Wad Cutter for Marauder suggestions

[DeadEyeNC]

Any suggestions for the most accurate wad cutter pellet for a .177 Marauder? I use JSB Monsters for Field Target, but practice off hand 10m indoors and would like a nice crisp hole. I know every barrel can be different but wanted a general idea of which ones to try first. My M-Rod has a LW barrel. Thanks!

those aren't wad cutters but they cut the paper well

I've had good luck with RWS supermag wadcutters.

My understanding is they're made for CC by H&N. Same as H&N match rifle. As you can see they come in two head sizes-- I've shot about 20,000 of the 4.5mm and they are very accurate wadcutters.

IMO: Wadcutters shoot most accurately at lower velocities. Tack driving accuracy at <600 fps becomes "spirally" at >900 fps.

YMMV

Thanks! 
Hopefully I can find a wadcutter that will preform without having to adjust my velocity. I currently have my M-rod tuned to around 810 max fps for those heavy JSB monsters for Field Target, and I'm not interested in tuning up and down velocities on a weekly basis. Most of my FT is on weekends, while shooting 10m offhand during the week for short practice sessions.

If your Marauder likes JSBs, there are quite a few JSB wadcutters to choose from-maybe try the heaviest to keep them from going supersonic.

I think you will need to try to shoot a variety of different brands and weights of wadcutters to see which your Marauder likes to shoot best. Back to square one but luckily since you have a LW barrel it may possibly be pellet friendly unlike the factory barrel. If yours can shoot the cheap Beeman China made coated wadcutters they are the cheapest plinking pellets less than a penny a pop I have found and appear to copy the originals made by H&N. I have some guns that shoot the Beeman China Hollowpoints H&N silver bears copies very well also less than a penny a pop and actually better than the wadcutters. Then comes the Gamo Match less than a penny a pop then RWS Basics penny a pop if you are price conscious. If I had to guess, the RWS super mag just under 2 penny popper in your Mrod since its tuned for power.
