pellet restock time

Well, I'm out of my old stock of pellets and have to find some more. I ordered some AA Fields in 4.51 die #10 and 4.52 die #44. My last pellets were 4.51's and were good in the 3 guns I have scoped. The supplier was out of Exacts so I will need to get some of them to test as well. All 3 TX's preferred the 4.52's, which seemed odd. One gun was pretty much equal at 25m with both pellets, but was slightly better at 50m with the 4.52's. One gun was much better at both distances with 4.52's and it was obvious. Now comes gun 3 and it shoots a very tight group at 25m with the die 10 4.51's and just a little less good with the other pellets. I moved out to 50m and the 4.51's wouldn't even shoot what I could call a group, but the 4.52 pellets grouped very well. I have to go with the less accurate, at 25m, 4.52 pellets on this gun, but I really will have to try another pellet die to make sure I don't miss this guns favorite pellet. I had this once before with an early MarkI #00321. It would absolutely one hole at 25m with H&N FTS pellets and just inside .5" with JSB Exacts. At 50m the Exacts were shooting groups of around 1" and the H&N's were close to 2". The joys of airgun shooting.
