Huben GK1 .22 recommended pellets for lower power (UK Sub6)

@scottblair Sounds like loose pellets moving around in the mag.

Nope, they're not moving around.

As mentioned there are GTOs, personally I have had better luck with the H&N lead free baracudas at 12.9gn. H&N also has Field Target Trophy Green at 9.57gn. I chose the Baracudas as they were heavier, I was pesting on a contract job and was required to use lead free ammo.

i have a version 3 GK1 22cal, from Kelly /Krazy , i told him that i have Jsb's 18's, but that i had 9000 Cphp's, kelly set it up to shoot 900 fps with the cphp 14. 's .when i received the pistol , i shot about 3 mags of jsb's, which were a little hard to seat & bent the skirts loading into the stock loading gate, so i switched to the cphp , & no more bent pellets then i [purchased a fast loading gate from Moistone, & every thing is great , the only jams (2) have been my fault, i forgot to close the loader gate, i have shot over1500 pellets (cphp's ) & it is all i will ever use ,$7.47 for 500 at Wm.. PS this is my last airgun purchase, thankfully i am done searching, i found what i was looking for..

I recommend using the JTS brand pellets for both the Huben pistol, and rifle. Their lead composition is much harder, and less prone to catching as they rotate around in the mag. The JSB's have long been my favorite pellets in all of my guns, but their softer lead doesn't do that well in the violent action of the Huben semi auto's.
At least, that is what I discovered with my Huben's. My .22 GK1 likes the JST 16gr. And my .22 K1, the JST 18gr.
Maybe try there 14gr version with your lower powered GK1?
Good luck,
Have fun!!!

n my .22 K1, my Go To is AEA, JTS 2nd best.

I've said this before and I'll see it again. Not every magazine that comes from the gk1 platform is the same size. They can vary from .2199 all the way to .224! Stop telling members that the reason they are having these issues is because they aren't doing it right. I have magazines that have needed seating and others who didn't need seating at all. Hell on my K1 I couldn't even use a pen to seat the AEA pellets because of how tight they fit where as my gk1 they would go about 1.5mm into the chamber but no further unless using brute force, and again, those pellets have a .2244 sized skirt.

Your experience is not mine. Out of curiosity, please measure your magazine's bore size with pin gauges (go/no go) and report back here. All revolvers require a way retain the ammunition and the K1 and the GK1 are no exception. On PBs, the method is the flanged case. In the air gun's world, it is the chamfer, so pellet and magazine bore size is critical.

In conclusion I use RWS Hobby’s in it, they work great and sit in the mag perfect, zero issues or blockages
