what is the best 22 caliber pellet for the SMG 22 caiber gun

I'm assuming that "SMG" is the U.K. version of the Chinese B series air gun's, ,,,so, Unless it's "tuned" beyond your 12 ft/lb legal limit, They're too heavy, and would most likely damage your mainspring before you finished the tin. If you want to stay in the JSB line, I suggest JSB Exact "Jumbo" RS @ 13.43gr,. They should provide you with great accuracy, and a decent muzzle velocity, Hope this helps. Cheer's, Andy.

That depends on your planned use - for target work, a light weight pellet is perfect as it can have greater velocity than a heavier weight pellet and has less time-of-flight to be influenced by winds; however, for hunting or pest control, a heavy pellet delivers more penetration. I've been using the Diablo JSB Exact Jumbo Monster (quite a name, for sure!) and it has proven to be accurate enough and has good penetration on impact.

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.

probably not the bone collector is a great gun for the price, but louder than the whisper shot a squirril a few days ago with mine and the pellet went through the ribs and came out the other side suggest you try for the heavier, slower pellets if you shoot at short to medium distance slower speed less noise generaly, more speed, more noise one of the reasons I prefer 22 over 177

They come in both .177"(4.5mm) and .22"(5.5mm), but if you want serious power .22 is the best.

Won't be that accurate or powerful, pellets are light and inconsistent and may wonder at that distance. 50 yds is my max. Get a 22 rim fire for 100yds.

my favorite pellet is the Crossman Destroyer pellet, but there are two different qualities. the more expensive one is better, less jams but both are better than most other pellets I tried in the pistol. Next are the Crossman hollow points.

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 would use a pointed pellet. Try different brands to find the one your gun likes the best, the same way you would with any rim or center fire rifle.

i only use mine on squirrel and grackles/crows.....i also like a clean kill and don't feel a light .22 cal pellet at under 1000fps gives a clean kill unless a headshot....the gun is capable of those headshots, so depends on the shooter, but still personally would recommend a different gun.

You would buy the .22 R caliber. 5.7x28 is very similar in size to the NATO 5.56 round which would also use the .22LR bore snake.

Lead pellets or ball .177 only , shooting bb's will damage it , it will take a 16.3g pellet but deformed the targets . Regular 5g pellets are fine tho

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

22 cal is .222 diameter slug223 cal is .224 diameter slugI use 22 cal boresnake on my 223 cal and it works fine.

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.

This gun fires.177 caliber pellets at speeds up to 1200 feet-per-second. .22 calibar Pellets will not fit in this gun.

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
