Heavy Pellets. Where?
Posted: Mon Aug 10, 2009 1:05 am
Hi All,
I'm trying to find really heavy (eg, 30gr or heavier) for my .22 air rifle.
I'm presently using Eun Jinn, but would like to find a heavier pellet with better manufacturing tolerances. But I have no idea if such a pellet is even available within Australia.
I've tried lighter pellets, but they tend to group like a shotgun. Does anyone have any suggestions?
The supplier suggested using .22 Rimfire heads and that they heard of someone who had tried this with excellent results, but I don't believe anyone manufactures these in Australia.
I also spoke to someone who makes ammunition (who also had the same model air rifle) and he said it would cost a fortune to start making .22 heads.
It spits out 28gr pellets at around 60 ft-lbs (comparable to a .22 rimfire) so I'm not too worried about trajectory loss - I just need the accuracy and the transonic/supersonic speed with lighter pellets seems to make them unstable.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
David.
