Hi everyone, I'm quite new to airgunning & I'm currently dabbling with washing, weighing, lubing & sizing pellets.
I'm looking for an accurate .177 4.52 mm sizing tool does anyone have any suggestions ?
I have a daystate redwolf & it likes jsb exact 4.52 pellets.
Ps: does all this guff really make a difference?
Ok, I'm taking a deep breath because it's a very long answer that was well covered on the old forum, but it's not on this one yet.
I'm not going to go into it all as it's several articles and tests on it's own, but basically you have three schools of thought for three differently minded shooters.
1. Your plinker/range jockey or hunter will have the opinion that life is too short for all this rubbish, and pellets straight out the tin are all that you need, they don't measure tight groups, that's for zeroing and then you go for it
2. Those into BR on a more serious level will know for a fact that little things make a big difference to scores, so they will be all for this, but only or as much as they can see the results, which in most cases are a few mms @ 25m and less fliers (like 10mms
), but that makes the difference from a 9 to a 10 and can double the number of Xs, so for BR it's a definite thing
3. Lastly you have the HFT/FT comp guys, they shoot outside in the wind and rain, so the couple of mm difference you can gain in accuracy is quickly lost under real world conditions, so they tent to try and get the best batch numbers and stick with them - although the guys at the very top will also go down the BR route and spent time on their pellets
So that's a quick answer without all the science, as the site grows and we recover old data there will be more on this transferred over.
