: BAM B26 .22 and .177 Pellet Poll
: BumbleShot July 16, 2009, 01:20:51 PM

So far my .22 B26 likes Beeman FTS best.  I made the poll so that .177 and .22 are included.

I'm shopping for a few more pellets to try this weekend.

I have tried Exact, Superdomes, Superdome HPs, FTS and Gamo Hunters.  I have yet to try Predators, CPLs, CPLHPs and more.  Just wondering which pellets your rifles have been successful with so far.  I'll try to include as many pellets as I can.

I did not include the heavy pellets the tuners suggest avoiding (with the exception of Kodiacs in .177, and left a slot open for inclusions I may have missed for members to edit.  Also, I kept the choices to usable hunting pellets (round nose) more or less.

Enjoy!

My MM B-26 .22 likes CPL's 14.3 gr as well as anything.  My former MM B-26 .177 was also partial to Beeman FTS which, I believe, are 8.7 gr, but also shot JSB Exacts and CPL's almost as well.

My .177 MM B26 shoots CPHPs the best - Lucky Me. It likes JSB Exacts almost as much. I have also tried RWS Superdome amd Meisterkugeln with pretty good success. Terry

Mine shoots CPL's, CPH's and quite a few other pellets very well,,, but right now she's dialed in for Predators which she loves as much as the other pellets....

My B26-2 shoots great with Superdomes.

Agree with Superdomes. Crosman Premier would be second choice but I had to pick only one.

I just tried 6 different, all .22.  RWS HP, Super Point, Super Dome. They all tumbled  at 12 yards but did have a close pattern.  The three others had tight patterns and did not tumble. Peak Flat Nose, and the other two that I submitted to the poll, JSB Exact and Daisy Flat Nose.   Frank

My .177 MM B26 shoots CPHPs (from Walmart) the best. It does not like JSB Exacts. I have also tried RWS Superdome, RWS Supermags, and Beeman FTS with pretty good success.

: Just tried Predators yesterday! Good news!

And she likes them as much as the FTS!  I'm a happy camper, except I think my scope is needing a replacement.  My scope was giving me 1.5" groups at 15 yards.  Took it off and I was getting .75" groups on iron sights.  Oh well.  These things happen.

It's a thrill to see her shoot the same group with practice rounds as she does with the Predators.  Looking forward to cottontail and squirrel season.  My B40 hates Predators, but loves CPLs.  But that's another story.
