The 2 best pellets in my Disco are Crossman Field Hunting 14.3 gr and JSB Exact 15.8 gr
Of course yours might like something different.

My Benjamin Discovery .22 shoots the Predator Polymags THE BEST.  JSB Exacts shoot pretty good but nothing like the Predators.  Air Arms Field pellets are fairly good as well.
I guess I got real lucky how my Disco likes Predators, since I do a lot of hunting.  At 20 yards I can consistantly shoot 0.2200" 5 shot groups with the front of the gun rested and my elbows on the table.

You made a good choice of pellets to try.  Like the ones you chose and what others recommended - I'd recommend JSB Exacts, Beeman Kodiaks, H&N pellets, and I'd maybe even give the Air Arms Field pellets a try.
Good Luck!

Top 2 pics are of 5 shot groups at 20 yards.  Last pic is a 3 shot group at 70 yards.

any h&n pellet or beeman extra heavy kodiak will work fine. the above pellets stand up to its reputation but it depends whats your useage and distance..jorge
