HW30S pellet recommendation
- Thread starter peaceful_ruler
- Start date
If you're talking about the 177 10.5 gr pellets, just be aware those are on the heavy side for that power plant. You'll likely lose a good deal of velocity and energy. Spring life will likely suffer a bit. Typically Hw30s are best suited to lighter 7 to 8 grain pellets. A little over that is OK. A chronograph will show you if they're good for the gun or not. The lower the energy the harder the pellet is on the gun.
Accuracy is another issue. The most efficient (highest energy) pellets aren't necessarily the most accurate. I try to find a pellet that provides the best combination of accuracy and then energy. If you're getting great accuracy with the Benjamin's and don't need the power and velocity then stay with them. Just keep in mind you may be changing out a spring a little earlier. If you're talking about the 22 version that's fine for the gun.
Be well

Ron can spout all he wants about springs and such. Bottom line is springs are consumables along with seals and you'll have to replace them at some point anyway. Accuracy trumps power, so if the Benji's shoot that well for you? Go shoot them and enjoy yourself
