Pellet testing

Hoping this is the right section  :-\

Never done it before but would like to scientifically test a few pellets for the Rapid to find what diet gives best accuracy at 30yrds (appreciating I have to do my bit well).

Where do you guys normally go for a decent small-batch pellet selection?
Seems daft to buy full tins when I'll clearly know after experimenting with 10-20 shots strings.

Is there a well-stocked hunting-pellet-hoarder on here willing to compile a 10x20 or 20x10 batch I can buy (to keep it in the family)?

Open to suggestions on makes & models you find best for .22 & 11.7ft.lbs.

A good start to finding what your barrel likes.
I'm not a fan of pointed though to many flyers.
Keep us updated when you find the perfect ammo for your barrel.

So this turned up... Someone loves their job!

Meticulously packaged and labelled, top quality product, all ready for testing.... Highly recommended!

Very nice.
You now have to get out and keep us updated as to how you get on and let us know what diet of ammo your barrel likes.

Although many barrels are different maybe we can point in the right direction of what has worked or hasnt worked for others?
