Air Rifle pellets come in 4 basic types. Flat nose(Wadd-cutters) for targets. Pointed for distance. Hollow point for hunting and Round point pellets are a universal pellet. They also come in different weights. Light weighted pellets will fly faster but have a tendency to drift off target over a long distance. Heaver pellets fly slower but straighter as a general rule. Obviously a heavy pellet has more knockdown power than a light pellet.
You need to try different pellets in your rifle. It has been found that some pellets respond better and differently in different air rifles. So you need to try a variety to find out which one is best for your rifle.

What are the best pellets to use with wiehrauch air rifles?
Every Air rifle should be tested with different pellets. It takes about 200 pellets to be fired through an air rifle before the rifle settles down. I would try H&N brand and a variety of other pellets. I also select heaver weighted pellets over lighter ones. A heavy pellet travels straighter but slower than a lighter one. lighter pellets may be faster but have a tendency to drift off target. Look for "Match grade" pellets. They may cost more but usually are of a higher quality. If you are hunting with the rifle then use 'Hunting" or "Hollow Point" pellets.
