Which Make Of Pellets?

[Tonyslap 2]

Hi,

 

I'm in need of some more pellets & was wondering which would be the best for me?

 

I have a Webley Tomahawk .22 & only use it for rabbiting.

It is not as simple as that! What works well in one rifle may not work well in another of the same make and model, like some cars prefer BP fuel, some Shell! What can only be offered is guidance, not a definitive answer.

 

Crosman Premier Ultra Magnums are found to work well in many Webley .22 rifles (the .177 Ultras are a heavyweight pellet and not really suited to spring powereds where as the .22s are a medium weight pellet).

iv always used eiley wasps number twos as they are slightly bigger 5.6mm i feel like they fit the barrel more snug

The old Eley Wasp made in England 5.6mm were always my choice.

Who makes them now?

Im saying Air arms diabolo field are my favourite all round good pellet. very good in every rifle I have used them in. but there might be a better pellet for your gun.

jsb exacts in .177 and superdomes in .22 for me but some mags and rifles don't suit.

its just a case of trying to get the best match and even then you get variation in pellets

Have been using H&N Field & Target Trophy 5.5, nothing wrong really, just a little loose going into the barrel & as i'm running out was just wondering if there was anything else that would suit the gun better?

When I purchased my .22 HW100, I bought 2 tins of AA diablo fields in 5.51, and was quite happy with the grouping. I went to buy some more and they had none in stock so I got some H&N FTT 5.53. These were a dissappointment with grouping. My mate gave me a few Ely Wasps to try, and I could have got a better group using a blunderbus.

I then sent off for AA Diablo Fields in both 5.51 and 5.52, and also some JSB Exact Diablo's in 5.52.

 

Tightest groups were with the AA 5.52 and the JSB 5.52's. Both being slightly tighter than the AA 5.51, so it's a case of trial and error to find what is best suited to your gun.
