Airgun Pellet FAQs
The best calibre depends on how you use your air rifle. .177 pellets are ideal for target shooting thanks to their flatter trajectory and excellent accuracy, while .22 pellets are the most popular choice for hunting because they deliver greater impact energy. .20 pellets offer a balance between the two, and .25 pellets are generally used in higher-powered FAC air rifles where maximum stopping power is required.
For hunting, domed and hollow point pellets are the most popular choices. Domed pellets offer excellent accuracy and retained energy over longer distances, while hollow point pellets are designed to expand on impact for increased stopping power. At Bamfords Online, we stock trusted hunting pellets from leading brands including JSB, H&N, RWS and FX Airguns.
For target shooting, consistency and accuracy are the priority. Match-grade wadcutter pellets are commonly used for indoor and competition shooting, while premium domed pellets perform exceptionally well for outdoor targets and longer distances. Every air rifle is different, so testing several pellet brands and head sizes is the best way to find the most accurate option.
All four brands produce premium-quality pellets, but each has its own characteristics.
- JSB – Renowned for outstanding consistency and accuracy, making them a favourite for both competition shooters and hunters.
- H&N – Offers a wide choice of pellet styles and weights for target shooting, pest control and hunting.
- RWS – A long-established German manufacturer producing reliable, high-quality pellets for every shooting discipline.
- FX Airguns – Designed to complement high-performance PCP air rifles, with premium manufacturing and excellent consistency.
Many shooters find their rifle has a preference for one brand over another, so it's worth trying a few options.
Every air rifle has its own barrel characteristics, meaning no single pellet is perfect for every rifle. The best approach is to test several brands, weights and head sizes at your normal shooting distance and compare the group sizes. Once you find the pellet your rifle shoots most accurately, stick with that brand and specification for consistent performance.
