Lots of cool advances in air guns. I use a Gamo nowadays, probably had it for some 11 or 12 years. Accurate as heck, shoots pellets at over 1200 fps, but is as loud as my 22 LR.

Can a high quality pellet in a cheap gun improve accuracy enough to notice much of a difference ? I'm still shooting pellets from the 80s .

That's a good question, Davey. I remember finding a LOT of deformed pellets in the standard offerings back in the 80s. The more modern stuff I bought when I picked up this air rifle over 10 years ago, is still shooting vermin off the original couple packs of pellets I bought back then. Accuracy and lethality is pretty good to 35-40 yds.

I looked and the ammo I am using is labeled as Gamo's target and competition grade. It's in the 0.177 caliber. Let's just say the vermin don't care that it's not the hunting grade ammo.
