Title: Best pellet
Post by: Replay on June 09, 2020, 05:55:07 PM
Whats do you think the best pellet is in .22 for a 12lbs rapid, I normally shoot field target trophy,  weighing in at around 14.66 grains, But i find the best pellet at around the same ish weight is Accupell in .22 again.

My mk1 sub 12 loves Air Arms field, they are 16 grains. Got some jsb rs Diablo 13.4 they shoot well through it too.

My diet of ammo for my .22 rapid is AA Diabolo Field 16 Grains.
My diet of ammo for my .20 rapid is FTT.

Sub-12 choice has been virtually the same as my FAC... depends on the die and batch but AADF, JSB, FX in 5.52 are pretty damned good.

Barrel before that was tight choked, Premier /Accupel... and the marmite Logun Penetrator.
I tried those as soon as I'd found out that the choke had bit of a squeeze.

Haven't got on with H&N FTT, if anything I've found that their sizing runs to generous proportions.

Give JSB Strattons a try, they seem to shoot great in .22 Rapids.

^^^^this.   I have tried them in both my mk1 and HW100 and they are excellent.  You don't want to like them, but group size says you will  8)
