Wondering what would be considered the standard everyday weight of a .22 pellet ? Standard plinking , 30 yard stuff ? Thanks

Depends on the gun/power output really. FTT 14.66gr or Exact 15.89gr are my typical go to. The JSB 18.13s work really well too but can get a bit loopy in low powered guns. At 30yds that doesn't matter much though so have at it if they work well.

If you are asking about your AA S510 then try the AA/FX/JSB 18.13 with the transfer port 1 click from max.

14-15 grain in a pellet id assume.
Like xman is 14.3 about as standard as it gets (you know that walk in everyday at walmart)
Maybe find a chart to review

Mo-Ron,
very nice table of .22 projectiles.
I'll throw another one in:
.22 pellets, limited to:
high quality (e.g., no Gamo)
high BC (e.g., min. 0.020)
sorted by weight
with published BC numbers

I'm going through comprehensive test of every 22 pellet I have in my Benji Trail NP2.
So far I've gone through 8 different pellets of increasing weight from the Predator GTO lead-free (11.75gr) to the H&N Baracuda 15 at 15.89gr. The most consistent velocities have been from the RWS Meisterkugeln at 14.0gr (avg MV 802 fps and SD 5.0 fps. Still have to run 7 more pellet tests doing the higher weight brands. But out of the lighter half I've tested I found the Meisterkugeln's most consistent. Most accurate were the H&N Baracuda Greens (12.96gr). Three 7-shot groups average 0.25" CTC size at 10m.

The old "standard" weight .22 caliber is around 14-1/2 grains, which seems to suit springers okay. For an Air Arms pcp the first thing that I think of would be 15.89 and 18.13 JSBs.

I like accurate and flat shooting not looping mortar arc . Rainbowing them in dont cut it.. lol
What range you shoot say to 50y. Set up 10m ,25y, and the 50. 10 and 50 should be close with 25 slightly high bit at 25 the less high the better/ flater trajectory

For a reasonably flat trajectory out to 50 yards you want around 800 fps MV. For the "favored" mid weight pellets (14-16 gr) that works out to a 20 fpe category rifle. Heavier pellets you'll need a PCP.

I'll rephrase. Assuming you want a flat trajectory, then to what range do you want that flatness? I believe it's a function of MV more than anything. For 25 yards and in 600 fps should be fine. For 50 yards you want 800 fps. If you start with that and you know the power of your airgun you can work backwards to a pellet weight that will get you the flatness at the range you want.
Caveat, IMO only beyond 50 yards should be considering slugs. The guidelines I'm proposing are based on pellets. regards
