What Pellet Do You Elect As Most Inaccurate

[Franklink]

.20 Benjamin Cylindricals in the black tin/current manufacturer. 

Worst accuracy ever. Can't hit a 9x11 sheet of paper at 30 yards calculator consistently.

It's funny how things work sometimes. The .177 H&N Sniper Magnums 14.97 gr never shot well out of anything I had and most of the reviews about it said it was a pellet that just didn't shoot well out of most guns.

Well, when I got my .177 Fortitude Gen2 I finally tried them in it and they shot really well! Better than the CPUM 10.5 pellets that give me 1 MOA or less out to 60 yards.

Of course, I went online looking to buy more and you guessed it, H&N had discontinued making them.

Oh well, I only have the one tin of 300 and have shot about 100 of those. So, I don't use them now. Too frustrating knowing that when that tin is gone, there will be no more.

I guess my point is that almost every pellet probably shoots very well out of some air gun, even if the consensus is that they are junk. Even the lowly Daisy pellets perform well in some guns. So, you never know and it is always really nice if/when you find that a really cheap pellet works very well in your gun. So, don't count them out until you try them (any pellet) in YOUR gun.

Tabulation so far

 

[BigT]

Crosman pointed in the milk containers 

 

[Scouty]

.22 Crow Magnum here as well. Look like the ideal close range rabbit pellet but even at close range indoors I get some wild fliers. 

 

[uhfradarwill]

These. I have had these for years and myself and friends have yet to find a gun that will shoot them!!

 

[darkskyy]

Not necessarily "most inaccurate" but my most disappointing pellet is the Baracuda 18gr. They won't group for anything out of anything I own.

Man I love them in the Uragan, way out performs any jsb pellet. 

 

[CyberDyneSystems]

I guess the lesson here is it is certainly a crapshoot! No one size fits all.

Right now of the ones I have tested, JSB Hades are the ones I am most disappointed in.

The most inaccurate pellets of all time were Lanes Special pellets from circa 1980….Made in England in a very purposeful looking tin, suggesting quality. They were introduced to compete with Eley Wasp, Bulldog and Marksman of the time..

The problem was the front head did not meet the rifling, especially in the English guns of the time, but the skirt was relatively tight. It resulted in a pellet that would not hit a barn door even if you held the muzzle against said door. Absolute nightmare….If you showed up anywhere with them, wry smiles would appear on faces, shooters trying to hold in laughs, or looks of bewilderment….

I do not care what you come up with….these were the worst of the worst..

Of the ones I tried, H&N cro mags. 

 

[cea1960]

Crow magnums. .177 and .22. After 25 yards they spiral so bad I was getting 2-3' groups at 40 yards.

 

[Dairyboy]

Original JSB .22 Monsters. In the guns I had I mean laser with the 16gr, 18gr and RD Monsters. At same distances couldn't even hit a piece of paper. Just trash. Or H&N pile-driver .22s.

 

[AirShot]

The most inaccurate pellets for my TX are the ones that dont shoot accurately!!

 

[Reidy]

Any pointy pellets are by far away the worst, hell they won't even work in the Daisy 856.

I agree. I've never shot an accurate pointed pellet BUT I have yet to shoot a polymag and I see many reviews of these shooting good groups.

I elect these Crosman SuperPells. Just looking at them hurts the eyes. This was what we had in the '50s on the farm. We had a Crosman 101, that I still have and use.

I had forgotten the superpels, I think they might be worse than the Gamo Roundball.

Crosman trash cans. In.22 we had a choice between them and Benjamins. The crosman were drier than a popcorn fart and the Benjamin were round nose and oily.

You mean these?

About the only pellet a British teen could get their hands on unless you were lucky enough to live near an RFD. Available in most fishing shops. Crappy but you made do with what you could get.

The thing with the crow magnum hollow point they have the same accuracy when loaded backwards!
