They normally like JSB's, AA's, and FX's.

My .22 caliber AA S5 favors 16g and 18g pellets of the aforesaid brands.

At 50 to 60 meters, 16g groups very nice, even better than 18g, but it just could not make a cut at 100 meters when it is windy.

Full power setting, sir.

My AA is the old unregulated version.

IIRIC, it would propel AA/JSB 18g pellets at 880 FPS, and a little over 900 FPS using 16g.

Air Arms or JSB Exacts should be winners. The AA brand tend to be a little smaller, and always shot better in mine.

Make sure your breech seal hasn't blown out or the stock screw isn't loose. POI will wander with stock screw tension on most SXXX series guns.
