My nice one got away, in a house burglary. A .20 cal Commemorative R1. Only twenty five made, numbered 0 to 25, in .20 cal. it'll show up some day.

Anyone have a .20 calibre air rifle?
- Thread starter msc
- Start date
The sad thing about that is that when it does it will probably have changed hands a couple times and whoever ended up with it will likely feel that they bought it legitimately and at a fair price.

Not quite sure why you've decided there's only one good pellet in .20 when any number of posters in this thread have repeatedly told you both the H&N 11.42's and JSB 13.73's will shoot very well for you no matter which rifle you might get.
Same people have also told you only 5 choices in pellets is not one bit of a problem either. Seems to be the same sad mindset that unless there's 20+ choices of pellets to try, the caliber just isn't worth it.
If you haven't already, go ask your same questions in the UK forums and while you'll get detractors of the caliber over there, you'll also get just as many saying the same things we are here.

I'm a huge .20 fan, albeit at higher power levels than OP is talking.
I primarily shoot the JSB .20/13.73 @ around 800 fps and the JSB .20/15.89 @ around 915fps, 20 and 30fpe respectively.
One of the reasons the .20 is my favorite caliber is BECAUSE of the pellet options, not in spite of. Neither of these pellets need sorted or any of the other voodoo black magic crap that guys try to utilize to get junky pellets to shoot well.
Both weights of JSB .20s will shoot well straight out of the tin.

I wasouldnt stock up yet. My 97k didn’t kilt the light weight pellets much at all, but the 13.73’s shot great. Each gun can be a little different in its pellet preference.

In my opinion .20 cal is perfect, l own a hw 97 in .177 cal/hw 77 in .177 cal and a hw 100 in .22 also a Diana 54 airking in .22 cal, my favourite is the .20 cal for me it works great not saying there's anything wrong with my .177 cal air rifle's at all my only issue here in Western Australia .20 it is very hard to get in different styles of pellets infact anywhere in Aussie also l've noticed there's not a great variety period the world wide. Cheers

I have a pretty nice selection of .20 cals in stock, but only recently purchased a couple Weihrauch's rifles and started them with JSB 13.79s. I never had a reason to even try anything else.

Yea .. at last count this spring was sitting on no less than @ 42 tins of 500 count JSB 13.73's and another 20++ tins of misc H&N, heavier JSB's along with 4 boxes of Crosman 625 count.
Very doubtful I'll need to purchase .20's until such as time I'm no longer shooting.

I recently purchased a HW95 in .20 and its the best springer I have owned to date. Smooth cocking and very accurate. I tried two pellets both H&N and settled on the 11.42gr. Rumor has it the .20s are better built, don't know that its true but I'm loving mine. BTW it's the FAC as I live in the US.
