From what I have read pointed projectiles shot under the speed of sound do not stabilize. That is the reason for the Diablo style pellets .I’ve tested quite a few did pellets in my Air Venturi now and nothing has shot bad. Even the worst groups are far better than the best groups my Gamo break barrel will do.
That being said...
I was in Walmart and saw the Ruger Superpoint pellets. They were only $7.50 per 200 and looked decent so figured I’d try a tin. Holy cow what a mistake that was!!! I couldn’t even keep them on the paper. I’d miss the whole target board to the right, then I’d hit towards the middle, then two would string off to the left at 4” then 6”, then off the target to the left altogether. Shot my Baracuda Match pellets just to make sure something wasn’t wrong and posted a 0.3” 3 shot group at 53 yards. So I shot another Ruger Superpoint and missed the target board completely to the right.
The first sign that these might not be good quality was when they would load in my single shot tray. Had to raise the tray up to get them better centered on the chamber. Never had that issue with any other pellet.
I’ve had some groups I wasn’t thrilled with so far using good quality name brand pellets from JSB and H&N but Good Lord these Ruger Superpoints are junk! They are goin straight in the trash!!!
