Air Arms Owners Club

I've just acquired one today!...it's a .177, but I've noted pellets for sale in 4.5mm and 4.51mm, which should I go for?

Oh, and any pellet recommendations?...I was thinking AA Diablo Field for starters.

Cheers

All you can do is try them both,lead the barrel up with a few hundred pellets and see which calibre groups best.
AA field is a good start.

AADF 4.52 these are the ones I buy for my club, and I use them in all the club S400s, and my own pcps aswell brilliant pellets. Rog

4.50, 4.51, 4.52 ? Each barrel is slightly different depending on the tools used to make them. You won't really know until you've tried them all. I only ever use Air Arms or JSB though.

I have always used 4.52 AA Field Diabolo in my S510 superlite however keep meaning to try the other size .. yesterday while digging around on ebay I found a supplier (sundonmodelshop) who will ship in quantities of 50, 100 or multiple tins of 500 (2.99 for 50 : 3.99 for 100 : 11.49 for tin of 500 etc) then there is www.pelletperfect.co.uk who ship in quantities of 25 (GBP 1.15) either "from the tin" or "lubbed up"

Thanks for the replies chaps

I've ordered a tin of (4.52) 500 AA Diablo Field to start with; the rifle if near new anyway, so thought a few of these would be a good start.

Thanks, funnily enough, I ordered my tin of 5oo from sundonmodelshop via ebay.

Are you in Baughurst near Aldermaston, west Berks?

yup thats Baughurst (although its Hampshire by about 100 yds) .. so just around the corner from you <waves> small world

FYI KC Sports over in Wokingham stocks AA pellets (although not a massive stock - so I often call before dropping in) - GBP 10.99 per tin of 500. I mention it as its not much of a detour if you happen to be driving out of London and you fancy a back roads drive home to break up the M4

If you can buy "outers" of 10 tins to share at a club then I can recommend Uttings. Our club buys from them. With postage they would work out just over £9 for 4.51s
Next day delivery.
