Best pellets for TX200's?
- Thread starter Lewis
- Start date
I have tried many pellets, hand weighed and shot in a perfect indoor environment. My gun has a Vortek sub 12 ft lb kit in it. The JSB Exact 8.44 are the by far front runner unless you want to pay the price for the JSB Premier, and frankly, there is not that much difference.
I will tell you that what they say about break-in time is true. After now more than a year and thousands of rounds, my TX has turned into a real tack driver, performing better the more it gets shot. Out to 50 yards, while not apt of energy compared to my pcp’s, it is deadly accurate.
FYI, it also shoots the JSB10.34 and the Crosman Premier’s well. Mine does not like the H & N pellets at all.

I've owned two .22 TX200 rifles and both of them shot these pellets extremely well. I've taken chipmunks at 40+ yards and grey fox at 25 yards. The pellets are harder than lead so penetration is never a problem. Attached is my most recent chrony report, just look at the consistency of these pellets. Yes, they are more expensive, because they are made from a tin alloy. Try a tin and report back.

So far, but only tested at about 20 yards max:
.177 HW110 & .177 HW97K - H&N Baracuda Match, H&N FTT a close second
.177 R7 - JSB Exact RS (7.3g)
Eventually I want to take the 97 and 110 to the range I belong to and shoot them at 50 yards.

I tested more than a dozen pellets and both of my TX200s liked pellets with head diameters of 5.50 and 5.51. The tin pellets out performed all of the other pellets in both consistency and accuracy. Out to 35 yards, using a bag rest, I can hit a dime every time, the TX200 is that good with these pellets. These pellets are not heavy and work best at distances of 35yards or less using under 24ft/lbs muzzle energy. If you try a tin, please post your findings. Thanks

I use JSB or Air Arms 8.44 grain pellets in my 177 TX with the Votek 12fpe kit installed. It shoots great with that pellet but I do need to fall back and do more testing with H&N FTT and CPL. They both shot pretty good and I picked the JSB at the time because I had a bunch and FT was getting in full swing so I just kept using them.

My older Mk II in .177 loves Crosman Premier Lites from the box.
My newer Mk III likes them also but my thumb does not due to the tight fit but fortunatly it does great with JSB 8.44
My latest Mk III in 22 cal realy likes the cheap (Walmart) Crosman Premier Hollow Points, 14.3 gr.
All of my European toys seem to like different JSB varieties and Crossman. I keep trying different H&N and RWS pellets but have yet to find one that they like.
I will have to check out some of those H&N Green pellets that Glenn mentioned above.

I have an older Mk lll .22 with a TBT kit from the UK installed doing just over 12.5 fpe.
And it absolutely loves Air Arms Falcons.
Have taken many starlings out to 50yds and under a dime at 25yds on target's.
Tried several that shoot well but these work best in my rifle.
