What kind of pellet do you use with what? I use primarily crosman, but if somebody else knows of a general purpose all around decent pellet I'd like to know what it is and why? I need to find a good hunting pellet for basicall all of my .22s I'd like to find a .177 too if you know of one.

I find the 14.3g Crosman pointed pellets work well in my Beeman. However, I haven't tried a broad spectrum either. They are accurate, uniform, and provide good penetration. Another plus is that they are available at my local sporting goods store.

I recently ordered a tin of Crosman Premier hollowpoint, and RWS super H hollwpoint from Pyramyd, first time ordering from them, so I'll let you know how they work out. I also added a 2240 to the same order. Mr. Green

In .177 my go-to pellet is the RWS superdome for my D34. If I'm just shooting generally I will use the cheap crosman 1250ct boxes of pointed pellets, they usually stay within an inch at 25 yards.

My superstreak in .22 likes gamo match, and RWS HP's. Both are fairly accurate and provide some power.

I suggest trying "peak" pellets from Archer Airguns, they seem well priced and the picture shows them being uniform. Testimonials on the AA website show they are pretty good pellets.

I'v found the RWS Superdomes make most of my .22 cal. rifles happy with less than
1/2 " groups at 20 yards.

But the .20 calibers I have prefer Beeman FTS these produce 1 ragged hole shots @ 20 yards.

The .177's are another story different pellets for every rifle.But most will tolerate RWS Meisterkugeln with good enough results to be a pellet of choice for targets.

I only use my D34 anymore, .22 is expensive.

it really depends on which rifle i'm using. my Logun S-16 likes Gamo Hunter domes. the Disco likes either JSB Predators or Eun Jin Domes. the Super Streak likes Beeman CrowMags.

In my Beeman R2, the Gamo Rocket pellets works great.
In my Benjamin 392, the Benjamin Discovery Pellets work best for me.
In the Daisy Powerline 880, Beeman hollowpoints work good.

I have tried these pellets,all .177 in a R9.
RWS Super Dome,Super Point,Super H,Hobby and Meisterkugeln.

Crosman Premeir Hollow Points and Ultra Magnum.

JSB Express.

Daisy Waddcutters and Pointed.

The RWS Super Dome,Crosman Hollow Points and JSB shoot very close to the same at 15 yards,but I would put RWS at the top.Even though I have shot 5 shot groups as small as 1/4'' with all three.
The rest of the RWS pellets I dont like,and the Daisy pellets are the worst I've seen yet,especially the pointed.

I had a RWS 48 .22 a short while and only shot CP Hollow Points and RWS Super Domes in it and both seem accurate.

I like the Beeman line, but I've always used the German made line. i don't know how thw "newer" Chinese line will be. I hope they don't discontinue the German ones and go completely to these.

Which pellet depends on what I'll use it for and which gun I plan to shoot it from. My Falcon handles the extra heavies welll, for my Stingray which has less raw power i like the lasers (these are my 2 .25s)

The same rule holds true for my other guns Power and Purpose decide Pellet. (3P)

My Beeman .22 likes the Crosman 14.3gr pointed. My Crosman likes the .177 hollowpoints from Crosman. I generally get what the local stores have and, that's mainly Crosman and Daisy. Don't like the Daisy's.

I had a bad experince with daisy pellets...wouldn't hit withing shouting distance of each other. Sad.
