Alloy pellets for a magnum springer?

I guess with that pellet picky air gun thing you see i could recomend whats best in one of mine but may be the biggest hunk of junk pellet in yours .. ya know?

You just find somthing in your criteria buy them and try them and know whats best for your gun/ you.

I figured there would be a sampler pack of alloy pellets like from gamo or h&n whos big on them but ...?

You maybe better / cheaper to invest in a good trap that stops and holds pellets to easy collect spent shots for proper disposal..

That's what I ended up doing, since I have a .22lr trap. Plus like ChuckHunter said alloy is pricey right now.

I got some gamo red fire 15.43 I think, only .22 at my local Wally. I shot 4 times, first to make sure it worked, then 3 shots, shooting at a small black square on an old park map. The 3rd shot went center of the square, 60 foot open sites sitting in a lawn chair elbows on my legs, so I figured that was good enough for a start. There were campers next property over, so I didn't shoot more.

Take away: My '08-'09 460mag shoots both pellets I've ever tried well, cphp the other, and it doesn't seem sensitive to hold. It shoots very accurately for a non pcp. It's powerful and I can't see shooting it a bunch. My SSP and CO2 10 meter rifles and pistols are way more fun, and quieter. Great gun though for what it is.

Non-lead pellets with a rifle that powerful will likely be supersonic. Sonic crack aside they will go into trans-sonic buffet pretty close in ruining accuracy. Is lead out of the question?

No lead isn't out of the question, I have that really heavy .22LR steel trap. I only shoot open sites, so 30 yards, or so max, that trap would be hard to miss.
The first shot sounded kind of like a .22lr, but the next 3 were the regular twang, so lighter than 14.3 would be, like you said, too light. It's an amazing gun though, and a great place to shoot, heavily wooded with about 500 feet front to back.
