pellets

What brand of pellets is everyone using?

[yana]

Depends on the weapon. For the tsjech, I use JSB match. For the morini 162 H&N finale match. For the Diana 100 as well. For the Diana 6M JSB again. Dont pick the cheapest pellet around, even if yr still a beginner. Whats the use in buying a multi$$ gun and not using even a decent pellet??Im not saying use the most expensive, but test some pellets and choose a good 1.Doesnt have to be the best if yr starting out. But a good 1. Doesnt have to be the most expensive pellet to group well by the way. My Tau 7 doesnt even like the expensive stuff..Some guns are VERY picky in ammo choice..

Just do a search (see top of page) on pellets.

You'll be gagging on everything you never wanted to know on the subject.

Vogel Pelets are becoming more and more popular... good price too

I use gamo match. They are cheap, but more important, they have verry good weight spread compared with most of the well-known brands available on our market in low or medium prise range.

Where do you get the gamo match?

[angelmr]

I am form Bulgaria and here gamo match are cheapest pellets here. I was verry surpprised when I compared this cheapest gamo with RWS hobby which is 3 times more expensive, and have relative standart deviation of weight 2.5%, while gamo match have only 0.72%.

I had my Anschutz tested by Neil Johnson before he retired, and there was definitely a preference for one type over another. So I think testing a wide variety makes sense. I shoot RWS R10, because I bought a huge quantity, but it is not the best for my particular rifle. R10s are not perfect, and there are some marginal pellets in the bulk tins. I bought a few sleaves of miestegunklin, and they actually appear to be slightly more uniform, and they shoot much better in my FWB 80. I think the big trick, is being able to bench rest the gun to be able to pick out the differences.

I came back from about 4 years in the UK to find Neal Johnson's business gone. I'm glad to hear it was a retirement, not something else. Did anybody take over the business, either as a direct successor or just another good dealer in COS?

[jmkwyo]

nope, no one... it is just gone!

A sad loss to the sport.
