The Webley Senior is relativity new - made sometime between 1959 and 1964 the Mark 1 is  older - possibly as early as 1947.   The Senior is interesting in that it has a phosphor-bronze ring as a piston seal - very similar to the rings on the pistons of a engine.  And yes I am older than my Webley Senior LOL!]]> Tue, 23 Jun 2026 21:16:13 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=817&PID=14770#14770 If not JSB, then what…? : The Meteor I had was manufactured... www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=817&PID=14760#14760 Author: Ashman

The Meteor I had was manufactured around that same time.  Great replacement for the Milbro 45 I started with.  Better power, better build quality and a great arm workout for a very scrawny trigger happy kid.]]> Mon, 22 Jun 2026 10:15:06 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=817&PID=14760#14760 If not JSB, then what…? : Crikey, how old do have to be... www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=817&PID=14759#14759 Author: Ashman

Sold my Gamo P900 a while ago and recently sold both my Gamo and Gold Cup.   Meteor is a very early Super Meteor - Serial number indicates it was manufactured 1967-69.

Ive currently got the Meteor and a Webley MK1 pistol in .177
A Diana 31 & Webley Senior pistol in .22 
a Hatsan Carnivore 135 in .30

My Gold Cup .177 rifle liked JSBS, though with only open sights tin cans at out to 40m was as far as I ever took it. 

Neither My Gamo or my Diana .22 seem to like JSB 14.35gr Exact Jumbo Express.  The best pellet I found for the Gamo was Webley Accupells followed very closely by Stoeger X-Hunt.     

Will be fully testing Accupells in my Diana when I get time - but initial testing has been positive.

Haven't really tested my 177 SA Meteor yet but will be starting with Accupells.

My Hatsan seems to like FX and JSBs about the same - using JSBs at present.

Holy ship you've got eclectic taste in rifles.  More makes than some gun shops.
What vintage is the Meteor?

The Apolos are usually very cheep, and I find with pellets, like most things in life, you get what u pay for.
If you want to test a new brand of pellets and give them a fair test, like when changing from H&N to JSB, or vice versa, you should always put 10 or 15 pellets through the barrel before checking for accuracy as the different lead recipes/hardnesses will each need a few shots to lead in the barrel before it will settle.
I find it’s not necessary if changing between weights or shapes of the same brand, as they will be made from the same lead, but definatly necessary when changing between different manufacturers.

With regards to the recoil of the .25, it’s hard to say…
Send it up to me and I’ll test it for you and let you know, but I might need it for a few months to ensure I can test it properly…

I'm running JSB Exact Diabolo in the .22 HW97, H & N FTT in the HW90 .22 and just had a 150 pellet session  with the HW90 .25 and tried Barracuda, Barracuda Hunter Extreme and Apollo domed(which were the worst of the lot by a pellet trap missing distance) then JSB Hades, which eventually were pretty good, and finally JSB Exact King, which, once the barrel had adjusted to them, were sharp as, with the last three groups all one hole 5 shot groups at 20m.
Am I just a pussy, or is there actual recoil from a full power .25?
