what pellets work best in this gun?

The two guns I have had and a friends gun shoot the Crosman premier pellets extremely well

Ive had the best luck with the plain crossman domed in the tin . Inexpensive too!

Crosman premier hollow point work well, but 14 grain jsb exact work the best for me.

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

JSB Match Diabolo. EXACT Jumbo Express Diabolo 14.35gr. These pellets are made in the CZECH REPUBLIC. They are extremely accurate at 75 feet.

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.

None pointed pellets. Have had good results with RWS Meisterkugeln 7gr, RWS R 10 Match 7gr, RWS Diabolo Basic 7gr. All three wadcutter. The flat head loads even and doesn't stick out of clip to cause jamming. Aslo hard hitting and accurate.

That will depend entirely on the weight of the pellet. The gun is rated at 1650 fps with lightweight PBA ammo. I would not recommend using that as it can damage the gun internally. I would go for something 10 grains or heavier, that should bring the velocity down into a more acceptable and more accurate range.ThanksPyramyd Air Team

This pistol uses .177 cal. bbs, or the small round silver ones. The magazine is only equipped to handle these small metal BBs. Generally speaking, I have found that if the pistol has an orange tip to it, it will fire the plastic BBs. No orange tip, use metal small .177 cal. BBs.

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

With this air rifle being designed to only use pellets in the rifled barrel , I would say use pellets only - Rather than take a chance of messing up a nice rifle,and use a .22 caliber pellet rifle cleaning kit to clean the lead build up out of barrel every 200 rounds so it stays accurate .

Depends on the pellets used, the better pellet the less residue. But overall quick simple, oil it up and keep shooting. I got at least 100 shots in before needs cleaning.

As for accuracy it will depend what your gun likes to shoot the best. They work well in my beeman. Best thing to do is type ammo in for your model gun and see what people are saying. As far as killing power lol its a pellet and I don't think hollow vs dome makes a difference personally but I didn't run any tests.

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.

All I Can Tell Is , I Shot Alot Of Different Pellets In My RWS 34, And These Pellets In My Opinion Are Absolutely The Best. Try Some, I Would Be Surprised If You Didnt Like Them. Hope This Helped You. D.L. Miles

I have had the best luck with the jsb exact diablo 8.4gr as far as power and accuracy goes. I have a umarex octaine .177 that I have found to be very picky with pellets. Yours may differ...For what it's worth I would recommend trying a few different different brands and weights to see what shoots best for you

You should buy a test fire pack has different styles of pellets too see which holds a better firing group I have a gamo and that is the best that fired for my rifle.

I would stay away from steel, brass, copper, tipped pellets, my son shot clear though a full 55 gallon drum of kerosene that was a good thick drum with a 1200 fps .177 pellet rifle using a penetrator pellet. I was upset and had to scramble to find other containers to put it in since it was flowing out both sides.

I suggest using 0.20g bbs. They give you the highest fps while also giving the best accuracy.

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.

Any pellets or chips work as long as they are not too big. The only complaint I have about this awesome smoker is the pellet loading shoot. It's retarded to say the least....but once you find your knack for using it the smoker works quite well!!! I love mine!!!!
