Thanks Davvy

You will still get users asking what's the best pellet.

of course - this is only a very basic guide to pellets. intended use isn't the only thing you need to think about when choosing pellets - it depends very much on your gun.

Hi guys.

When i had my .22 cal, i use to use hobby flat head (wad cutters). And they were superb and cheap aswell. But now in my bsa .177 i use iver masquito's or diablo elite. And it loves them. But i also use Air arms feild also wich work fine and all these are at a resonable price. Well i think so anyway. Im going to buy a box tho next time i think cous iv been told you get better concistency rather than getting different tins from different batches. Makes sence.

Anyway hope this helps

All the best guys

Line 3. ‘Isnt’ should read ‘isn’t’. Both times the word ‘advise’ is used; it’s in the wrong tense and should read 'advice'. No space after the comma.

It should, indeed, read advice. But advice is a noun, and nouns dont have tenses.

Good general advice, but I have a few small points (sorry for the pun):

Plinking -for some, it's all about short-range penetration, so the harder and sharper the tip the better. Lighter pellets exit the barrel at a higher velocity, which affects penetration into certain materials.

Paper targets - some say wadcutters stabilise more quickly after exiting the muzzle, increasing short-range accuracy at distances around 10-15M. I can't confirm this, but this is significant if you participate in pistol competitions. For paper targets at 25-50 yards I would almost certainly use a light domed pellet.

FT and HFT - since the target is not live quarry, I think there is some benefit to using lighter pellets. A straighter and faster trajectory will help with accuracy -in HTF at least, you only get one shot per target.

using a HW35 [springer] some 25-30 years ago for hunting i tried wadcutters and found the killing power of these pellets to be awesome, and never used anything else after,never had any runners, and accuracy was never a problem only ever shooting out to 30 yards. If i ever get back into hunting i'll be trying wadcutters in my Wolf. ATB Alan.

I find the Crossman Accupell pellets are excellent for target shooting, the Webley Powapell Pellets for small vermin and the Logun Penetrator 16 grain would be excellent for the bunnies and wood pidgeons as they hit with a good strong solid thump, theyv'e got good knock down power.

I'm following the advice on this forum to try .177 AA fields, however, i went on to the uttings website and they have two types of fields, 4.51 & 4.52, what's the difference? they're both the same weight. does anyone know the difference or which one of the two would be best for my evo carbine? Any help's great, TVM
