Which pellet is best for the Lelya?

[mamcrackin]

I am shooting Air Arms 10.3gr now with good results but I

am hoping to find a pellet that works even better.... Any

advise would be appreciated....

It depends on target you shoot. The best pellets for Edgun are JSB, but Crosman will also be fine. I quess, U use your Lelya for hunting?

[mamcrackin]

Thanks for the advise ceolos.... The Crosman hollow points shoot

really well out to about 20 meters then they start to become inaccurate...

I have not tried the Crosman Premier Heavy .177 Cal, 10.5 Gr pellets yet....

I shoot JSB in all of my .22 caliber guns with great results. This is the first

.177 caliber I have owned so I am not familiar with how the .177 performs

with different pellets.... I am not sure if you can get Air Arms where you live..

Air Arms are manufactured by JSB also... Both have the same results but Air

Arms are cheaper here. I will be using the Lelya for hunting and target shooting.

I have targets set up here every 5 yds from 10 to 65yds, then one at 80, and

100 yds to test the capabilities of rifle/pellet combinations... I also have a range

on another land that is 190yds... It is very interesting to shoot the Matador at

that distance.... My best group with the Matador @ 190yds is just under 6" diameter....

I will continue to test different pellets to see which will perform best in the Lelya...

Thanks again for your help and advise...

In .177 calier, the best way would be to test as much pellets as possible and select them to your barrel and the speed, that is quite a job but just remember to clean the barrel after each pellets and them let it "burn" with few dozens of shots to shoot the other kind of pellets.

Thanks Eduard.... I will follow your advise....

Gun is shooting about 800FPS with 10.3gr pellet....

Is this too fast, too slow, Average for the Lelya?

No, that is about to be normal speed for this pellet for Lelya.

[mamcrackin]

Thank you for that information Eduard.... And congratulations on

another beautiful, well built, and very precise gun.... Your guns

are a pleasure to shoot and amaze me every time I fire them...

They are on the top of the list (#1 for me) of the best air guns

in the world... I give you much praise for your efforts and a big

thanks to Tony for bringing them to the USA....

Thanks a lot for such a highly valuation of what I do ;)

One more question.... Are there better results with 4.51 or 4.52 diameter pellets?

I think these pellets are JSB Exact with Air Arms label.

[ceolos]

It's quite possible. Anyway, all of my friends use CP 10,5, and so do I. Results are not fantastic, but fine for that price :-)

[mamcrackin]

I think these pellets are JSB Exact with Air Arms label.

 

Yes these are the same as JSB only the diameter is available in different sizes...

[mamcrackin]

I have these ordered and I will report the results if any of these prove to be accurate...

Air Arms Diabolo Field 4.51mm diam, 8.44 Grains, Dome

Air Arms Diabolo Field 4.52mm diam, 8.44 Grains, Dome

H&N Field Target Trophy, 8.64 Grains, Dome

H&N Baracuda Match 10.65 Grains, Round Nose

H&N Silver Point 11.57 Grains, 11.57 Grain, Pointed

[zocoloco]

Lelya 090 is performing very well with Barracuda Match 10.65 grains.....

 

I am very impressed with this little lady !

[mamcrackin]

LOL.... Sounds great... I have shot the Barracuda, and several different weights from JSB.... It likes many pellets....

[Bluesman]

Jeff, try to use H&N Baracuda

[стас птз 78]

Hi, I use JSB exact heavy, in my opinion it is good pellets for my little loly, my experience is not so big, but I think I will use only this type of pellets. For Gamo Hunter 440 I use H&N Baracuda Match 10.65 Grains, Round Nose. It is also good pellets, but I never used it for loly, may be I should try to do it, Who knows may be will be same result? During next vacation I will try to use it, and after test, I will report.
