Best pellet you feed you Disco???
« on: March 08, 2010, 12:46:47 PM »
I'm curious if you fellows "especially the hunters of the group" could tell me what pellet your .22 caliber disco works best with?
I'm thinking most shots average around 30 to 40 yds.
I need weight , brand, and especially where you bought them.
And did the place have good prices and excellent shipping?
Thanks Ray

Mine also loves the H&N Baracuda match pellets. By far the best pellet. It also likes the JSB Exact Diablo Heavy 10.2 pellets. Those are the only two I will use in my disco.

Beeman Kodiaks are damn accurate in mine. For 30 yards and pest kills, I use the predators.

Thanks Jeff
I can't wait for you to post your findings here.
I've just ordered all the parts to build my own disco pistol  in .22 caliber.
Its gonna be long and cool.
I'm needing to order some .22 pellets today so they will be here by the time I get the parts from Crosman and get it built.
I'm a .177 man from way back, so this .22 stuff is all new to me.
I can hardly wait!!!!!!!!!!1
Thanks Ray

To be honest, I've sorta stayed away from .22 because of the local stores having crappy pellet selection in .22 caliber.
The local wallyworld only has the daisy wadcutters in.22, thats it!! No hunting pellets or nothing.
I can drive 30 miles to Dicks Sporting Goods but they have Gamo stuck up their butt bad.
Thats why I wanted opinions on the best pellet for a .22 because when I buy them, I'll buy them in "bulk" to save me on shipping and being prepared to keep from running out.
Plus, there are some rather large "night time" critters coming around my house that will require a "MAGNUM" touch if you  know what I mean :)
Thanks Ray

You can do a search like I did and read "everything" you can about it.
I wish I could tell you more in detail but my parts aren't even here yet.
I can tell you one thing.
I'm using a full size disco pressure tube, not cut down.
I'm wanting as many shots as possible.
So my pistol is gonna be more like a rifle with a pistol grip on it.
I also ordered the crosman stock so I can make it a carbine later if I want to.
Don't worry, I'll post pics as soon as I get it built!!!!!!

I've been shooting my first .22 for the past week..,And I am probably never going back to .177!  I was having way too many over penetration shots, and the prey would not go down. I have not had the chance to test on the crows yet, but i can say is it can shoot through my metal gas tank container

I feel bad for anything in my sights

Contact Darren at pacificpelletguns .com
pacificpelletguns@gmail.com
He's the disco pistol building guru from what I've heard.
You can also look up JeffS either on the yellow or the green crosman forums.
He's done tons of stuff with 2240's and PCP's
hope this helps

To answer the original question I've had good luck with Predators, H&N Barracudas, JSB 18's, Beeman FTS, RWS Super H point, Crosman premier, and H&N Field Targets just to name a few...As far as the best I'd say its between the JSB 18's and the H&N Field Targets. Of course that's just my experience.
so far:
Benjamin Marauder .22 w/ Leapers 3-9x50
Benjamin Discovery .22 w/ Leapers 3-9x32
RWS 48 .22 w/Leapers 3-9x32 AO
RWS 34P .22 w/ BSA 2-7x32 AO
Xisico B28 .22 w/ Leapers 3-9x50 AO --> sold
Gamo CFX .177 w/ Barska 3-12x40 AO
