With these pellets going sonic are they accurate,it's been said that if a pellet goes sonic it is not that accurate, would this apply to this pellet

These pellets are accurate. However, they are loud. I use the red tip pellets to shoot squirrels in my neighborhood because they are quiet (relatively speaking).

That depends on the type (weight) of the pellet you use. It drops off depending upon the shape of the pellet and distance from the muzzle.

I would think only slightly through pellet selection. Pellet weight and design will affect velocity but only slightly.Once fully charged velocity will diminish slightly after repeated shots are fired.

It is a little loud, but I wouldn't consider it a concern. If you use alloy pellets, they could break the speed of sound and create sonic boom. Use the heavier pellets and it isn't that bad.

There are really no lead-free pellets that have impressed me yet. They're all inferior in both economics and accuracy. Is your concern for lead because of a local or state law or an issue with the possibility of lead consumption? If it's because of lead consumption, the velocities at which pellets impact is low enough that lead does not fragment. If you're dead-set on lead free, buy a box/tube of each and try them. Pick the most accurate. I've heard mixed reviews about them all, and I would think barrel fit is more important than it is in lead.

It really depends on your gun, it's power settings, and what you want it to do. As a long range(65m -100m) high power small game round they perform well. Keep in mind, they need to travel 1040-1120 (just under subsonic) 40-45lbs or 1250-1400fps to be sub 2moa accurate ... And there is no fragmentation ... Meaning they are meant to pass through thick muscle retaining max energy. In short they fit a very specific need and they are always in my ammo bag... But unless my guns are presighted and the power plant is setup for the pellet (adjustable piston or pcp) I don't shoot them. If they are worth $0.08 each is up to the shooter.

It would not hurt your gun but you should probably stick with pellets for better performance.

Yes If you shoot at something solid such as metal or flat rock but not as bad as bad as an all metal pellet, however if the metal is thin enough it will stick in the metal and according to the FBS penetrate the surface.

You're pretty much good with any bb (metal) that's available. However, this is made manly for pellets so I would suggest that if your looking for power AND accuracy. BB ammo lacks accuracy.

No, it's not man. There is a model for pellets though. These are nice guns. If you buy / or have bought one, do the following:I agree with Robert ..........get yo'self a bunch of extra "bullets" (that hold the BBs), and for sure for sure, some speed loaders!! Dump out 6 emptys & in one motion load 6 full ones.....Bam!Happy air-shootin' ---be safe.

Hi David, I have tried all kinds (7 different types) of pellets from pointed tip, round, flat, all types with no consistency. All these pellets ranged from 7.8 grains to 14 grains. I cannot find a pellet that shoots well past 15 yards. Anything past 15 yards is unpredictable with groups no better than 12 inches. I gave up trying. Ive been shooting guns for over 30 years and this was just frustrating to say the least. Ive even tried 3 different scopes on the gun and still no luck. So Im pretty sure it wasnt me. Id look into buying another gun. Maybe this gun I received was just defective or something. Good luck.

the lighter the pellets (aluminum or other material) the louder it will be. I purchased lead ones and they were less loud than the lighter ones

I think it's just the sound you get.when a pellet travels over 1000 fps. I've used different pellets and they all were about the same.

They can but you should buy test pack of different pellets to see what brand might have better accuracy in your weapon

I have purchased many repeat pellet pistols usually with a circular cartridge like a revolver, and none of them were very accurate. I've had about a dozen over the last few years of various types and the most accurate are the single shot. The single most accurate is the Crossman 2300S which has a great set of iron sights but also will take a red dot sight or a small scope or holographic sight.

I've been just using pellets. Most accurate i've used is the red fire, then the rocket 3rd was the tomahawk.

No, you will damage the cartridge that holds the BB. The barrel on this is a smooth bore/diameter for BBs so their would be no benefit as pellets would not perform well and have unpredictable behavior make it a dangers practice.
