Tried them with no luck. Thanks Mike. Craig

No love from the RWS Meisterklugen 8.2g Craig?

The FWB I've got has a really tight breech where all pellets fit SNUG. No loose pellets ever even the CPDs and PIRANHAS work all the time. These are on the heavy side and the rifle sounds like a tuned vortex when fired.
Everyone has to modify their HWs to do something not quite what comes out of the box but the FWB needs no tuning by any garage mechanic.

Last test I ran in one of mine, 5 shot groups at 10m. If I shoot 35-50 yds, AA Falcons, or JSB 7.3 RS. Been the same in all my FWB.

Depends what I'm doing with them. For 10 yard benchrest it shoots 4.50mm head sizeJSB Match Diabolo S100 Heavy Weight, 8.26gr best, it shoots their middle weight 8.02 gr well too. For 25 yard stuff it shoots 4.52mm head size AA Diabolo 7.87gr very well.

8.2 RWS Meisterkugeln.
RWS R10 is you have the coin..

Funny because the FWB 300 is not supposed to be pellet fussy at all.. :-\

My two are not fussy at all but do have their favorites.

While I have not tried it, I bet my 300s would put a BB in the bull.
LOL!

It doesn't matter what the FWB Sport gets fed as I said no preferences just speed differences in pellet weight. You'd think a Match Pistol HN pellet (really lite) would shoot radically different than a Crossman Premier PIRANHA or Dome (HEAVY at 10.5 grains) but the rifle is absolutely a joy in the .177--not like the HWs I have in .177 and definitely more consistent.
What I'm saying is my FWB has no pellet preference in accuracy but I can tell by the release the heavier ones 'feel' better on the action. The action works on the heavies the smoothest. The bore at the breech is really tight compared to HW breech chambers--I think that has something to do with it. And isn't the FWB Sport Choked?

RWS R10, Vogel and H&N.

So what are they?

AA 8.44gr in 4.52 head size and H&N sniper mediums 8.5gr also 4.52. JSB 8.44gr in 4.52s are good as well but the consistency is not uniform at all in terms of head size so have not bought them in years. Loyal to AA pellets in all calibers they come in..

RWS Meisterkugeln @ 10m up to 20, Air Arms Diabolo Express 7.87 (20+ yards).
-
Had several and rebuilt many. Never had a pellet picky one. Yes all guns and owners have a favorite pellet. If you have a 300/300s that is picky I would suggest checking the crown and or clean the barrel.
These old guns have great barrels and even the old club guns still are shooters after cleaning and rebuilding. In those days most all the true 10m guns had killer barrel.
I have even chopped some and no accuracy suffering. I shoot the JSB 7.87 WITH NO ACCURACY issues even past the 10m zone. These guns with 6 fpe are unbelievable in just what they can do. JMO

As always, another fine rifle OC!!
-
Thanks‼ You can not under estimate these guns.
Graphic picture‼
But here is a 35+ yard head shot with the JSB 7.87 propped off the front porch upright. You can call it luck If you want but the results show just what power 6 fpe can do. I saw the head fly off in the scope. Three guns can be TAC drivers in the right hands.

I have mine hot rodded with the macarri artic springs and one is shooting 8.44s at 650 fpe for right under 8fpe. I have shot field target with it and can actually drop targets at 55 yards with it. It a 5 mildot hold over to get out that far but it is very capable and accurate. The other I tried an o-ring in place of the steel ring and its only 5 fps slower than the steel ring one but much more consistent in ES of only 3 fps spread. Cant say its worth the effort to install o -ring without cutting it on cocking rod slot for no real gain in fpe. Just wanted to see if it was feasible to even do just for grins and giggles.
Great guns indeed.

Believe me I was surprised it still had enough energy to trigger the target to fall, they need a minimum of 4fpe to cause the target to fall. So it was amazing that a barely 8fpe gun could carry half its energy out to 55 yards to trip the targets. A buddy and me competed against each other in a monthly match just for grins and giggles.
We had a blast for sure.

While I've shot the heavier pellets in mine, the lighter ones (7.3 JSB RS pellet, for example) seems to group best in my rifle.
Yes, these low power rifles can reach out there. I finished the national FT competition in 2014 with a Haenel 303 Super - knocked the 50 meter squirrel right over - couldn't believe the shot! I may just take the FWB 300S out next year just for grins and try FT with it as well. Running FWB breech seal and piston bumper and Jim Maccari Arctic spring in mine.

Tell us about the Haenel. Almost an unheard of brand here in US. I understand that they made some outstanding target rifles.

Here's a post I made about it way back when...

I just rebuilt it again, but need to pull it apart and see what's going on. Lost power again...

Same exact setup in my 300 mini that I used in the FT match, my 300s has the FWB breech seal and buffer but has a o ring on the piston that has so far held up fine. They are fun accurate guns for more than just 10 meter shooting.

mainly shoot at a 50' indoor range [15.24 meters]. The JSB 7.33 and 8.4 both shoot well out of my 300S. The rifle has a slight preference for the 8.4 at this distance, although at true 10 meters the difference is almost non-existent. I have not shot any of the RWS match pellets I use in a Steyr pistol.

My FWB 300S loves the RWS Diabolo Basic in the green cans, which give me 5.3fpe. At ten yards, it's consistent enough to wonder why I'd bother with an expensive pellet. It is a real treat to shoot with the peep sight and make tiny groups on paper, or hit reactive targets.

Those green lids are hard to beat aren't they for paper punching? When I was doing 10M competition against myself......ha.......the R10's would punch 5 in a hole, as the green lid would put 4 in a hole and 1 cutting the hole. Not bad as when I bought a few sleeves they were a little over $5 a tin.
