After determining which pellet you'd like to try with your airgun, remember that you and you alone can check the grouping accuracy of that pellet with your airgun. All the listed pellets are of high quality but your airgun will like some more than others. The idea is to find which pellet in the velocity and power range you require will then group best with your airgun. Combining our information with your grouping tests makes a powerful combination. As we will do in every gun evaluation, we will start by saying that ANY airgun can be used for ANY purpose.
All airguns can be and are used for plinking, target shooting, pest control and hunting.
But with that said, most airguns fit best in one or two categories. And to make that consistent across all our evaluations, Straight Shooters has attempted to assign some attributes to the four categories mentioned above. We believe that these attributes are important to mention before speaking about a specific air rifle. These attributes are simply meant to be guidelines to help our readers decide which airgun best fits their needs. The ratings are based on our own experiences but your experiences may lead you to rate them a bit higher or lower.
