Best FX impact pellet weight

[rodevans]

I know I will see answers that are widely varied, but I will ask anyway. Which pellet weight do you find the best?

I just got an impact last week, I've only tried JSB 15.83 so far.

Thanks for your expertise

I forgot to add caliber, its a .22

My 500mm .22 liner seems to like the JSB King Heavy 18.13 quite well. Five shot groups at 890fps yielded these one hole groups right and bottom .210 to .353. inches CTC at 50 yards. I haven't tried any others pellets in the Superior liner as yet.

good job.

Seems to me that if you can get 1/4" to 1/2" groups at 50 yards that you need look no further. I have looked for 18 gr JSB but everyone is out of stock at the moment.

I know what you mean about people being out of the different types of ammo. I was looking for the JSB 15.89 for awhile before I finally found some at Baker. They cost a bit more there but at least they had them. Also had trouble getting hold of some Meisterkugeln in the 7gr weight finally found them at Umarex. One needs to really scour the internet to find things sometimes. Things are totally insane in the world since the China virus came to be.

I'm really after some good results with a lighter weight pellet, that shoots well at a reduced FPE level out of the gun, to do some pesting. I have plenty of 15.89s and 13.4s but have yet not tested them out.
