Just joined this site a couple of weeks ago, right after I got my Big Cat. Found this site while looking for info about air rifles. I found out in a hurry that pellets can make all the diffrence in your shot groups. I just got done with my own comparison of 8 different pellets. My Cat doesn't like Crosman pointed, but the crosman wad cutter competition aren't to bad. The Cat likes Gamo Match 7.71 gr. or RWS Meisterkugen 8.2 gr. I'll get pictures of my targets and post them as soon as I can.
Got the pics, all targets were shot at 25' (my garage is only 30' long) from a bench rest, 3 shots per bullseye 4 bulls per target. tried to make every shot count, all were shot in one session. hope this helps.
The RWS pellets seem to be the best quality pellets, clean, uniform in size. Gamo match had the best shot group. Crosman wad cutters had an ok shot group and $4 for 500 makes them the best value. Gamo Hunter and Magnum pellets were ok size was not consistent some tight some loose on the hunter target group#4 all three pellets fit the same and stacked all three pellets. Crosman pointed were crazy, shot high and right with a large shot group. Cheapo china pellets did ok for as crapy as the the pellets fit, very inconsistant sizes, skirts were not round on most.
