Post by: Airwoods on March 23, 2017, 11:40:36 AM
I'm on my last half a tin of beeman fts .22 for my beeman r1,it shoots these great.ive heard that the h&n ftt are the same pellet but would like to hear from experience of what size I need to buy that would be closest to the fts pellets.Also see or is it an older ad that straight shooters has beeman fts pellets.Thanks

Same pellet at elevated price. I would try the 5.54 to start.

Same pellet, as a guess 5.53 or 5.54....not sure how the H&N version is an inflated price though as they come in a 500 count tin for $13.99 at PA vs the Beeman 200 count tin for $9.99 at Straight Shooters which would make 500 of them over $20.

Anything Beeman is an elevated price. Not the OEM product.

Due to inconsistent shooting with H&N I moved to JSB Exact.  Try to find one approximating the weight of whatever you've found works well for you.

My R1 loves JSB,  Shoots H&N and crosman the same, All over the place.

Thanks for the replies.Since my particular r1 shoots the fts really well I went ahead and ordered a couple of tins from straightshooters.Only place I could find that still sells fts pellets.Spoke with Kevin,really helpful and explained a lot to me about pellets and did say that the fts and h&n are the same pellet but the ones made for beeman seem to be more 5.5mm sized.
