO FIND THE RIGHT ONES FOR MY GUN

once you have a pellet you can trust its so much nicer .

My brother in law used nothing but Eley wasp in his TX200 and the grouping was spot on,

just shows it's not always the dearest pellets that suit.

Hi Andy, I use accupell and propell, but tend to try out anything that takes my fancy really. Use a lot of H&N field and target trophy, RWS superdomes and superpoints........Al :thumbs-up:

Thanks everyone.

This has given me plenty of food for thought.

Cheers, Andy

JSB Predator Pellets -- I have been told they are pretty decent for bunnies but not sure

What sort of results have you been getting from Bisley Super Fields? The reason I ask is although I have already replied recommending other brands, the Bisleys are a good pellet IMHO, good enough to shoot the staples that hold a paper target up when I set up a rifle at 25 yards, something that a lot of the more popular pellets fail to do...................Al

Hi Al,

I have been getting good results with the Super Fields (now I have learned to shoot straighter ).

Surprisingly for cheep pellets, I have been getting good results with the Eley Wasps too.

I went to a air rifle club last night and was shown some errors in my shooting and the results are improving.

Also Molecatcher has been helping me with my handling of the rifle (cheers mate).

I actually managed to get a couple of pellets through a 12mm diameter hole at 50mtrs last night, (must have put about 100 down though).

So all in all it was me, not poor pellets.

Thanks for your posts Al.

 

Cheers, Andy
