After a hundreds of testings of more than 20 models of pellets, with my 4 breakbarrels, 2 PCPs and 1 single-stroke pump-action gun, in calibers .177 and .22, I came to the following conclusions: 1.) H&N's Field target trophy is by far the most "compatible" model for paper targeting (unlike some others, it did well with all of my guns); 2.) the H&N's Hornet is an absolute winner when it comes to hunting (it's precision, penetration and overall efficiency compared to those of Polymag, Metalmag and Redfire); 3.) JSB's Hades, the worst of them all: on paper targets, less accurate than ANY H&N; in hunting, not efficient enough, due to the poor "mushrooming", despite of the fact it is advertised as the one designed to easily "expand".
Cheers but I will be sticking with my regulated air arms S200, I've been tempted to get a springer recently but such tests just make me laugh. The old S200 will punch near single hole groups at 30mtrs all day long. Oh just been trying HnN Barracuda 18s, awesome pellets. Cheers
My HW95 for the first six months of it life loved the Airarms field diabolo 4.52's. Then the grouping opened up. Cleaned barrel and checked stock bolts. No joy. Tried QYS domed 9.56g and pellet on pellet at 30 yards now. My HW98 loves the same pellets too after loving the AAFD originally.
Thanks for this, the price of pellets these days is simple profiteering. ATI Airborne, Falcon Cs, Brocock Concept, SMK 9000, all .177 all good 10 pence groups with Superfield up to 25 m, 30 m start to open up a little.
I've gone through very many shooting channels, & most seem to be pushing the, "Top Brands" (JSB Hades. H&N etc) whereas, RWS, don't seem the need to give away pellets to Tube Channels. - Maybe RWS are happy with the Market Share??
Correct. And they both do a job at different price points. The German option is more refined, but the Chinese Remington does the job, if that's all you need. ATB PP
I picked up my remington express on Friday and I absolutely love it so far. I;m brand new to shooting but getting acceptable groups at 15 yards for now. Do you have any tips for me specific to the Express? Thanks man
I am glad I found this test of the Excite Hammer pellets. I have had the same (underwhelming) results from my HW57 and HW40 and I am glad that I am not the only one. The Excite Econ II are definitely better.
Great video my Friend but I think my other club members will not be amused when I stick some Fairy liquid bottles up on the range ( other washing up liquids are available) great fun though😊😊
I own a Remington Express in .22 with the synthetic stock and plastic open Iron sights. Wouldn't mind owning a Weiruach and having that good German quality. Also to combat the issues of the Remington Express loosening up, you can use a small amount of local time on the stock screws .
I bought a Remington express compact for my great nephew who’s eight and he was absolutely buzzing, more like speechless for a change! I think for the money the compact is one of the greater starter packages. Though I’m a Weihrauch man through and through and have two 95k’s in 177 and in 22 along with my gorgeous hw97k in blue laminate in 22 then lastly my go too grab and go hw 99s which has taken out so many rats that seem to come into my garden to make home under the sheds. Yes I could have bought him a hw30 package but if he wanted to take out a rabbit as he progresses the Remington has the power to do so and that was my reason of choosing the compact. But I’m getting older and my guns will be passed down to the kids if they enjoy the fun and sport as I have, and had a lifetime of enjoyment doing so.
I haven't shoot an air gun or any gun now for years (Ex Forces) But we have visitors the four legged rat type who seem to love coming into our garden and eating on the ground from around the bird feeder. Have just bought a Remington Express on offer new for just under £85.00 also brought a Hawke scope second hand so near on ready to go. Sold the scope that came with the remington for £15.00. As for how long the rifle will last for, I doubt I will be using it much. So if I get four years use from it I will be a happy bunny. Our gardens only 20 yards long with a six foot breeze block wall around it so no problems there. if I cannot hit a rat at under 20 yards even at my age I would be amazed. Will let you know how I get on. Good video have subscribed, all the best Cliff
I’ve noticed a few people mention they are Chinese. 90% + of scopes come out of China. It’s a price thing I think. A lot are made by the same companies under contract to different quality standards. I bought an Optics Warehouse own brand FFP Scope and it’s a Vector Optics…. Minefield I think! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣👍
I've now had my Remington .22 air express for 6 years and this amazing for the price & it lasts. I am surprised a Chinese made Remington shoots and lasts so long. Mines got 19 ft lbs of muzzle power. Likes crossman 14.3 pellets.
