Right chaps how good are the pellets you get now. I still have plenty of AA fields but wondered (as you do) what folk have settled on. So lets start a list of what you find works.

AA 410 extra is good with AA 22 fields and my .177 is good with AA fields 452. So I have stuck with these.

Whats good in yours?

Ive gone back to AA fields in 4.51 in my prosport after trying the lighter express from jsb and AA, the fields are more consistant more of the time especially in the wind,my s400 seems to like jsb in 8.4 in 4.52 but the barrel fouls after 200 shots

In my S410, .177, I have been totally satisfied with JSB Exacts for the last 12 months which can put 10 shots in a £1 coin size group at 50 yards.
I ran out of JSB and then found a tin of AA fields I’d forgotten I had which to my surprise proved equally as accurate.
Using my S200 .22 I found JSB Express to be as accurate as the Exacts but with a significant flattening of trajectory much to the dismay of 4 Jackdaws last week at 50 – 55 yards.
My shooting buddy is getting excellent performance using JSB express in his 177 S200 but the shorter pellets don’t sit well in the mag and he has to push each one home with a pen lid so they don’t rattle around and jam up.

I've settled on 4.53 JSB Exact in my TX 200 HC ...

AA Fields at 4.52 for the S200 and Prosport, with scope height and power almost identical it means little change in trajectory between rifles.
The S200 also likes Falcon accuracy plus but they are awful in the wind. I find the Fields benefit from a bit of "Pledge" treatment.

I am no good at doing links but there is a very interesting thread on another forum. just search 'JSB pellets massive report.'

A good read, it backs up what a few people have said about the lighter pellets.

I usually use JSB or a derivative but am now trying PAX HFT.

The PAX pellets production has been taken over by H&N.
I originally tried "Defiants" and got my best groups ever but the results didn't transfer to comp use.

I am currently trying the HFT and they're not doing too badly.
The HFT (Now called Sniper Medium) are 8.5 grain and the Defiants (Now called Sniper light) are 7.5 grain.

They may not suit every barrel but they are worth a try.

After many weeks of trying every different make, weight & size of pellet I could find I eventually settled on these.
TX200 HC, JSB Exact .177 4.52.
S200, H&N Sport .177 4.5 (8.18gr).

I'm currently getting good results with bisley lrg's in the r10, which has become my go to gun at the moment (sorry ), and aa fields when I pick up the s410
