villaman 9,983 Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 one of the best hunting pellet in .177 is jsb heavies 10.3gr IMO , all though I do use aa fields in my HW100kt .177 2 Quote Link to post
barrywhite 282 Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 a light 177 will stop a rabbit at 100 yards if you can hit it in the head .So power is not the problem accuracy is . I have used mosquito express with great results I have just got some jsb exact EXPRESS they are the same wight as mosquito express but the pellet has a stronger skirt, the pellet is similar I have shot it a few and may they be better than mosquito express .Dont get lost in power, a 1/2 a ft lbs at 50 yards so what, accuracy with speed is what I go for ...thats what I go for first ,if you want to mortar rabbits go .25 . 1 Quote Link to post

Mr Mcgoo 18 Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 Jsb exact and air arms field I find work in anything. 5.52 Diablo pellets way ahead for long range shots. Accupel mint to 14.3 grain I think.. Amazing long range kill shots with faster speed and flatter trajectory My old hw100kt 177 was not pellet fussy at all. Swear by these two brands 1 Quote Link to post
Rez 4,961 Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 Mentioned in a previous post... Exacts and fields are the same pellet, made in the same factory. There also very soft and you'll find that 20 (which isn't that many, are deformed) you can even squish um in your fingers. Give H&N trophies a go. These are just as accurate and are generally tougher. Quote Link to post
barrywhite 282 Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 Barry, I've never shot a 25 so cannot comment on the hitting power, I have shot my old rapid 22 for years on everything but got sick of the poorly made mags and thought it was time to trade on, I do have the offer of another hw100 in 22 if I want it, I am thinking of getting this as well, what do you think ?? WM If the gun was cheap in 22 and you like 22 get the hw100 , but if you want the gun for ..full time pest control ..I would get a 177 if you have not used 177 you may want to try it .If you have used a 177 and dont like it fine . hw100 is a nice gun better than a theoben mark 1 no power curve and screwing the bottle on and off ..a 22 works 177 works better at 12 ft lbs as far I am concerned .22 is better at close range but the choice yours . I was taking the piss with .25 I have never used .25 I would like to for fun , but I have a catapult it must be similar . Quote Link to post

barrywhite 282 Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 air arms ,falcon accuracy plus, mosquito express , are made by jsb all these pellets are similar shape , different weights good quality .If they dont perform well then the problem will be most likely with you or the gun . 1 Quote Link to post
