Head pellet recommendation to hw97

[Betohunter]

Hello friends of AGT.

Any recommendation for use in my hw97 .177 of pellets and head size, i know that each barrel is different but i think too that exist a commond or a majority.

H&N FTs 4.52 usually do well, or the Baracuda.

I use H&N FTT 4.52 8.64 Gr. BUT measurement of head sizes vary in the tins , doesn't really matter for pesting or shooting cans but in Competitions i sort one head size for the whole match. IT doesn't seem to matter if the head size is 4.51 or .52 , or .49 as long as all measure the same for that match .

Another vote for the 4.52 FTTs

The old boxed Crosman Premier Lites are the best I've ever used in any of my HWs. They are discontinued, but if you see any snatch them up. Sorting out the undersized ones from plain old Crosmans in the tin can do pretty damn well. If you find em local and have a way to check them, give it a try.

Other than that, the usual suspects in order of JSB 7.9gr, JSB 8.4gr, and the H&N FTT are where I'd start.

One caveat to the H&Ns, don't take the head size on the tin as gospel. The tins I've checked were basically the same despite being marked as different head sizes.

Every gun is different but my HW97 prefers 4.50 in FT’sand FTT’s. I’ve tried 4.51’s in both but they don’t seem to shoot as good.

My hw97k shoots most pellets well. That said, it is particularly accurate with the JSB 10.3s.

My 97 is accurate with FTT 4.50 size pellets. It'll usually keep 5 shots under a dime at 25 yards. I'm not sure about the headsize for JSB Express and Hades, but they are the most accurate pellets I've used.

Baracuda Match 10.65gr 452 head size. Five of my Weihrauchs prefer them.
