Precihole NX-100 Nitro Piston Rifle

[Basu]

Every gun has its own limitations too.
NX 100 being a 11+fpe gun , does not stand as exception to above.
30 mts is quite a distance for NX to enjoy shooting.
50 mts is a tall ask for this category of ARs.
I have fired NX club elite and it is too much of a joy to shoot till 20 mts.
It better to have magnum powered or PCPs for long distance job .

I have found Precipel 0.22 roundhead pellets quite accurate and well fitting for Precihole NX-100 Scorpius (of course it will be). Mastershot (Dome-double head premier, Pointed premier, Wadcutter) fits loose in it, whereas skirt of Gsmith Highspeed is very tight.
Can anyone suggest any other Indian made pellet that is accurate for Scorpius.
Can use of loose fitting pellets cause damage to piston seal or other parts ?

Thanking you, Saikat

I have previously done an exhaustive comparison in the following threads, but I have an Orion, not a Scorpius

The best pellets for Orion are:
1. Precipell - these are probably the best overall in terms of weight and accuracy and power retention at a distance
2. Diana shot flat head
3. Aimco round head: Very accurate - also the lightest pellets
4. GSmith Round head: Accurate but heavy for Orion
5. Marshal shot flat head (not available in every outlet)
6. Mastershot wadcutter - (OK - not great)

Mastershot round heads performed miserably.

Bennedose sir, Thanks a lot for information on pellets for Precihole 0.22.

I forgot to mention - loose fitting pellets should not really cause any extra damage. Typically the air pressure behind the pellet will expand the skirt and make it a snug fit. If the pellet is so loose (eg 0.177 pellet in a 0.22 rifle) then you will hear a loud report like in dry firing with no pellet. That will do some damage.
