I made this video to find out what’s the best pellet for shooting apples. The Beeman Crow-magnum and wadcutter pellets seem to do the most damage. Round nose pellets appeared to deliver the least amount of carnage.
I fired several different kinds of .22 caliber pellets through my Walther Talon Magnum in order to find the most accurate pellet. All shots were fired at a distance of 25 feet. Here are the results: Make and Model ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Group Size in inches JSB Match Diabolo Exact Jumbo Heavy ~~~~ 0.194 Beeman Kodiak Extra Heavy ~~~~~~~~~~~~0.240 Crossman Pointed ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~0.336 Beeman H&N Match Wadcutter~~~~~~~~~~0.351 Predator Polymag~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 0.362 Beeman FTS Double Gold~~~~~~~~~~~~~~0.368 JSB Match Diabolo Exact Jumbo Monster~~0.382 Beeman Crow-Magnum~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~0.383 H&N Silver Point~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~0.484 JSB Match Diabolo Exact Jumbo RS~~~~~~0.497 EUNJIN~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~0.509 RWS Superpoint Extra~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~0.625 Crossman Premier Hollow Point~~~~~~~~~0.625 Beeman Laser~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~0.683 H&N Rabbit Magnum II~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~0.775 Skenco Hyper-velocity Field Pellets~~~~~~~1.580
I purchased lots of different pellets to see which performs best from my Walther Talon Magnum. Here are the results: 1) Crosman Pointed - .249″ 2) RWS Superpoint Extra - .249″ 3) Beeman Kodiak Extra Heavy - .343″ 4) Predator Polymag - .343″ 5) Beeman FTS Double Gold - .375″ 6) Beeman Crow-Magnum - .405″ 7) Crosman Premier Hollow Point - .436″ JSB Match Diabolo Exact Jumbo Heavy - .468″ 9) EUNJIN 28.4 gr - .468″ 10) JSB Match Diabolo Exact Jumbo RS - .499″ 11) H&N Silver Point - .499″ 12) JSB Match Diabolo Exact Jumbo Monster - .656″ 13) Beeman H&N Match Wadcutter - .718″ 14) H&N Rabbit Magnum II - .874″ 15) Beeman Laser - 1.468″ 16) Skenco Hyper-velocity Field Pellets - 1.780 This test was performed in my garage at 10 meters with my .22 caliber Walther Talon Magnum air rifle. The optic mounted on the rifle is a Centerpoint Adventure Class 4-16×40mm. The parallax adjustment was set to just over 10 yards. The results of this test will vary greatly on different makes of air rifles, so I encourage you to perform your own accuracy tests.
