New Pellet Database

[sathya.sniper]

Hello every one its been some time since i have made new topic after my IHP 35 .177 sneak peak
So i bought a new weigh scale machine to weigh pellets because as we try to tune our air rifle while finding the energy of a rifle knowing the weight of the pellet is so important.
Git it yesterday, i had some .177 and .22 pellets (Indian made) so thought of making some reading on their weights and post them on the forum so that some of us will be benefited
I have added ten weigh strings of each pellets below their respective pic.

Now first pellets in .177
1. G Smith Amature

8.4, 8.2, 8.3, 8.3, 8.0, 8.3, 8.4, 8.4, 8.0, 8.0 Avergae : 8.2 grains least: 8.0 gn & High: 8.4 gn
2. Master Shot (White Box)

7.9, 7.7, 8.0, 8.0, 8.0, 8.0, 8.2, 8.0, 7.7, 7.9 Avergae : 7.7 grains least: 8.0 gn & High: 8.2 gn
these two pellets were that i had this time
Now lets move for .22 pellets

this pellet is used in my frnd's Diana 350 mag .22 and it gives very good consistent accuracy.

My camera was low model camera so the pics were not so clear.
please post you suggestions

Dear sathya.sniper,

http://www.indiansforguns.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=19665

This topic had already come up - plus IFGian pratik_mahale has done some exhaustive research and published it. Most of those discussed were .177. May be you would like to merge all the info into a single thread ? Good luck.

Hi Satyasniper,
> As IFGian airgun_novice has pointed out there has been several inputs re: pellet weights....
> IFGians Pratik Mahale, Basu, Bennedose & yours truly have done exhaustive studies in this regard...
> While pellet weight is an important factor that concerns, accuracy, velocity, energy delivered etc....the most important & crucial factor as far as performance is concerned is the pellet's fitment in the breech, its overall design & ballistic properties....
> From the photographs you have posted one can make out the "rampant inconsistancy" in the pellet's shape....
> Their overall finish is very poor...
> Another good exrcise would be to compare RWS, JSB, Crosssman etc with our desi made pellets similar in weight & observe the differences in design, uniformity, construction etc.....
> I was truly impressed with the weighing machine / gadget you have procured....have you caliberated it? As otherwise your readings may go haywire
> I appreciate your interest & findings that provide useful information....

Dear sathya.sniper - Absolutely not an issue. Just wanted you to know that this topic has been touched upon and you could save yourself some time and effort. Plus any similar info inside a singular thread will always be welcome and more helpful. BTW, nice device you have there. Just day before I procured two of those from ebay, one for me and the other for pratik_mahale. Would definitely like to seek directions from you wrt its usage on different units. Plus will post info on two-three more .177 pellets: H&N Excite Econ, Wettkampf Gold and Dianashot shortly. Good initiative on your part, so please don't misinterpret my post. regs, A.

Its calibrated, i checked some random weight with a Jewelry shop weigh scale and it was the same results

Thanks to AGN who brought a pocket Digital Scale for me
This scale don’t have grain unit reading so I converted the final average reading of combine weight of 10 pellets in grains
I have 9 different types of .177 pellets Indian as well as imported
pellets readings are given below

> Good work Pratik on the pellet weight database
> IMHO - while some Indian made pellets are comparable in weight with the foreign made ones - Its the finish & fitment in the breech that make a pellet perform the best...
> In your experience "which one suits best in your AR"?
