Airgun Pellet DB

Very cool find! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing.....should be useful!!

Too bad they didn’t include ballistic information… BC, SD.

for currently available pellets, HardAir magazine has a pretty extensive database of Pellet BC's

Looks like a work in progress that depends on "users" to input the data. It *might* be a good resource with a lot of work and management... one day....

But not so much now.

Well I stumbled across the same database. I was going to post it, but the new interface told me that this thread covered it. So, I just revived the thread.

Do you think the database has improved in 9 months?

Thanks for sharing.

Thankyou this can be a useful
chart .
I saw a tin of H&N .25 wadcutter pellets , so i contacted H&N they said they made them 15 years ago , but are not on the market .

I think I have some 22 tins of the H&N WC in .25cal. Real applebusters @ 50 ft/ibs

wow maybe considered Antique pellets ? can i ask if you might sell 1 or 2 tins ? would love to try a benchrest target @ 75 or 100 meters

I believe the WC in the description is wadcutter (although I haven't seen many wadcutters beyond .22) . Probably not great for distance shooting. Rigby, please correct me if this is not the case.

I stumbled across an airgun pellet database, today. I have not seen this before. I did not find any mention of it in a search, here, either. Seems interesting. There appear to be a number of errors in the database, though.

same here not seen past .22 but when i saw a tin of wadcutter with a picture of flat nose wad cutter in .25 i just had to know if i could try some . I have always liked to try to push past design , bring back a memory of sitting on the basement floor and arching a dart the length of the basement to hit the bull on the floor at the other end 40 ft away

Here is an updated list of .22cal pellets — limited to high quality and high BC — with:

▪ BC numbers (from various tests and sources)
▪ Weight
▪ Type (HP for expansion)
▪ Head sizes, if available
▪ List of rebranded pellets

The BC numbers are culled from all kinds of sources, and I have added details when available (FPE, range, drag model used).

And to supplement to high BC pellets from the post above:
Here is an updated list of .22cal hollow point pellets — any quality and any BC:

Really more an HP Pellet Specs and Performance Chart,
with:

▪ BC numbers (from various tests and sources)
▪ Weight
▪ Type of head, type of hollow point, type of tip
▪ An evaluation of their probability to expand and to crush animal tissue, with a score for each pellet
▪ Tests if they can be shot at high velocity (to increase range for good HP expansion)

A lot of the BC numbers are non-existent on the interwebs — in the near future I hope to do some BC testing to supply better numbers to decide at what ranges an HP pellet might still be fast enough for the HP to expand.

You are correct!.

Today I use the .25cal match pellets in my Theoben Classic doing 19 ft/ibs. They are ok. I will here later post some results using these match pellets.

I can spare a tin or two.

I will next week be at our countryhouse and I will get them for you.
