If it's any help re pellets...I've bought the R10 from here...and they have a good variety of Field/Hunting pellets too.

As a recent airgun addict I'm still working trying to find  work out what works best in my guns.  Takes  me a fair bit of testing because half the "gatherings" of pellets are a problem between the trigger and the ground.  Both my .22 rifles shoot well with 14.7 Webley Accupell and OK with Stoeger 15.74 - both of which are a mid range price.

My 30 cal Hatsan shoots well with JSB and FX 44.75 - currently I'm using the JSBs.  This gun also shoots OK with Poly mags and H&N 50 grn slugs.

Ive only tried JSBs in my little 177 but have some Accupells  on the way from Ron Young to try.

As for my pistols  - the 177 Mark 1 shoots OK with both JSB and Gun City wad-cutters and the .22 Senior actually seems to shot OK with Gamo wad-cutters.

I'm mostly a pinker with a bit of pest control.   I don't do a great deal of plinking with the Hatsan as it will destroy most of my spinners.   I do regularly put  a few shots at paper, tin cans or plaster of Paris  figures to keep my eye in  - there is a group of turkeys that have started to come down my end of the road that I will use the Hatsan to sort out - I missed one with the Gamo two days ago - grazed across the top of its back as it run away.

I do put a lot of rounds through  all my other guns at time need to build up a stash of suitable pellets incase supplies become difficult.

As forcost, compared to rim and centrefire, it's not a genuine concern for me, despite the increases lately.  

I've put 100 pellets through 2 different rifles in two weeks and that's cost less than a hundy for a whole lot of fun.

I see baracuda match 10.5gr still cheap as, not in boxes anymore but i remember they were always a good performer.

The tightest groups i ever shoot with my prosport were crossman 7.9gr but they werent great in wind at longer rangers at FAC power but also performed best over the chrony which surprised me.

Predator polymags were great but $40 for 200 is to much as i can shoot 250 shots in an afternoon just for fun.

Field target trophy were great in my diana 54.

From memory prosport liked the cometa 10.34gr so im hoping the tx200 does also as it shoots the AA10.34gr well.

I shoot to kill not target level accuracy but i know if it stacks 5 pellets at 20m and 40m in a controlled enviroment then i should be good for rabbit head.

I usually practise shooting at small felt dots size of a rabbits eyeball.

Im not a member of trade me anymore but i see in the pellet section sometimes the suppliers only have a few tins avaliable of common proven pellets.

The prices are sky rocketing.

I remember when .22lr subs were $56 a brick of 500, now around $130 for 50 rnds

Pellets going the same way

JSB definitely out of favor with me, especially the .22 range.

Post Covid RWS brand remained available and H&N were always on the shelf.

Several brands have economy options and often they are indistinguishable.

I will post some options.

.177 comes into its own for target and plinking when looking at costs.

Spoke to Ron today he's secured more pellets so get them while you can except you Myson, your good to go.

I just spent half my diff rear money on pellets, but had to make a choice.

I think I need a sleave of predator polymags as well, prosport loves them.

I'm still trying to work out what pellets my guns like and will stock up a bit when I have settled on something for each gun.
