PBA Alloy in a Nitro rifle??
« on: June 25, 2012, 04:05:43 PM »
I bought a Benjamin Titan Gp (22 caliber) and was wondering if the Alloy pellets (PBA ?) are safe to shoot in it. What seems to be the best weight lead pellets in your Benjamin Titan Gp's? Thanks for any info.

I've never tried the PBA in my nitro rifle, but the crossman premier hollow points shoot excellent.  My experience with PBA pellets in my other pellet rifle is that they are not accurate.  The crosman premiers are accurate and very effective on pests.  I just recieved 3 tins of crosman destroyer pellets I want to try in my NP.

I have a tin of the Crosman Premier Hollow Points and they shoot fairly well. Have you shot any of the 22 cal. Predator Poly Mag pellets? They look like they would be pretty devastating.

22 cal. guns should be shooting pellets with weights between 14+ 15 grs.. Lighter & heavier weights can put undue stress on the system. Gas Pistons are more flexable than Springers with these pellet weights. PBA's are noted to be a gimmick and not accurate. The GP's are detuned for accuracy & recoil etc. ( less FPS as opposed to the regular Titan) . The 1st. secret for accuracy is to find the pellet that your gun likes. 600- 800 fps. is plenty for squirrels & rabbits. Domed pellets are usually the basic all around start for Hunting & Target. Try the Crosman's,RWS, & Beeman's first. You will need any where from 100 to 1000 shot break in period before you can tell what pellet the gun likes. When I got my RWS 34, the first thing I did was to clean the barrel of the factory gunk. Then I ran some patches thru, 10 times or so, with some non embedding bore paste. Then cleaned that out and patched in a very very small amount of bore oil and started the shooting break in .Clean, maybe every 1000  rounds. Do not use a wire brush. Hope this helps.
