For a good choice of pellets there really are only 2 brands that I would recommend and that is H&N and JSB and as has been said steer clear of "Hunting Pellets" or any pointed pellets and if you are using a 125 dont use less than a 8.5 grain pellet.

It's a spammer, the big spam ads in the signature are a give away.

True that, but when you think about it they have to be shipped to the store anyway, then we throw (place carefully) then in our gun case or bag, put that in the boot of the car and drive to Wellington for a shoot, and back again.
Realistically more chance of us damaging them ...... |

If you decide to come to that open day, Alex also has a good range on site as well
Magair.co.nz Sportways.co.nz supply a good portion of the air gunning community also, and if you mention in your online order that you are a member of an nz forum, you'll get a discount applied to that and all future orders. Hunting and fishing stock Stoeger X-field pellets, which are rebranded h&n field target trophies Nzairarms on trademe sells the airarms branded pellets That should give you some starting places anyway :) Don't be afraid to try many different pellets, air guns are fussy creatures and tend to like one more than the rest, and you've got a lot of shooting to do to run in the spring etc so a good opportunity. Look for a domed head rather than a pointed "hunting" pellet, way more accurate |

There may be an open day at piako club soon, head along and bring your gun. If nothing else it'll be a day to shoot it, zero it, and have a bit of fun killing targets and paper
Date and times etc will be posted on this site when confirmed |

Gamo ts-10s are up in the weight, but don't hold your breath for any target grade accuracy from them, QC is not as good as some other brands.
They will give you an indication of what could be achieved , but once you switch to a better pellet your results will benefit as well. I'd go with the heavier end of what's available , light ones are not going to do your spring any favours, or accuracy. Light pellets break the sound barrier, sounds cool, but as they pass through it they become unstable and start spiralling, this is repeated again as they slow down as well, and you'll see this on paper when their point of impact looks more like a shotgun pattern. Heavies will travel slower, beat the breeze more, and should impact in a closer group if you're doing your part right . For hunting pests, heavies will have a better terminal energy as well, resulting in less follow up shots being needed, and getting a more humane kill |
