Diana 240 Best Pellets for Accuracy ?.

[OldVet]

I want to get a Diana 240 for just plinking fun. Did my homework , and found the 240 would be great with a light cocking effort. I found one at Midway USA for $99 on backorder.
All I want is something in a springer that I can fun with in my 15 yard backyard. I would like to get some great accuracy from it tho , and that is why I'm asking here for help.
Anyone that has had luck with a certain pellet I would like to hear about it. Post target pics if I got um thanks.

Crosman Premier and JSB 7.87 is what I would start with after skimming Tom Galord's review.

I have 7 springers set up to shoot benchrest. 6 are .177. Most consistently accurate pellet in all 6, JSB 8.44 in 4.52 head size. Next best a toss up, Air Arms 8.4 or 10.3.

Beat Pellets for Accuracy ?​

Although I've never owned a D 240, I've found beating my pellets actually counter-productive to accuracy in every gun I tried them in.

How about JSB Exact Express.? Anyone. The Google AI said these were the best for the 240 4 tins cost as much as rifle

As with virtually any "what's best" question, typically there is no best only opinions and what the individual barrel performs best with. Test, test, test...

Yes I agree , but sometimes you can get lucky , and find a best within the first few tries. I ask to see what worked for others , so I could try to narrow it down a bit. From what people have said here , and a few different AI models that scan forums, and video reviews ect. So from what I have learned so far 7 , and 8 grain area with domed JSB I think it will be a good start. The 240 was my backyard in the city pick only 15 yards , but the biggest reason was the 20 lb cocking effort.
I know it's made in China, but when the backorder arrives for $99 It is just for fun after all. OV.

Almost always the best choice for the majority of .177s of medium power.

The fist is the Walmart gphp. If you break it in and ot shoots great on them there cheaper and local everyday Walmart to grab up as needed . Plus that still dont prevent you from trying out other stuff in-between . Like i got them norma pellets to goof around on. I gotten h&n and gamo , sig sauer ( they were nice shooting) .. ect , but main prllet is always cphp now gphp...
