I pulled my 2 PCPs out today for the 1st time in about 7 months. My Wolverine performed awesome but my BRK didn't which shocked me because it had been the best gun so far. I then realized I was using ultra cheapy crossman walmart pelleta that were really short. I think that might have been the problem. Wish I had taken some other types of pellets with me. I could watch the pellets stray allover the place like a curveball in baseball. Any ideas?
Brocock/BRK Ammo affect that much?

Sounds like they weren't stabilizing and cork screwed on you. Maybe too light and coming out too fast.

Its always best to find a projectile that gives you the power you want and that your gun likes then buy 10 or so tins of that projectile for that gun. You’ll find that works better than just throwing anything in it

Yes they can make a huge difference. Also the tune is very important. 14.3gr is very light for .22 pellets and can very easily be going way too fast

Any gun can shoot Crossman's , It is more if they hit what your aiming at .
Actually i do try Crosman's in every gun i bring home

Yes, you need to try an assortment of pellets to see what your gun likes and then stock up on those that perform the best for your purposes. Often, for popular guns, there's lots of good info here on the forum of which pellets/tunes people are having success with and that's usually a good starting point. But your own experimentation with other pellets can often reveal some sleepers.
But don't be quick to sell any pellets that happen to not shoot well in that particular gun, because they may shoot great in a different gun if you try more guns down the road. It's nice to already have an assortment of pellets on the shelf to experiment with. I always shake my head when I see people selling a tin or two of pellets simply because they didn't perform well in a specific gun. Let that pellet inventory build up over the years as you purchase them, at least by keeping a tin or two of each brand/model/weight. Saves a lot of time and money in the long run.
