Heavy Pellets. Where?

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.

Hi David
I think Daystate sell their rangemaster .22's in about 30gn. Perhaps Lewis can help.
Not used them myself btw. I presume they we made to tame the Beaumont and Airwolf range

Thanks Stillair -

Lewis was very helpful, but I've tried the heaviest pellets he has and they are a little underweight still.

I'll keep an eye out for those pellets you mentioned - they might be helpful if I can find a supplier.

Thanks
David
