.177 pellet with least variance in manufacturing

[1954]

Have a Walther Lever pellet rifle- Wells Fargo model. Love the gun. Bought extra magazines, have the original model- uses 2 12 gram co2 capsules. Usually use one new capsule, one used. Get about 7 magazines, 8 shots per so about 55 shots before changing it out.

As I load the magazines, sometimes the pellets just don’t fit so I discard those . Thought initially it might be the magazines but switching out the pellets solved the problem and prevented jams.

Am using Crosman Wadcutters. Will spend more money to get better consistency in the pellets. I believe I am seating the properly so it would appear to be some inconsistent manufacturing.

Any recommendations on another product and or seating advice is welcomed.

Simply the best right now are the premium match grade wadcutters. The JSB Premium are the most consistent diabolos you can buy right now.

But I have found that finding the pellet your gun likes means more than the quality of the pellet. It's only after you've found the pellet it most likes that you craze more perfect projectiles.

Thank you. Forgot to ask this question as well. When a pellet does not fully come out of the magazine, it end up some in barrel- some still in magazine. I’m wondering if the simplest way to dislodge the pellet is use my ram rod and carefully push the pellet back in the magazine, then
opening the loading and take magazine and pellet out. Would seem easier than forcing the magazine open and hoping for the best.

Hmm. I usually shoot the double shot into the dirt. Then make sure the barrel is clear before trying again.
