Which pellets are best for most accurate shooting in Cannon 65 ?

Basu

Basu in my pellet comparison tests, top marks went to AIMCO round head (750 mg) for being accurate with Orion, IHP 35 and SDB 50. Marshal shot flathead (700 mg) came second. Gsmith was third. MS wadcutter 4th overall. Unfortunately, Mastershot Export quality Round head was an epic fail.

I think these tests must be repeated by somneone else using other rifles too. One set of tests can never be good for gyan...

This is an old Canon made sometime in the mid- or late 70s at the company's factory at Behala in Kolkata. The rifle is a copy of the BSA Model 2 under lever (I have one in my collection) with certain changes in the trigger mechanism, feeding port and the cylinder end cap. The muzzle break, though completely unnecessary, was an attempt at innovation (or maybe to escape copyright related issues, not very sure). The canons made in the 70s were extremely tough and reliable. In fact Canon used to make a couple of competition grade air rifles and a side lever cocking air pistol till the end 80s that were far far superior to any air weapon made in India till date. Sadly, these models are not available any more due to rising production cost. I could go on writing about the AR manufacturing companies in Kolkata but I guess this should suffice for this thread.

For my Cannon 65 .22, i find MS wad cutter the best followed by G Smith high impact.
My friends canon also loves these pellets in the same order.
