Im using RWS ultra mag pellets that fit snug and are accurate out of this rifle, what pellets you use that are accurate

I have tried a lot of pellets, Crossman Premier Hollow Points, Benjamin's, and others and you know what? I have found that the gun shoots straighter than I can hold and squeeze the trigger properly with all of them. As long as I use a heavy lead pellet to keep the speed down, the gun shoots great. I guess if I bench rested the gun and squeezed the trigger perfectly repeatedly, I could tell an accuracy difference between pellets. But I hunt using the best rest I can find (the side of a tree usually!) and try my best to use proper shooting technique. If I do that, old bushytail is usually toast. I like this gun (Umarex OCTANE 22 cal) except it is really heavy to carry, and I can't figure out a way to put a sling on it.

I've used several and did a test of my own on what I have and my favorite is the pellet that has a small copper BB on top. I have it right here but there's no name. It was the more accurate and I have the Predator Polymag, 16 grain. They are lead with the red plastic pointed insert on top. The one I like for distance is the RWS, Hyper Velocity Pellet. Green plastic with the I believe lead pointed top. Do you know how to make not so snug pellets more snug? Carefully put a BB at the open/bottom end of pellet, tap ever so lightly with a gunsmith hammer and it will spread it out a little. Check the fit. Might take a few tries. Gives better FPS.

I have been getting good results with the good ole basic Crossman superdomes at 14.3 Grains. They seem to shoot just fine out to 50 yards and I am not going to shoot much farther than that at a moving target. Every once in a while I get a flyer, but eh cost versus the number of shots I get more than offset the issue. I also feed these pellets to my PCP Webley Raider, and my Nitro Venom and they are a good all round pellet for what I am doing. Wheelchair Bob

I used the steel BB's from daisy and they are fairly accurate. If you want Maximum accuracy I would use pellets. I have no clue why you would need the ft lb of energy but you could probably calculate that by knowing the FPS(650-700 at 10 pumps) and the mass of the pellets/ BB's. I've noticed the accuracy depends a lot on how many pumps you use and the weather condition more than the pellets/BB's. For the price you can't go wrong.

I believe these pellets are Very consistant as far as weight goes. Therefore they should shoot very well. They do very well in my marauder, but I can't say for sure they would in another.

I just reload 223 and300 blackout but it looks tall enough to do 7 mms or 30.06 hope this helps

With light alloy pellets it's just under 1200 fps (very noisy), with 8.2 grain RWS Meisterkugeln lead pellets it's at 925 fps, and I'm now using Beeman Kodiak copper plated lead pellets (10.19 grain) which have given me the best accuracy with this gun, and shoot at 800 fps. Gun shoots the Kodiaks in 1" groups out to 40 yards with a clean barrel - good, very quiet gun.

There are really no lead-free pellets that have impressed me yet. They're all inferior in both economics and accuracy. Is your concern for lead because of a local or state law or an issue with the possibility of lead consumption? If it's because of lead consumption, the velocities at which pellets impact is low enough that lead does not fragment. If you're dead-set on lead free, buy a box/tube of each and try them. Pick the most accurate. I've heard mixed reviews about them all, and I would think barrel fit is more important than it is in lead.

Won't be that accurate or powerful, pellets are light and inconsistent and may wonder at that distance. 50 yds is my max. Get a 22 rim fire for 100yds.

It shouldn't be a problem as long as you are not using pointed pellets. You should still expect to dent it up pretty good on misses. A couple of thoughts. First off, depending on the make of the pellet rifle, many manufacturers will list a FPS that can only be achieved by using alloy pellets (i.e. extremely light, and therefore less accurate). Therefore, you might getting more like 1000fps at the muzzle using lead pellets. My favorite target pellet is the RWS Meisterkugeln and it runs at 8.2grains. With that pellet this trap should be okay, but expect it to make a distinct sound when hit. I have one of these, and I put a rolled up small towel in the back to keep it less noticeable by my neighbors. It shouldn't be a problem as long as you are not using pointed pellets.

Accuracy is great, considering that it's a break barrel. I've been able to stay on target at 100 yards, outdoors with the wind. 4 - 5 inch groups. I use Crossman domed or hollowpoint pellets.

With this air rifle being designed to only use pellets in the rifled barrel , I would say use pellets only - Rather than take a chance of messing up a nice rifle,and use a .22 caliber pellet rifle cleaning kit to clean the lead build up out of barrel every 200 rounds so it stays accurate .

I use the one that came with the rifle. It took a little work to set windage and elevation but after 4 or 5 adjustments I put 6+ shots in a 1" dia circle at about 40 yards. good enough for me.

I have the same pistol and also Crosman Competition pellets. Answer: Yes, they work well in my shooting sessions, but for the same price, weight and shape (wadcutters) I have found Diabolo Basic pellets (7.0gr) are more accurate in this gun.

None pointed pellets. Have had good results with RWS Meisterkugeln 7gr, RWS R 10 Match 7gr, RWS Diabolo Basic 7gr. All three wadcutter. The flat head loads even and doesn't stick out of clip to cause jamming. Aslo hard hitting and accurate.

I have tested over a dozen pellets in this gun. None were as heavy as 9 gr. The 8.4 and 8.6 gr pellets were the two best performing pellets I tested, also the heaviest. 9 gr. should perform well, but make sure they fit in the magazine. If they are too long the magazine will not feed. Great pistol.

I have only used gamo pellets. They work very well and are accurate. I use the heavy ones.

I use a .30cal gas check for my .303. I also used it for my M1 carbine, .308, 30-06 and 7.62x39. One size fits all.

I have one made for the S&W M&P and installed red dot scope, works great and accurate.
