I Have a Benjamin Varmint .22 NP for a couple of yrs. But I always noticed how the rounds seem to always be off a little. So to day I tested my pellets. shot them into a can of gelled paint. So what I found is that the pellets had little to no contact with the rifling. This explains why air rifles are so inaccurate and random.at times. So the pellets are all crosmans. the Hollow point Premier, hunting pointed, piranha hollow points.
The Premier mad the most contact at the rim of the head. which explains why its the most accurate out of the three. Next the hunting pointed had some and finally the piranha which the only marks on it where from the breech. most of the marks are from the breech on all of them. Basically I'm shooting a smooth bore unless I can find rounds that will make good contact with the rifling.
