Title: Help Me Decide which Pellet Groups Best
Post by: sr1sws on September 02, 2014, 04:21:58 PM
I'm trying to decide which pellet is "best" for my Disco.  The attached image shows 9 strings of 3 pellets:

RWS Meisterkugeln 8.2 gr
RWS Super Mag 9.3 gr
H&N Match 8.18 gr

Strings were shot right after each other without switching pellets - that is, 3 strings of H&N were shot, then Super Mag, etc. 

Just based on my eyeball, I'd say the RWS SuperMags do best overall.

What do y'all think?

Thanks!
Steve

I would go with RWS Super Mag 9.3 gr.

I choose my best pellet at 30 yards, then 40 yards, then 50 yards. By the time I get to 50 yards I have the best pellet picked out, if not I have 2 best pellets. :)

Agree with booger...shoot them further and see what happens.

Also what head size stee you using?  Try a different size and see what happens as well.

Thanks... I'm limited in my range right now (suburbia), but I can eek out a bit more distance.  Most of my shooting is at this distance.

If that is your distance, then it really does not matter. Go cheap. :)

Yeah, none will break the bank.  The H&N Match are about $.033 each and the RWS about $.02.  I did determine that the gun no longer really cares for the Crosman Premium 10.5 gr in the brown box.  Unfortunately I have a full box.  I may try to return to Amazon or put them on eBay.

Oh, to clarify, the gun has been de-tuned to about 12fpe with 8.2 gr pellets.

Thanks for the input!
