Str 793 Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 Ive got a bsa ulta se multi shot 1.77, the lad I bought it from was using air arms diabolo express 4.5.2 for target shooting but I am using it to shoot rabbits so I swapped to air arms diabolo field 45.2 and by and large they are accurate but when shooting targets I keep getting the odd wild pellet which could be me ,I’ve also just ordered a pull through to give the barrel a clean just in case it’s never been done, so my question is can anyone recommend a good pellet out of these guns for rabbit shooting?

Jonjon79 13,358 Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 The Express that he was using will kill rabbits - if they're accurate, stick with them Also, it's a light pellet so, the trajectory will be more forgiving. 1 Quote Link to post

I would say the field are more accurate plus they fit the pellet thingy better lol I found the express a bit awkward fitting wise we’re as the field fit perfect,cheers. Quote Link to post

Fair dos In that case, try the barrel clean, then a bunch of shots with the Fields to lead it back in, then test again 1 Quote Link to post

Got some jsb exact diabolo today and I can’t believe the difference,it only took 10 shots to set the sights up,in pic all 10 pellets in 5p circle at 25 yards with a bench to rest on, with the air arms I would have got 1 or 2 in the circle but the rest would have been all over the place. Cheers for advice. 2 Quote Link to post

Jonnyb6161 80 Posted August 15, 2018 Report Share Posted August 15, 2018 Never shot a rifle yet that doesn't like JSB. All my .177 like Express and Heavies too. 1 Quote Link to post
