What is the best 177 pellet?

Answer 1

Air Rifle pellets come in 4 basic types. Flat nose(Wadd-cutters) for targets. Pointed for distance. Hollow point for hunting and Round point pellets are a universal pellet. They also come in different weights. Light weighted pellets will fly faster but have a tendency to drift off target over a long distance. Heaver pellets fly slower but straighter as a general rule. Obviously a heavy pellet has more knockdown power than a light pellet.

You need to try different pellets in your rifle. It has been found that some pellets respond better and differently in different air rifles. So you need to try a variety to find out which one is best for your rifle.
