NV051 Air Arms S510 Ultimate Sporter Pellet Testing (.177) 

Morning, hope all is well with you. Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻

Thank you, much appreciated 👍🏻. I'm glad the video was helpful.

Thank you for your comment, much appreciated. Glad you enjoyed the video. The S510 is my second Air Arms, while I do miss my old S400 (I was young and needed the money) the S510 is proving every bit as accurate with the added convenience of a magazine. I bought some .22 Hades to try in my other rifles, went to do some videos today and couldn't find them. Oh well, another day. Keep up the good work shooting squirrels, the grey bushy tails are second only to rats in my list of vermin needing to be eradicated.

@@nickvending9688 Hi Nick, thanks for your reply. Mostly I am shooting squirrels in my yard, with range of 12 - 30 yards. I saw another pellet test that indicated that the Hades starts to lose accuracy as you get out to 50+ yards, but they do fine closer in. So far they are working well for me; in fact, I did get one squirrel at 50 yds with the Hades, but that was a rare (my one and only) attempt at that range. When I first got my S510, I tested a lot of pellets and settled on the Hades for their accuracy, but probably also for their sex appeal (they were the new "magic" pellet then). Even though the Hades are doing well, after 2 years with the Air Arms, I think it's time for me to reassess, and so I do plan to do more testing of the AA Diablo Field 16 gr. and the JSB Diabolo Exact Jumbo 15.89 gr. and probably a few others in .22 Cal, to have some alternatives. Slugs get a lot of good press these days, but slugs seem not suitable for my location; I am in a subdivision and slugs would carry too much energy downrange if they got outside of my property. Anyway, it was a pleasure seeing your video and hearing from you. Thank you for sharing. Best regards, Jim

Good work with the 50 yard squirrel, all my guns are sub 12ftlb so I keep it to 30yards max. I can recommend the JSB Jumbo 15.89. Haven't tried the Air Arms in .22 yet, another recently purchased tin of pellets that has gone AWOL.

Thanks for the tip, much appreciated 👍🏻

Thank you for your comment. Thank you for the tip, much appreciated 👍🏻 I've now got some Hades to try. Hopefully at the range this weekend.

Hello, thank you for your comment much appreciated. I can feel another science episode coming.

Hello Phill, thank you for your comment much appreciated. The range is 25 yards. The rifle really isn't fussy, what also surprises me is the point of impact barely changes with different pellets, whereas changing the pellets in my spring air rifles requires significant changes to the zero. All in all, my S510 is a really great rifle, definitely a keeper. Hope this helps, please let me know if you have any questions and I will do my best to help 👍🏻

@@nickvending9688 hi nick thx for your reply I know what you mean in regards springers my 177 hw98 need some adjustment to the scope with different pellets but my 22 hw97 don't care it shoots anything pretty much the same not unlike your s510

Hello, thanks for your comment much appreciated. The range is 25 yards. The Air Arms pellets just seem to suit almost every gun I've tried them in, they must be doing something right. Great choice of gun, is yours regulated?

No, unregulated. I like the fact there is slightly less to maintain, but there doesn't seem to be a problem with consistency down to about 120bar. It is my first PCP that I have owned for about a week and I really like it. I still have the BSA airsporter .22 springer I bought in 1986, which is fine but the S510 is something else. I always though .22 for hunting, but the .177 AA would be more than capable. Thanks for the reply. @@nickvending9688

@@drleighmj mine is unregulated too, same reasoning. A friend has the regulated version, apart from seeming to be quieter than mine the accuracy is no different. I use mine for hunting wood pigeon and rats, it is more than capable.

Hello, thank you for your comment. The range is 25yards.
