Wanted to know if its ok to use the Marshall shot pellets for the Orion .22? I read a few reviews and it says that they are low quality . Will they affect the rifle by any chance? I wanted to use it in the interim till I can go and buy better quality pellets. Does it matter if I change the pellets from different companies?
Also, does using low quality pellets impact accuracy and how?
Regards- karan

> To begin with there is no harm whatsoever in using Mastershot Pellets in Orion.
> Better still to use Mastershot Export quality pellets.
> I have been using these(over 1000 pellets) - These are the resonably well made Indian Pellets - however can't compare them with good quality imported ones which are very expensive.
> Changing different brands of pellets does not cause any harm - only you'll observe difference in performance such as accuracy / vibration etc.
> You,ll observe a 'marked difference' while using Indian Made Pellets Vs Imported Pellets.
> One simple guideline is to check the fitment of the pellet in the breech - "It Should be a SNUG fit".
> Too tight or too loose a fit will result in poor accuracy & excess vibration.
> Some of the Good Foreign made pellet brands are, RWS / H&N, JSB etc.
> Lastly while Round Heads is an All Round pellet meaning for regular shooting / plinking, Flat Heads are good for Target Shooting.
. Good Luck
