Best pellet for use

   So it turns out i have 4 pellets that shoot well out of hw97.
H&n field target
Exact 16gain
Aa deablo field
Jbs jumbo heavy.
All four are suitable for hunting. I can zero on one and then use dial to to zero the other pellets.
So essentially i can run a pull though through fire half a dozen shots before hunting and be zeroed for that pellet.
Yet common air gun lore is stick to one pellet when you find the most accurate.
I've found this absolutely wrong and see it as a target shooting practice that has broached over into general air gun law.
