Raw HM1000x pellet selection

[no.4shot]

I inherited this Raw from my dad last fall. With winter I hadn't had a chance to take it.out.to the range. Got it filled with air. Had a leak. Luckily Dad had a set of o rings. Figured that out. Filled it up with air and off to the range we went. What a blast! I am gonna order an assortment of pellets to test out. What's everyone's favorite pellet for their HM1000x?

Nice looking gun. Your dad had good taste. If it's a .22 try jsb 18.1 and jsb 25.4 rdn. If .25 cal, jsb 25.4 and 33.9 should work fine. Just noticed you are new member. Welcome aboard. 4 more useful post and you have access to full benefits of forum.

My .22 prefers the 25.39 series, FX, AEA, or JSB.

My .25 favors the JSB King Heavy MKI pellets.

Glad to have you on board.

What caliber?

Ah yes forgot the vitals. It is in fact a .22.

My HM1000x shot very well with the JSB 18.13 grain ..had an affinity for the 5.53
For a heavier pellet, Martin Rutterford recommended the MRD Shallows that shot very well.
did some groups at 100 yards with the shallows

Nice shooting. That what my groups looked like yesterday but at 50 yards with the 18.13. those are the only .22 pellets I had on hand. I feel like I can get it better.

You have the right tools.
Looks like a really nice set-up your dad gave you
Your rifle is fully capable of doing the same.
Look forward to your progress.
If you need targets....Thomas has a huge selection of printable targets in the "Target Shooting Challange" forum

Somewhere along the line I picked up some 50ft targets. That's what I used yesterday. I will give those a look though.

If you are shooting the 18gr pellets then they might be shooting a bit too hot. Get yourself a chronograph so you can tune it easier. Martin tunes the .22 RAW's for 25gr pellets, usually the MRD's with the shallow skirts like Manabeknives said above.

Got the 25 mrds coming. What is a good fps for those?

Very Nice gun!

So far my .22 cal. RAW HM1000x LRT likes JSB 18.1 grain pellets the best -> shooting about 910 to 925 fps.
You should be able to adjust your velocity with the Hammer Spring Adjustment .... give or take 50-75 fps.
My regulator is only set around 120/125 bar - that's all you should need for 18.1 of 25.34 JSB's.

Shoot in the early morning to avoid the wind because that's usually very important at 100 yards.
Or ........ learn to read the wind.

JSB 33.9 is a winner in my RAW HM. The JSB Hades a close second.

Hey Tex-Mex,
Beautiful Gun .

I would start with the tune it has and check accuracy. If, a big if a different tune is needed then anywhere from 880-970fps. Enjoy shooting it most of all!

So far one of the pellets my HM1000X likes best is the JTS 22.07 at 1000 FPS. I’ve shot two starlings at 145 yards with it. I can’t do it every time but the fact that it will do it at all is amazing to me.
