I bought this gun and I also bought lead pellets and it was not accurate. Recently I thought it was the ammo so im going to ask any preference on ammo

Yes look for a heavier grain weight,due to such high power of this air rifle light pellets are not only inaccurate but act as a dry fire to the pellet gun.

The scope is not good and the ammo is a issue but good gun just needs a good scope

My boyfriend said you have to sight the scope in order for it to be accurate. I know nothing about guns though.

Mine seems pretty quite, but I'm shooting lead pellets I haven't tried high speed pellets yet. With the lead it is really quite.

We have tried different pellets in the gun and found a little difference. Try Crossman HP, H&N; pellets Blue flame pellets and Red Five pellets but the gun is loud. A change in pellets and shooting a while helps.

I found it to be inaccurate regardless of how many pellets I shot through it. I ended up returning it.

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.

These are not perfectly accurate, just close. So I start at 50yds or at 100yds and go from there. Then I dialed it in with real ammo, they just save a little ammo at the start, but there not dead on accurate.

No, it's not man. There is a model for pellets though. These are nice guns. If you buy / or have bought one, do the following:I agree with Robert ..........get yo'self a bunch of extra "bullets" (that hold the BBs), and for sure for sure, some speed loaders!! Dump out 6 emptys & in one motion load 6 full ones.....Bam!Happy air-shootin' ---be safe.

Alloy pellets will travel faster and more accurate, but lead pellets typically deliver a bigger punch. Lead since you are shooting from relatively close up.

I think they claim 950 fps, but typically that is with alloy pellet. Lead pellets are slower.

I fired ten pellets across my chronograph and they averaged 264.6 fps with a high of 280.3 fps and a low of 245.4 fps with Peak .22 wadcutters, a chinese brand, that average 13.9 grs. I've got the same gun in .177 cal. It avgeraged 302.6 fps, high 339.7, low 268.4, also with Peaks that average 8.6 grs. The guns are Industry Brand S2-1's made by the Shanghi Air Gun Factory. They're fairly accurate. The pellets that come with them make a good paper weight only. I took'em out of the wood stock and without disassembly any further, soaked them in gasoline over night and poured the gas thru them to get that brown packing grease out of them, and let them dry. Then sqiurted a little lube oil in them and cleaned the barrel before I tested them. Don't put petrolem based oil in the compression chamber. Good shooting, later! (Rosemary is my wife)

1st off this gun is awesome, the problem your having is the air soft pellets you need to get the Crossman black heavy weight 25 grams, there is also a 30 gram aluminum pellet that I use for tearing it up, but never on people, both can be bought on amazon, if that doesn't work your magazine is faulty,, once again the gun itself is amazing I have many and this one is the 1st one people wanna see, have fun!!!!

It shouldn't be a problem as long as you are not using pointed pellets. You should still expect to dent it up pretty good on misses. A couple of thoughts. First off, depending on the make of the pellet rifle, many manufacturers will list a FPS that can only be achieved by using alloy pellets (i.e. extremely light, and therefore less accurate). Therefore, you might getting more like 1000fps at the muzzle using lead pellets. My favorite target pellet is the RWS Meisterkugeln and it runs at 8.2grains. With that pellet this trap should be okay, but expect it to make a distinct sound when hit. I have one of these, and I put a rolled up small towel in the back to keep it less noticeable by my neighbors. It shouldn't be a problem as long as you are not using pointed pellets.

I have Browning made by Umarex 1000fps. I tested several "heavy" pellets with these, beeman pellets topping the list. I suggest try several types and weights to get the best accuracy. The faster you rifle shoot generally means the heavier the pellet for best accuracy. Mine shoots a 3/4" group at 25 yds. with these beeman pellets. Hope this helps!

It shoots pellets great but expect to much from bbs. Way more accurate with pellets.

Yes it was. But my husband was extremely disappointed in this pellet rifle. He cannot set it to shoot the same way twice. My son had one years ago & it was very accurate. This rifle is not accurate at all. Or else I bought a lemon.

Mine did need a small amount of calibration, my elevation line was too high. Fire at a fixed target from a padded flat surface. Mark your targets and check your calibration accordingly.

with or without the scope? If it was with the scope then check the tightness of the pivot fit/cocking barrel. Check the ammo, is it misshapen? Not balanced?
