Been buying pellets off n on for a little bit.
Now that I have my scope issue resolved, I'm going to accuracy test.
The tube, 2nd from the right, has what looks like bronze points inside the hollow point.

Out of the pellets shown I would bet the far left to be the most accurate. You should add a basic diabolo and flat point to the test.

As my favorite Beeman pellets became hard to acquire for my R1/.20, ended up w/ the 13.73 gr. JSB Diabolo Exact .20 Cal.

Precise and hard-hitting, it's all I shoot now.


They clock ~ 750 fps out of my R1 Carbine.

Splattermatic, Your pellets in the tube, second from the right are H&N Hornet. Not the most accurate in my .22 rifles but not bad and they penetrate!

Centershot is right, Add a couple weights of diabolo and flat point to the test.

I used to buy the Sampler from Straight Shooters airguns when I added a new airgun to the mix but $35 +$17 for handling was a little steep...
It was cheaper than buying a tin of each of the 18 pellets though. He might make you a deal as he's retiring.

Test everything you can find and keep a spreadsheet of the results, it'll give you more time shooting and data doesn't lie.

The only place I've ever been able to find them with any regularity the past couple years is Midway, but I've gotten superb accuracy with Norma pellets out of a couple rifles, and they're not priced terribly.
