Which Gun Should I look At?

[anti-squirrel]

A flat surface of a wadcutter does not penetrate (as far), so delivers more of it's energy on impact.
 Contrary to common terminology, a hollow-point pellet vs a domed pellet, does not mushroom out like a PB hollow point vs a FMJ...

HPs do make a pretty nice meatslap sound though   I generally skip HPs though some of my airguns prefer them- mainly those shooting lower velocities.

Thanks I now see they are flat but what do that mean to impact on an animal wouldn't a hollow point slow down on impact more. Also I pulled the trigger on a flashpup synthetic paid $337 with an extra mag this way I'm under the $500 mark and doesn't hurt so bad.

Then this would be of no interest to you -

Of course they are shipping them out now, curious what the lead time is for a new purchase.

2 things how are the HP from a slug compared to pellets though I have the ones from fx and avs on hand I can try, and second I know all guns like something different but what's a good starting point for .22 wadcutters?

Name brand... RWS.. my .22 guns prefer the 13.73 gr "sports" over the lighter weight 11.9 gr "hobbies"... but nothing beats the 14.0 gr Meisterkugeln for accuracy.
I need to buy a couple tins of the JSB 13.73's

I concur with Scott.

I always have 2 full tins of RWS Meisterdangitkugelns on-hand because almost everything I own shoots them well if I keep velocity under 700 FPS.  My ideal velocity is right around 620-ish but keeping them between 400 to 700 works in my various airguns.  Now understand, I don't keep more than one tin of anything else on-hand.  H&N sells several different weights of wadcutters, Sig and Crosman sell wadcutters, as does JSB, Air Arms, Predator, Daisy, and Gamo.. The list goes on and on!

When it comes to pellet testing in a new airgun, I keep in mind the velocity- I won't bother shooting wadcutters out of my Varmint unless I need a good laugh.  It is shooting way too fast for them.  In my CO2 2400KT and my down-tuned Maximus, they shoot superb.  At the factory power level in my Maximus, I get better accuracy with JSB Exact Heavy domes and RWS Superdomes- so just be mindful of the power level/velocity.
