Most Common Pellet Types

Wadcutter Pellet: Wadcutter pallets are oftenly used for target
shooting practice, shooting competitions, and plinking. The flat head of
this airgun pellet allows you to make clean, round holes on the paper targets.


Diabolo Pellet: Diabolo pellet is just about the perfect
projectile in most standard-caliber guns, because they will work well
at subsonic velocities. ... Larger- caliber airguns also work more
efficiently, and the powerful big bores used for hunting larger game
utilize the heavier and more effective bullet for this type of hunting.


Pointed Pellet: Pointed pellets are designed for maximum
penetration in light and medium powered airguns. The best selling
models come from RWS, Beeman, H&N and JSB. Due to the head design,
pointed pellets often do not work well in the higher powered airguns.
However, for shooters using


.30 Caliber Pellets. Generelly a heavier pellet is desirable
for most hunting. The weight of a heavier pellet allows huntes
to use the higher-velocity guns on the market, yet still keep the
pellet below the speed of the sound for optimum accuracy. this results
in the most foot-pounds of energy (fpe) being delivered on target.
