Best Pellets For Rabbiting?

[MickHowes 9]

Fairly new to rabbiting, been target shooting for a while and now having my hw100kt 22 coming Tuesday I'll be starting rabbiting, pellets I was using were air arms field but I'm just wondering which pellets everybody thinks are the best for rabbiting, any help is appreciated, cheers

a dome good quality pellet .aa field should be fine other pellets may be more accurate or not you will have to fined out .Get a few different pellets every one does then make up your mind .

I have half a tin of AA fields left and just about a full tin of jab exacts I may buy a tin if super fields just to check:) thanks for the response!

try falcon accuracy + or similar [jsb express or jsb rs ???]..defiant the light ones ,light pellets loose a little power from a pcp but are very fast I will use a light pellet like accuracy + from pcp and defiant from springer I dont like defiant from pcp but there are lots of sizes I have never experimented that much but some people love them out of pcps.

You will have to find the most accurate pellet for your gun ,all though HW100 in.22 don't seem to be pellet fussy . Try falcon accuracy plus 13.4gr ,Daystate Li 14.4gr to very good light pellets,these are the 2 I use in mine ,I have shot rabbits out to 55 yards with fap

I know it sounds obvious but whichever is the most accurate mate and that's just trial and error. If you can hit it just below it's ear, it won't matter which pellet you've used!

Daystate Lis are expensive Crosman Premier Ultra Magnums, which is the pellet I use in my .22 pcp rifles (which includes an HW100 KT)

i am usding AA diablo field 5.52 in mine....work a treat

[villaman 9,983]

I think I am right in saying Daystate Li are being fazed out

I use jsb exact in my hw100kt in 5.52mm

second choice in the accuracy test I did were the AA fields.

 

Li's and accupells were mediocre and so were superdomes

 

Bisley magnum were ok but I mainly use them for chronoing.

 

Super FIELD looked like a shotgun had hit the target ( and same in my hw97, I might have a dodgy tin??)

 

anyways JSB exacts and AA fields are a good staring place in any rifle IMO

 

power of each pellet will be slightly different but all will do the job from a 10-11.9 ftlb muzzle velocity rifle out to 60 yards as long as you can place the pellet in the right spot ... hence the need for accuracy over power.

 

hope this helps mate

i use h and n barracuda hunter extreme 19.1 grain when im rabbiting , but I like to sit and wait at set distances from there hole . they cause so much damage

Iv set on the AA fields very accurate got 7 rabbits last night in an hour and a half and a good few were around 50 yards, was very impressed with them.
