I have a Titan GP in .22 cal (soon to be tuned)and just ordered a Diana 34
What would be a preferred choice that would work well in both platforms
If you have either or both rifles and shoot the heavy's,whats a smart buy for them ?
TIA

Is there a better place to get this question answered ?
Or do people just not shoot the heavy lead in gas piston rigs?

People dont come here as much so thats probably why nobody answered. To answer you question heavy is in the eye of the beholder. For the guns you mentioned id go in the 14-18 range. 3 that shoot well in the range are the beeman/hn feild target trophy or feild target special in 14.66 gr. Theyare the same pellet and come in a few diff head sizes so pay attention to which ones you order. I run the 5.53 mm head size. There is a sticker on the bottom of the can that should say head size. Next is the jsb 15.9 and 18.1 gr. They shoot very well and are usually my top 3 pellets. For hunting the preds and hn crow magsare very good and shoot nice groups out of most of my gunsout to around the 30 yd mark. For mostly targets id go with a dome pellet. That are more accurate and will kill small game with authority. If its strictly hunting the preds or crow mags. Jsb and hn have samplers on the pyramyd air web site that are worth looking at. Hope this helps.

Cool,I was already looking at the H&N pretty hard,guess Ill try a can
Im not expecting the Titan to really sling the heavy stuff like I will the RWS 34
We got some big ole nasty Jack Rabbits that are known to run after being hit less then perfect,
they dont set up like the cotton tails and you often have to get them on the run.
Therefore the "bigger rock" theory just might work
Thanks
