Your air rifle may be designed to work best with round pellets due to its specific barrel design, which can affect the stability and accuracy of different pellet shapes. Pointed pellets may not fit properly in the chamber or might not engage with the rifling effectively, leading to inconsistent firing or jams. Additionally, the power of your air rifle may not be sufficient to properly propel pointed pellets, which are often heavier and require more force to achieve optimal performance. Always check the manufacturer's recommendations for compatible ammunition.
The most common target air rifle pellets are made of lead, although other materials such as tin, steel alloys or even plastic are used for pellets.

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.
