Re: Practice pellet recommendation and source
I realize that if you shoot on electronic targets, keeping track of your shots isn't an issue. The local matches shoot 5 shots per target on paper. If you get a double, it's easy to start wondering whether you fired 4 or 5...
Re: Practice pellet recommendation and source
These are my results with a Morini CM162MI using RWS pellets in a 10 shot string:
The R10 grouped the best, followed by Meisterkuglen. The 8.3 grain Meisterkuglen pellets point of impact was slightly low compared to the 7.0 grain pellets, which seems physically reasonable. All these were with the 4.50 mm head diameter. I'll probably try some others with 4.49 mm to see if there is much difference. The shot target provided with the pistol used 4.49 JSB Match Light pellets.
