Traditionally I have always used flat head pellets for my pest bird control, most of my shots are long range though. I tried hollow points, pointed too. In the end, the flat head and domed pellets seem to be the most accurate at long distance. The flat heads really put shock/killing power into the pest birds, amazed that they shoot so well considering that they have poor aerodynamics with the flat head. I bought the domed on my last purchase as I thought they would be better at penetration and aerodynamics.

I currently shoot the .177 caliber in both of my airguns as this has a flatter trajectory over the .22 that I used to use. I prefer the RWS brand, have had good luck with the Czech made stuff too. Anyone find the flat heads better for pest control over the domed?
