What pellets for a .22 Zoraki hp01 ultra???

[bluemoon_wulf]

So, i am on the preorder list. Wanting to get my pellets ready for when it gets here. i already did the search here on agn. h&n green is all i have read.

Anyone have the 22 version and can recommend other pellets for me to stock up on?

thanks for any input

I tested a few different pellets out in the gun a while back. Although some of my pellets are fairly old so you may want to try a tin before you buy in bulk.

OOPS that was the .177 I don't remember what I tested the .22 out with but I will check.

I don't have any Meisterkugelns or JSB 14.3s left but here are a few that I tested. The JSB 13.4 and RWS Super Hollow Point did the best out of what I had. All are five shot groups at ten meters with open sights and old eyes. The best I could do. Going to check the barrel to see if it needs cleaned cuz none of these look that great.

Sorry but not the Ultra! I missed that but did find a couple tiny burs on the crown of my gun. Sanded with 400 grit and then used a tiny piece of Scotchbright to polish it up. JSB 13.4 five shot and ten shot groups at ten meters with two pumps below. Groups are .2 and .45 CTC without the fliers that were me for sure. Arms are done for the day I will do more pellet testing at a later date.

I have an Ultra Just got it out, it is new, I will let you know what it shoots when I find out.

Stocking up on pellets before you have your gun is risky as it may not shoot the same as mine. Pellets change day to day each time you open a tin it can be a surprise as they may not be the same. I would suggest buying a tin or two then if they werq well in your gun find out from the seller if they have more from that lot .

Thanks for the advice Biohazardman.

Supposedly still a month before delivery. So still time to figure which pellets to gamble on

 

[biohazardman]

By then I will have a pretty good idea what you should gamble on or a couple of ideas anyway. Put the scope on and shot a .325 group with the JSB Match 13.73 wadcutter. I shoot allot better when I can see what I am shooting at.



Cost me a pinched and bloodied finger so I stopped there for now. Shot many hundreds of pellets through these and never got pinched before. Poor poor me. ;^)

 

[bluemoon_wulf]

sorry about your finger. hope that is not something i will have to get used to. havent used this kind of cranking before. just the 1322 kind

 

[bluemoon_wulf]

btw that carbon fiber doesnt seem factory. is it a slip on moderator? a shroud?

 

[biohazardman]

I have fired many hundreds of rounds through these things and never a pinch yet but it can happen I find. Drew blood but doesn't hurt much any more.

I added the slip on shroud to my .177 ultra gun as it is not too difficult to do so on the longer barrelled Ultra based guns and I just got done doing one on the 600 so I had it figured out. Probly do one for the .22 as well cuz it's noisy in the basement and I just got more Delrin rod.

I really like the JSB 13.43 grain pellets in the .22 Zoraki. I have a .177 and my brother is using the .22 on squirrels. They are very accurate out of the Zoraki. A few years ago I bought a couple of barrels from a UK source that’s no longer available, they were a little pricey at $120, but they were excellent and easy to change out. The extra length makes a bit more power and definitely helps with accuracy. Hopefully somebody will offer them again. With the Weihrauch silencer the gun is so very quiet, one pump basically makes no noise and the pellet impact is what you hear.
