Q:

pellet selection for break in?

Should I find my best shooting pellet right away, and then use it for the entire break in time?

will the gun break in to the ammo you use, or should I use as may types a possible.

while it may be steep it is a good deal especially if you have a couple guns
i bought it befor and took 10 of each and did the test with 2 guns and you will be surprised how much more accurate a gun can be with a diff pellet
its not like this is going to be your guns main diet so what 35 bucks once?
i mean the guns run LOTS more than that and to find the most accurate pellet i think its worth if

You can always try this pretty nice selection and enough of each type to see what works best for you and your particular application

$35 for 625 pellets is a bit steep.

I knew right from the beginning I wanted heavier weight pellets so i juts picked 4 that looked good and got them. Funny thing is they all shoot equally as good as the other LOL I think im probably going to stick to the 18.1gr JSB’s just because they cost less than the H&N’s Although I really like the H&N Baracuda Match 21gr

My methods arent scientific but the heavier pellets seem to shoot slightly quieter than lighter ones and sound reduction is high on my important list.

That sampler is a good idea you can tell right away if your gun is going to shoot a certain pellet or not I just got some from a member named 2broke sent me them to try out with some others no charge good guy he and I did a deal on a barrel and been keeping in touch a bunch of great guys in here for sure!

H&N’s are doing pretty good for me.

Pellets are not to expensive so to get the most pleasure do not shoot crappy pellets…even to break in your gun.

Crosman Priemeres or MiesterKlugen are usually available locally and might be a good choice. For hunting I stick with Kodiaks and Premieres usually. JSB’s work well when you can find them.

for sure, I already ordered h&n baracuda and hollowpoint, as well as, jsb exact jumbo heavy, and rws super h-points.

They are in the mail with my rifle 😛

It’s good to know that the gun doesn’t settle into whatever pellet you choose.

thanks!

JSBs, Kodiaks, or CP. What ever shoots best.

I really doubt there is a ‘break in’ for an airgun. If you find a pellet that shoots well it will likely shoot well for the life of the gun.

Don’t worry about it just shoot the thing.

Cannot go wrong with Kodiaks and JSBs and at lower power levels it may like Crosmans.

Shoot and shoot some more
Welcome to the madness!
