IN NEED OF GUIDENCE

[Fatlad54 1]

Hi not to sure just hwo to ask this but which pellet weight works best in a pcp,just returning to the air gun scene and getting very confused by some info I have been given regarding the weight of pellet to use in my pcp,at the moment I am using bsa interceptor's at 15.43 grains but I am told that on one hand should go heavier and on the other slightly lighter.I am getting very good accuracy out of them so would the lighter/heavier prove any benefit ? any enlightenment would be most helpfull.

what gun are you using ??

 

anything cica 15 - 16 grain is suitable for a pcp

 

but....make sure you have access to a chronograph...if you are going to change to a heavier pellet as it can affect your power

Hi I guess I should have added that bit the gun is (I am getting used to having the urine extracted now) a logun s16 .22 all I can tell you is I had a bash on a local clubs range and they tested it before letting me use it tat it was putting out 11.25 ft lbs which they said was ok,it shoots quite well for me but most of the other members gave it a bit of a bashing but I am using it not them.thanks for the info I will keep using the bsa pellets then.

Did take a look at those but liked the look of the interceptors ! did try some norica apachy's but omg they where just total crap could not get a decent grouping out of them,the bsa are doing 5 shot groups in 20 mm at 45 yrds so yes I am happy with that but I am still trying to srink that down a little.Thanks for the help on this last air gun I had was a Webly hawk mk2 some 38 years ago used to run that on Eley wasp's but I am told these are no longer what they used to be.

Regards Ernie.

Air Arms Field Diablos are great, they work in most guns, my Daystate loves these, my Super 10 in .22 loves them as well!

air arms fields aren't that cheap....but i guess you get what you pay for

:welcomeani: Ernie,

 

The AAF's are excellent in most guns, I use them and I also use FX pellets, almost identical to AAF's just a touch heavier (.10 of a grain). They were a pound cheaper than the AA's and my grouping was only a matter of a mm or two wider at 35 yards.

 

20mm groups at 45 yards is excellent

Hi Tony it seems that the aaf's are the way to go and I am getting better with practice lol I think that my determination comes from my visit to the club my eldest is a member of,they did not seem to like the s16 that much for reasons best known to them.It doe's sem to be quite accurate to me and it seems to like the intercepters ! I have been out and bagged 5 crows (all head shots at 25/30 yrds) so am vey happy at the moment.

I quite like the S16 myself although they did get a poor rep after certain people at Webley (no longer employed there thank goodness) decided to cut costs and rely solely on the name so sell goods. If you have one that (and it sound like you do) does not frequently malfunction its an excellent rifle. Webley are now on the way back up

 

I will eventually get myself an XVI (S16 with its new internals)

 

Excellent work on the Corvids

all the s16,s i have had or worked on tend to like accupell n aafield but a tad better with accupell

you should be ok with them but you never know untill you try em

Give the Daystate Rangemaster Li's a go mate. At £9.20 a tin, They're 14.3gr, deadly accurate and hard hitting.

I used to use both AAF & FX pellets but now really favour the Daystate.

The best thing you can do is keep trying till you find the ones that suit your barrel. Make sure you clean with a pull through(start at the breech and pull to end of barrel) for every pellet change. Then allow sufficient pellets through to relead it. Then test for accuracy. Bit of a pain in the arse but better done right for the right results

I think most of the people at the club just seem to dislike it why I know not ! the one I have works well for me.On the webley's I must admit I did have a thing for them when they was webley & scott lol
