Give some H&N field target trophy pellets a try

Might try them or some JSB's. Are non-hollow point pellets a lot more accurate?

What's with this guy on Amazon selling "limited edition H&N Field Target Trophy Domed Airgun Pellets" for $60 for a 500 ct. tin?
Don't see anything about a limited edition pellet on H&N's website.

The domed pellets are going to be more accurate especially at a longer range. The RWS pellets are also good at least in my gun. Airguns of AZ has all those pellets Dave and I would not buy anything like those limited edition pellets you see on Amazon

[BigAl52]

Dave did you also buy one of those adapters that uses 2 of the CO2 tubes?

Dave, yes, as Al mentions, domed pellets have the edge in accuracy at distances past 30 or 35 yards. Out to those distances, I've had good accuracy from spire points and hollow points, but still get my best groups, overall, with domed pellets. For backyard and indoor work, though, most styles of pellets do pretty good. Try a variety of pellets and see what works best for your needs. That's part of the fun.

That said, for my match grade pistols/rifles designed to be shot at 10 meters I only use match grade wad cutters like the Meisters and the R10s, since these guns are built to shoot these pellets. Only exception is when I play at longer distances with these guns. Then I'll try domed pellets in them.

I’m going to try some domed pellets at 25 yards.

Probably some outside vendor selling things at an outrageously inflated price. I guess they can charge whatever they want but Amazon should at least be able to police them for false info. If there is in fact a "limited edition " pellet I would think it would be mentioned on H&N's site.

[North Country Gal]

Limited edition is nonsense. That's just criminal. I've never seen FTTs selling at such a ridiculous price and I use that pellet in a lot of our guns. If you're going to buy pellets online, buy them from a standard AG site like Pyramid or AoA.

They are out of stock everywhere I've looked. I did find this item on Amazon that allows you to remove a 88g tube without losing the charge, it's made by Umarex. I sent UmarexUSA a message asking if it would fit my 850M2 and also asked if they had a date when the 2x adapter would be available again.

Hope they will be available soon, one of the 40ct 12g tubes that I got for $16 is the equivalent of 5½-88g tubes that I am seeing at $20 for a 2 pack, so considerably cheaper to shoot the 12g tubes.

Amazon has single 12g adapters but it looks like the only way to see if they will work in my rifle is to buy one. They say you can use a single full 12g tube in the Umarex 2x, just leave one empty tube in it.

I'll have to try some domed pellets when I have a longer range, will be shooting through 2 wire fences so will have to adjust the target height to miss the wires. Right now 50' is about the max I can get from my target.
