preferrred pellet weight for your disco ?
« on: March 18, 2010, 04:04:59 AM »
curious here guys,...my mac-1 modded disco thrives on the jsb heavy 15.9s...................i just bought a bone stock disco in .177 for my son ryan.
what pellet weight/style would you recommend. ? this will be his primary squirrel shooter, i was thinking predators or a 10.2 grain .177. if im wrong in my thinking, let me know !!

or better yet, anybody have a handful of samples i can try ?

 your input is greatly appreciated !!!

ray, ed,...thanks for the input! ive got a buttload of 7.9g cphp's, but ive found and read that the pcp guns like a heavier pellet; its definitely the case with my disco.
ryans disco is a .177, so id like to stock up on heavy pellets just for the disco..............

and ed,...ryan's philosphy is..........he shoots a .177 as it takes more skill,...lol...using a .22 throws a bigger slug downrange so the likelihood of hitting a difficult target is increased by 50%................

My Stock .22 Disco Loves the Jsb 15.8 grain.....I'm talkin same hole 5 shot groups @ 20  yards.
It likes the 14.3 jsb,CP 14.3,benji hollows too... But it loves the 15.8 jsbs!...oh yeah It loves the 21 grain barracudas too, and the 16 grain predators.

So it likes alot of pellets....I sighted in with the 15.8, and all the rest have followed

I use JSB Express shot at an actual 1000fps, head shots on Squirrel out to 70 yards and Field Target accuracy all day long.
