As the most popular caliber for air rifles, .177 is a functional, reliable, and versatile round that is used all over for a variety of tasks. While you can often use the same .177 Air Rifle Pellets for anything you're shooting, there are plenty of rounds that specialize in specific circumstances. With our wide selection of H&N Sport .177 Air Rifle Pellets, Gamo .177 Air Rifle Pellets, Daisy .177 Air Rifle Pellets and more, you can find .177 pellets that are designed specifically for shooting competitions, hunting, and simple plinking. Aside from different styles of .177 pellets, they also have various dimensions and shapes that are meant to match different barrels and bores specifically. The benefit to using .177 Air Rifle Pellets that precisely match your weapon is that the pellets make a tighter seal, allowing the projectile to fly faster and with more energy when you fire. This is especially useful if you're using your air rifle for small game hunting, as a more forceful impact is more likely to take down your target cleanly without you having to track it. No matter how you plan to use your .177 air rifle, we have tons of air rifle accessories and .177 Air Rifle Pellets in stock for you to check out!
What Is the Effective Range of a .177 Pellet?
While the exact range for your specific air rifle and pellet combination might vary, most have an effective range between 60 and 80 yards. This is an excellent distance for everything from target shooting to small game hunting, as you don't have to be very close to the target to hit it. With the right .177 Air Rifle Pellets and a powerful air rifle, you may be able to extend this range a bit, but it often isn't much because wind and gravity start affecting the pellet heavily after about 80 yards.
Are All .177 Pellets the Same?
No they are not. Some are specifically designed for hunting, while others have a pointed or rounded tip and are meant for target shooting. Additionally, the standard size of a .177 pellet is 4.50mm in diameter. However, you can also find the same caliber of pellets ranging from 4.48mm to 4.52mm, so there is plenty of variation in sizes.
What Is the Best Pellet Shape for Accuracy?
Most air rifle shooters agree that domed .177 Air Rifle Pellets provide the best and most consistent results in regard to accuracy. This is because the pellets do not travel very far or fast, so you don't need the pointed shape like high-power firearm rounds. Instead, the domed shape helps create a tight seal in the barrel and preserve as much energy as possible after you fire.
