Hey Bill,,,,,

My .177 Disco absolutely loves the cheap CPHP's that I pick up in Walmart.  I'll go through my records for the rifle and see what else it liked.  :)

HI Bill, mine likes the Crosman 10.5 gr. Utlra Mags.That is a good thing because they are cheaper than the boxed CPH. I get about 30 good shots in the 860 fps range before the poa starts to become a factor.

Same here.
My .177 disco loves the walmart $6.96 for 500 Crosman Premiere Hollow Points.
Hitting dime size targets at 40 yards is a piece of cake.

Bill, the number 1 pellet for my .177 Disco is the Crosman Ultramag (10.5) which is a heavier pellet.  Try it; mine loves it!

Mine shoots CP heavies in a ragged hole at 30 yards and i get 32 shots at an average 868 fps. my fill pressure is 2100 and it goes down to 1200 by the 32nd shot. i can still shoot it an my first sub 800 fps shot is number 47. teh heavies are great long distance ammo.

Big Bill:  Below picture are targets are 5 round groups from the10M range in the basement going through the pellet collection looking for the most accurate.  What came out on top are from best to worst: Beeman Kodiak  (right target) Crosman Premeir (box version) (right target) JSB Diablo Heavies (right target Eujin (right target)  The rest aren't worth the effort (terrible groups)    Semper Fi Tom

BB...one note, the BB Points you see in the left target...not sure what the name of the pellet is...but they are the ones with the copper BB fused to the lead pellet.  They're pretty accurate in my Disco also.

PS...The group labeled "Gretchen" was my wife shooting...don't remember what pellet....but it's definitely not a type of pellet...never really intended to share these targets, but keep them for reference.  Thought they'd be useful to you.
