After tuning (also added a new E3650 spring) it, my 890 has been doing well with Crosman heavy domes but I wanted to try out more heavies. I ordered a sampler pack of .177 heavies from Craig. It's nice and sunny out right now, with very little wind so I did a test. Here's a 20 yard test of all of the different types of pellets I got from Craig. These are 1/2" bulls eyes 5 shots each:

Here they are at 35 yards:
very nice J, what's your opinion of each pellet.
no contest at 35...

I was most curious about the arrows and terminators. The 35 yard performance for the arrows don't surprise me, but the terminators do. I'm also pleasantly surprised that this rifle doesn't seem to be very pellet picky with heavies at around 20 yards, which is the distance I do most of my shooting. I've always had luck with JSB Domes, but have never tried the heavies until today. Those work great too. Thanks again!
