What considerations for a less expensive 22 cal pellet for a semiauto???

[steve123]

I acquired a Steyr ProX which can go through a tin in short order. It's at the 30 fpe level of power. So my goal is to have decent precision at normal airgun distances like 20Y to 60Y.

Let's say if I could get sub 1" at 40Y most of time, then what pellet would you suggest?

Thanks

semi or full auto considerations .. 'less expensive' lol, whatever you can find ... my blitz chews up and spits out 500rd tins like dinner snacks lol ...

My Pro X Scout shot the Wally World crosmans just fine. You need to seat them in the mag to the same depth. They worked well for me. 


Good luck.

For plinking and just all round use I use Crosman 14.3g works fine in my SK in .22cal.

Word on the street is that these:

are THE magic pellet for the Steyr ProX

I now own 15 tins of Wally World Crosman Hollowpoints. Slightly more than a penny each. They shoot just fine. For competition, there are prolly better choices like JSB and Air Arms.

CPHPs shoot fine up to 50 yards. Seat them all the same in the magazine using something such as a modified golf tee or similar.

Yeah I thought I was funny too. 

You mean you don't want to run 30 cents per pellet in your new semiauto? Lol couldn't resist.

I found the JSB 18g to be excellent out to 70 yards..........just ask the feral pigeons. After that then not so good. Also found shooting at 28fpe to be the most accurate power setting. Hope this helps.

I'm using the 16gr right now but have a tin of 18's on hand. I need to order more asap.
