what caliber pellet and what gram is best
789644
This airsoft rifle uses 0.20g BBs or heavier. This is an airsoft rifle that fires 6mm plastic BBs. Please do not use metal pellets as it will damage the gun's internals.

I have found out that using the BSA 2-7X32 Edge Series Pistol Scope is the best overall! I like the EDGE 2x20 also but they seem to be just for the short shots and a bit harder to sight in fast. I have many pellet hand guns and they work well on all of them.

I like the rounded or pointed pellets. I've never used hollow pointed; I've heard they aren't very accurate. I just use the cheap crossman pointed

After some thousands of shots, I would recommend the best pellets as follows:For target practice:1.- RWS Meisterkugeln (yellow color tag)2.- Crosman MatchFor hunting:1.- RWS domed2.- Crosman hollow pointGamo pellets are bad as the worst, don´t waste your money.Greetings

I've only used the "Crosman Destroyer .177 Cal, 7.9 Grains, Pointed, 250ct" and have great success knocking down wild game with them! I don't know if this gun shoots the airsoft pellets.

My 1200fps rifle slaps these through some metals and yes to take down even several small game....birds nearly explode unless they are a turkey. The truth behind the bullet is the gun though. I've used dozens of different pellets in pistols and rifles for over 20 years and must say a rifle that pushes a pellet at 1200fps will do just as a black powder .22 rifle on a standard load. A 40g .22 pistol round is standard at 900fps...hunting rounds at 1250fps ... so the air rifle technology makes shooting the .22 pellets cheaper and gives me more range time with the kids.

Air guns (and firearms) can be picky as to what shoots best. My old Crosman prefers their pellets but you're just going to have to experiment. That's why they make sample packs of pellets. Good Luck.

I have had my gun to the range a few times and have shot Crossman, Daises and Gamo pellets. The Gamo master point and Magnum have shot the best . Nice pointed pellet your best bet is to target shoot some with different ammo and see what works best for you . I am going to squirrel hunt with mine this year ,(live in Ohio and it legal here) so I am using a pointed pellet . Hope this helps . Shoot safe and have fun .

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.

Yes look for a heavier grain weight,due to such high power of this air rifle light pellets are not only inaccurate but act as a dry fire to the pellet gun.

I use Crossman hollow point .177 pellets. I'm not sure what "name" they go by. They come in a round tin container, about 2 1/2" in diameter and are inexpensive on line. They shoot consistent in my rifle.

Personally, I prefer lead. Call Crosman and see what they recommend in regard to non-lead pellets.Jim

It's a matter of personal preference, but I used about 48 oz. I bought two 32 oz. bags of poly-pellets at Michael's craft store and used 1-1/2 bags.

I have found that Crosman brand pellets appear to have the best accuracy. Using Daisy pellets has proven to give me much more random groupings. I use both Crosman pointed and wad cutters with similar result. The wad cutter makes a louder plink when it hits a can.

pellets but, gamo offers a 5.5 lead ball that you can use . it's super easy to load and accurate . it is a little heavy at 15.43 grain but it is mistake proof when loading . at 20 yards your good .

14.3 grains And no you didn't miss it on the can for some reason it is not there. It is in the mid-range and the heavier grains don't work well for me. I have to adjust based scope every time I change plans or style of pellets. I have tried most of the other pellets.

Personally, I have always used any .20 gram rounds. They shoot hard with this gun and are very accurate. Sometimes .23 are very good too, but more expensive. The .2 will go farther, but the .23 is more accurate. Unless you are shooting a tiny spot on a person from 100 feet away, you should be able to get away with .20.
