N/A Best bang (or plink) for the buck?

Great story! Did they let you shoot it? LOL!

Enjoy in good health!
Barely enough to sight it in with a chorus over my shoulder of "can we shoot yet" "can we shoot yet". And they were back at it today, plinking plastic army guys off a sawhorse at 25 yards. Didn't take them long to get deadly accurate off a sandbag. I'll have to remove that crutch to slow them down.
 
I bought the rifle from Joshua777. He sent the rifle with a tin of H&N Feild Target Trophy 5,5 mm / .22 cal. They seem to be working great. Are those the same as the 5.53s?
All the 22 FTTs are always listed as 5,5mm. That's European for 5.5 mm which is generic sizing for 22 cal. FTTs come in more finite sizes. 5.53, 5.54 and 5.55mm. Those sizes are listed on the back label. Some Weihrauch's respond better to one size more than another. I have the best luck 5.54. Most places only stock the 5.53s which I believe is the default size for 22 FTTs.

Yes. I have found that slightly oversized pellets perform better (because they stay in the breech!). Normal .22 ammo is 5.5, I purchase either 5.52 or 5.53 head size H&N Field Target Trophy pellets when I order them. Usually ten tins at a time. They are called sleeves for some reason.

Because they come in plastic sleeves of five or ten depending on pellet type or manufacturer. I didn't even know FTT 5.52s existed.
