What pellet brand and pellet weight does this gun seem to prefer?

I used Gamo Hunter pellets (cal-0.177). These are the leaded ones. Others may be ok also.

I found that the standard Crossman .177 pointed premium pellets works fine for me. Like most air rifles you have a break in period to get the shots to be steady and accurate. Once broken in it hits what you aim at to your zero. Shoot what you prefer, but use that type and brand of pellet to keep your shots true.

I have tried different brands and weight pellet,but I like the Gamo Red Fire .177 cal 7.8gr

Mine has shot well with both crosman premier and gamo. It likes heavier ammo as well, seems to shoot best with pellets in the 7-8grain range. The red rocket pellets from gamo also shot well(10grain) but my scope lacked sufficient adjustment to be sighted with those.

YES...Also it's the biggest P.O.S., that I've ever seen, the pellet only moves at 400 fps, which is hardly worth shooting. If you're SERIOUS about shooting you want something like the Umarex 2252268 Browning 800XPS, It only costs $50.00's more & it's TWICE AS FAST, it too has a Rifled Barrel, today MOST Air-Rifles & Pistols have rifled barrels. Hope this helps

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

My husband was pleased with the pellets. Not sure if they are the same, I couldn't find what he wanted and decided on these. Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.

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 .

no brand is tuely better then the next except avoid crossman. when your looking for bb;s look for .20gram or higher bb's. the heavier you go the lower your fps will be, but it will improve accuracy and your ability to shoot through brush DO NOT BUY ANYTHING LIGHTER THEN .20GRAM BB'S

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

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

All air soft BBS are the same size, they just differ in weight. I prefer the .20 gram BBS(which is what I used in this air soft gun) because they fly straighter.

I have to agree with D R. P. ReplicaAirguns on youtube compared the Daisy R Ryder and Marlin Cowboy. The R Ryder was much more accurate and also much easier to cock it.

I use Crosman 12g , 15 to the box sold at Wallyworld..I have two of these and my grandsons have some. We love this BB gun. Mine shoots 15 times as fast as I can pull the trigger.. It got a Pit Bull off my foot one time..

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 prefer .20 BBs on this. You will get better accuracy and power, comparing to .12 BBs.

In .22 cal. (5.5mm) each pellet weighs 25.39 grains. This is kind of heavy for a springer air rifle. More appropriate for use in a PCP air rifle.

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.

I have fired Crosman Hollowpoint .22 pellets out of mine and they are fairly accurate. The Crosman pellets are more consistent in diameter than the pellets that shipped with the rifle.

BBs, because they are lighter. Not a very powerful gun with either. BB and pellet drops fast after 20-30 feet.
