Which are the best pellets for the Browning Leverage .177?
691920
Your answer is not simple. Are you talking about accuracy or killing power or price? Every rifle is a little different so not all pellets will shoot the same in this gun. The browning leverage is made by umarex so I would try the RWS line of pellets first. Then compare them by shooting some Benjamins and then some Crosmans to see which brand of pellets you like the best. If you still not happy try other brands until you find a brand your happy with. The truth is that it doesn't matter if it's a .177 pellet rifle or a 300 winchester magnum rifle you have to try different brands of ammo to find the one your gun shoots best.

Not only do different guns like different pellets. Different guns of the same model and caliber like different pellets. I just shoot targets. I start with wadcutters. (flat nosed) My experience is most any wadcutter will out shoot anything else. I shoot lead pellets. I've found most alloy pellets are all over the target and cost to much. You have to experiment to find the pellets it likes then experiment more to find the one it loves and the holes are touching.

I did not keep this rifle very long, so can not evaluate any pellet other than the Winchester Hollow Point pellet which shot well. I used the rifle only for target shooting.

I don't really know. All I have used in mine (so far) are Crosman brand. I have several different points, according to purpose: field points, flat target points, hollow points, pointed tips, etc. They all seem to have about the same zero. I have not tried alloy pellets. Although alloy pellets may go faster due to their lower weight, they can't have as much energy upon impact as the heavier lead pellets. Therefore, unless you are shooting for speed only, I see no advantage to using alloy pellets.

Any .24 cal/6mm BB will work. I would recommend .2g BB'sThanksPyramyd Air Team

I have a Browning over and under 425 that has ported barrels and hiviz birdbusters work great for me.

A .177 BB is actually smaller in diameter than a .177 pellet so there will be a poor seal and the BB will not engage the rifling, If you are intend on shooting round balls out of the rifle go with Gamo round lead pellets, They are the right diameter and engage the rifling but don't expect excellent accuracy out of them, However they should have excellent penetration.It's never a good idea to shoot steel BB's out of rifled guns since they mess up the rifling.

Wish I could help you. I've only used the BB's and pellets that came with the kit and they've worked well for my needs.

My Nitro is a .22 cal, and for most standard uses I personally choose the Gammo Masterpoint 16.2 gr 250 count pellets, although I have found them a bit hard to find except online. If you need a little more velocity or distance most any of the ammo on the market designed to be lightweight and with the longer overall body length should do fine. As with any rifle/ammo combination, each person must see what works best for them.

I have used several pellets without incident. My favorite has always been Crosman Premier domed pellets. they are very consistent in quality and shoot nice groups. YMMV. It is a good idea to avoid pointed pellets as they tend to be a tad longer then domed, hollow point, or wadcutter pellets. The longer pellet may not permit the magazine to rotate properly and you run the risk of jamming things up.

dome pellets works best, ie, Crossman or Benjamin dome and hollow point. these are inexpensive. don't waste your money on other expensive brands.

Crosman Domed Premier Pellets are the most accurate. Crosman Domed Premier Pellets, 0.22-Calibre, 500 Count

Crosman makes hollow point pellets for air rifles. Just search Amazon.com with keywords: Crosman hollow point pellets .177

I use the Crossman Destroyer for varments, and the standard Crossman pellet for practice. i find them both to be extremely accurate.

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

I don't have personal experience with that particular pistol, but the Amazon listing shows that it's a .177 caliber so the Crosman ammo should work. That said, I would probably buy smaller tins of various brands (Crosman, Gamo, etc.) to start with and experiment to see if one works better than another. I'm mainly shooting Crosman wadcutter pellets in Crosman and Daisy products, and they serve me well. I only dream about owning a high-end air pistol like the German-made Beretta model.

Airsoft pellets. My kid says the heavier ones perform better than the lighter weight ones.

This loads .177 pellets or 4.5 mm steel bb's in their respective 8 shot cylinder magazines. Since the barrel is rifled, it is best to use the pellets because they are softer and won't ruin the barrel.

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

You can search for them here on amazon just put 0.177 bb bullets and as far as I know only metal ones are compatible with this gun
