Hi everyone!
I finally got my TX200 yestoday and I was really shocked at how nice this rifle looks.
Of course I can't just look at it and I brought it out to sight it in and see how it shoots.
Well, I thought that RWS superdomes would be good for it but they were all over the place. I chronied them and they were going 750-760fps and they weigh 14.5gr
I took JSB Exacts and they weigh 14.3gr but they were going 696-719 fps. They even went 400fps two times. What the hell. I thought for a moment the spring has problem but then I went back to superdomes and they were going again consistent 750-760fps. Doesn't make any sense to me JSB are lighter but going slower.
Than I took Polymag Predator which weigh 16gr and they were going 694-698fps.
Can anyone tell me why lighter JSB going slower. Maybe the fit is not snugg enough.
Anyway, what is the best pellet for TX200 from your experience?
Thank you

My TX Loves JSB's and CP's. But of course iti is a .177.

Thank you Gene!
Any idea why lighter JSB going slower than heavier Superdomes in my gun?

I see that allot but the only logic I can come up with is the design of the pellet skirts and how they fit the bore.
