Product Information

The most popular pellet gauge tool is probably found at www.pelletgage.com and they are still making gauges that can identify pellet head size in a lot of different calibers. Once you’ve identified the exact size, you can then start to look at variances in weight.Let’s talk about that next. The best way to determine if pellet sizing makes a difference is to conduct your own test. Clamp an accurate airgun in a vice so it cannot move. Fire all groups while it is in that position. For obvious reasons (i.e., movement), don’t use a breakbarrel gun. (No modern target airgun is a breakbarrel.) Precharged pneumatics (PCP) or gas airguns are the easiest to test because they don’t need to move much to be reloaded.

As someone on this tread says , weight/ wash and lube your time would be better spent on as time consuming as that is. The star shape also reduces turbulence around the nose of the pellet for better accuracy. These pellets are never going to be match target winners but when it comes to pest controlling these pellets are absolutely devastating at close to medium range, even at 12ft/lbs. Other hollow points to consider : H&N Barracuda Hunter , Bisley Pest Control The plastic/metal tipped pellets suffer from similar problems to the pointed, in that any slight variation to the way the tip is seated can drastically effect accuracy. For this reason I would personally avoid them for anything other than close range dispatching. Hollow points are more useful for pest control, but you will still find the accuracy dropping off after around 25 metres in most guns. This is simply due to the fact that the shape of the hollowpoint affects the way the air flows around the pellet. The ‘Skirt’ Tip out the pellets, removing any bits clinging to the pellets themselves. Place a small amount — say 200 .22 calibre or 300 .177 calibre — into a freezer bag and add 50ml of warm water and two drops of washing-up liquid. A warranty is provided by each manufacturer to ensure that your product is free of defect in both materials and workmanship.

How to size air rifle pellets

Airgun Nation is the epicenter for learning, sharing, and discussing everything related to airguns. Founded in 2015 and refreshed in 2022, we are the airgun metropolis for community and industry alike. These pellet sizers are able to reduce the diameter of the pellet skirt resulting in consistent size and shaped pellets. The shape of the pellet is almost as important as the size, and there are lots of different styles of pellet available that all perform vary different roles. Choosing the correct style of pellet can effect drastically improve the effectiveness of your shooting. Flathead or Wadcutter A varied selection of pellets, in different sizes

Premium brands like JSB and H&N (and others) pay great attention to how each pellet comes off the assembly line, especially with their match ammo. On the other hand, more budget-friendly brands allow for a bit more slop in their ammo. This is why, and this happens quite a bit with big-box ammo, you can have one tin that shoots pretty decently and then the next shoot terribly. Or, have wide variances within the same tin. There are also larger calibres available, such as .25 and .303, but in my opinion these are only really worth bothering with if you’re shooting an FAC rifle that is over 12ft/lbs, as the extra mass of the pellet requires more force to push it. These larger pellets are designed for hunting at long ranges and can provide devastating power at the 20-30ft/b range.
