Wadcutter Pellets
« on: May 01, 2010, 12:28:52 PM »
I 'm not or was not a fan of wadcutter pellets, because I did not target shoot very much. Now I find myself shooting a lot of paper targets and having fun. I've been using cheap Gamo match and Crosman pellets, because they were available local. However, I believe I can get tighter groups with better quality pellets.

Please recommend good quality wadcutter pellets for my untuned 177 Diana 48?

Thanks
Larry

I don't really shoot wadcutters very much but I think if I was going to start using them I might try some of the wadcutters that "H&N" have advertised, they look very nice.  I haven't shot any of them though so I'm just going on their looks and the reputation that "H&N" pellets have.   Maybe some of the GTA target shooters will chime in with their wisdom....

Hi Larry, You can Try RWS Meisterkugeln .177cal 8.2gr Wadcutters, RWS SuperMag 9.30gr and the H&N Match Wadcutters in your AG. I shoot all three in my Model 48, the best and most accurate for me are the RWS series pellets. If you are interested in shooting paper look us up in the Target Shooting Matches forum and join us for a target shoot out.........Shoot Safe and Enjoy......Bill

Yep, the RWS Meisterkugeln Wads are really uniform....they shoot excellent out of most of my airguns.  I don't use them only because I'm a cheap dude....I just use the cheapy Crosman Wads.  The RWS Hobby are not too bad also....but they're abit too light for most of my air rifles (1000fps).

Larry, the RWS wadcutters 8.2gr. are extremely accurate in most of my guns that are under 1000fps, and the 9.3 RWS Super Mags are not bad if you get up to 1000fps or a little above.  Great for killin' paper.  Shoot safe and have fun.
