Ruger Air Gun Pellet Ammunition- .22 Caliber 5.5mm Pointed 200count. Lead Pellets.

Most of my airguns are in .177 caliber. But, i do have one in .22 caliber. It's a Crosman 1322 that I replaced the plastic breech with a steel one, then put on a Centerpoint 4 power scope, and the Crosman skeleton stock. Makes for a fun, and super handy little multi-pump carbine. It has no other mods, and still has the stock 10.5" barrel. As usual, when I get a new airgun, I get a selection of appropriate pellets to try out. I got some Crosman hollow points, Destroyers, and Hunters, Benjamin hollow points, Daisy wadcutters (very inexpensive), Gamo Match wadcutters, Gamo round ball (just for fun). Then I stumbled on a tin of these Ruger Superpoints at Walmart. They only had one and I bought it. I found that none of the big airgun online stores listed these. I began the tests. I weeded out the pellets that through too many uncalled fliers, or otherwise grouped to large. This, at 10 -11 yards. I rejected the Gamos, as they were kind of all over the place, and were not consistent. I found the Crosman Premier hollow points just about as bad. I also tossed the Crosman pointed hunting pellets, and Destroyers. Three pellets made it to round two. These Rugers, the Benjamin hollow points, and the Daisy wadcutters. After much more shooting, I rated these three pellets, fro worst to best, the Benjamin hollow points, followed by the Daisy wadcutters, and best, these Ruger Superpoints. The Ruger pellets flat out killed the others. The Rugers easily got the tightest groups, with almost no fliers, and were the most consistent. The results seemed the same using either 6 or 8 pumps. I use this combination of airgun and pellet to shoot rats at night using small red or green led flashlights attached. The Crosman 1322 with these Ruger pellets drorats with authority. The Superpoint pellets, in this gun with me at the trigger are in a class by themselves. The Daisy wadcutters aren't too bad too, but will not group as tight as often. Most of these other pellets might give a decent group sometimes, but then will toss a pellet 1.5" out, our give a 1' group with no pellets touching. The Rugers always group great for me. I think the Daisy's are worth a try, and are a huge bargain at about $5.00 for 500. Now that Walmart shows these in stock, I am ordering 5 more tins soon.

Originally I purchased the widely used Crosman 14.3gr Premier pellets that many recommend as a all around great pellet. My newly purchase Kodiak X2 was a huge disappointment when I unboxed it and began trying to sight it in. I couldn't even get a 2 inch group at 15 feet until I bought these Ruger Superpoint pellets!! Not only did the pellets improve my groups they are actually holding a group of less than 1 inch at 20 yards shooting from a rest.
