Has anyone found a .177 wadcutter that the FX Impact likes? If so at what velocity?
The best I've found from my testing is the RWS Supermag and even then I've only been able to get my groups down to 1.5 cm at 20 meters. (For comparison JSB Exact 10.34 are giving me one hole groups at that range...) Heck, my JSB Exact groups at 70 meters are roughly the same as the RWS Supermag at 20 meters!
I really like using wadcutters for small game at close ranges but they aren't much good if I can't put the pellet EXACTLY where it needs to be... To be fair I haven't yet tried the "redneck hollowpoint" (Backwards pellet) but I've tried quite a few different wadcutters at various velocities, all with mediocre accuracy results at best.
Could it be that the Impact just hates wadcutters?

Of course I could just suck it up and use the JSB Exact 10.34 and deal with the "over penetration" issue.
