What pellets does your streak like ?
TerryM:
JSB 13.73 is the best .20 pellet out there. Still have a good supply and 3 or 4 tins of Benjamin cylindrical. Had some of the old plastic boxes but sold them when I saw what they were bringing on the bay.

😂
Don’t forget 11.42 HN a little flatter trajectory and last time I purchase were more cost effective than any others.

Like others have noted, I too have not really found my 'streak' to be pellet picky. (though not many to be picky from) I do have a couple of tins of the JSB 13.73, still one red box of the Sheridan domes, a half tin of the Benji cylindrical and a full (250) of the old Crosman Copperhead dome. I don't really see that big of a difference in group size at 20 - 30 yard distances. It would be nice if more companies would make some .20 cal. for decent prices but more and more people are jumping onto the "big bore" train. Personally if I need more power than my .25 cal will give then I break out the powder burners.

Agreed 100%.
As a matter of fact, I really have no business with the 3 .25 airguns I have. I don't hunt and I can certainly hit anything accurately and less expensively that I shoot at with a .177, .20, and .22. But it wouldn't be a rabbit hole without a rabbit or 2 in it... 8)
