I have 2 springers and 1 pcp, all 177.

Light, fast pellets tend to be inaccurate. Gamo brags about their hi velocity (with super light pellets) but I’m pretty sure you aren’t going to hit much with them. I would be surprised though if they didn’t shoot well with heavy pellets, just much slower.


The FWB 124, which I’ve had for almost 40 years, is mid powered and will shoot 7gr (or so) and up pellets very well. The RWS 48 is more powerful and scatters the 7gr pellets but shoots heavier 9-10 gr pellets very accurately.

My PCP is very accurate with the heavy pellets 9-10gr, (JSB Heavies 10.3gr the best). The 7gr pellet groups look like shotgun patterns.

So, get a good pellet, matching the weight to the power of the gun, and I think most of them will do what you want.
