    best pellets for HW80

    I have recently bought a HW80 from a friend, with it he gave me a new sealed tin of 5.5mm eley wasp pellets.
    for some reason they feel a little loose in the barrel and the skirt doesn't quite fill the breach when you insert them.
    has anyone else with a HW80 found this?
    I thought about trying the slightly bigger 5.6mm eley wasp instead.
    any thoughts guys?

    won't all 5.5mm pellets feel the same in the barrel?
    I must also point out that accuracy isn't an issue.

    Superdomes tend to fit nice and snug in most barrels ?

    Try German ones - RWS Superdome or Field, H&N FTT, HW's own. There's a train of thought that German pellets work best in German barrels. Might be a load of shite but I've always followed that rule and I hit what I aim at
    The SEARCH FUNCTION is your friend......
