Hi. I just purchased an rws Diana model 45 in .177. I'm just wondering if anyone has any recommendations on what type of .177 caliber pellet would work best with it I know break barrels are picky with what type of pellets work best thank you
Hello Adam, many years ago, the RWS45 was my first springer and I always shot the RWS Super Dome pellets because at the time, they were very accurate. I think I also shot the Crosman Premier 7.9 grain pellets as well but this was back in 1983.
 
Hi adam - the RWS 45 was also my first serious adult airgun. Absolutely wore that sucker out in the '80s. And then two days ago on a warm spring afternoon I pulled it off the rack for the first time in years and it was like travelling through the wayback machine. Hadn't shot it in a really long time, but the experience confirmed that it is still as fine a springer as anything in its niche. RWS Superdomes were the pellets that the vendors, Gerry and Carol Thomas, recommended and they were superb as were the 7.9 Premiers and H&N offerings. Today it seems to shoot well with any quality pellet, although you might want to try the RWS first.

enjoy your fine airgun!

My 45 likes Meisterkugeln pretty well.

Thank you very much I will definitely try out RWS pellets I just ordered a tin of Meisterkugeln pellets. My grandfather had a Diana model 45 and a Gamo Hunter 440 that we used to plink cans with so I have always had a connection to these two breakbarrels.
