There are only a few .20 pellets currently available.

Both JSB and HN are good 5mm pellets.

H&N FTT  at 11.42 gr.
JSB Diabolo at 13.73 gr.
JSB Diabolo Heavy at 15.89 gr.

I still have some.
The bottom boxes are the original tin-can style.
I sent a box of the originals to Scott for his BlueStreak:

I never knew those semi waisted pellets were available in the plastic box era.
I thought it was always just the trashcan pellets in the yellow box and Diabolos in the red box, and of course the tall white tins that came before.

Gonna throw a curve ball... I have some .20 NSA slugs, both the 14.9 and 18.9.  Bought them on a whim (and if I can ever source a .20 barrel for my Leshiy Classis without breaking the bank)... plus I enjoy testing projectiles that resist the pervasive crosswinds here in the foothills.

My Blue Streak really likes slugs.  I know... pricey, a waste of a slug due to lower velocity etc... Except accurate ammo is never a waste if a gun likes it.  I still love shooting the JSB domes, wadcutters, and especially Polymags... but bucking the crosswinds and nailing a Michelob Ultra can 45 and more yards away at will is REALLY gratifying with a pumper equipped with a peep sight.   At the old house, I would have stuck to the Domes and wadcutters, with the Polymags for pesting.  But here, the slugs shine.

Besides what is mentioned above, there is H & N Baracuda. Sheridans are accurate air rifles & not picky. All will shoot well.
