What make and model of lead free,air rifle pellets,would be best for hunting small game?

Like rabbit and crow??? Why would these lead free air rifle pellets work better than the rest???What make and model of lead free,air rifle pellets,would be best for hunting small game?
%26gt;%26gt;Best lead-free pellet for small game hunting?%26lt;%26lt;





I don't know of one that I would use.





Ultra light weight lead free pellets are mainly a gimmick. These pellets are used %26gt;by kids mainly%26lt; in moderately powerful air rifles because they like to hear the ';crack'; as the pellet breaks the sound barrier.





Most well known - lead-free pellets


Gamo PBA - Raptor($49.95 per 500)


Crosman - Silver Eagle($14.54 per 500)


Daisy - Max Speed(tin alloy)($14.98 per 500)***





***if you would like to try some of these, send me an e-mail...





When you can buy very good quality lead hunting pellets, such as the RWS Superdome for $8.55(500) - I can't see paying a premium or in the case of the Gamo PBA Raptor an absurd price for pellets that are basically useless for hunting %26gt;Or any type of precision shooting for that matter%26lt;





In ';general'; these pellets are very inaccurate in the vast majority of air rifles. %26gt;Pellets as they approach %26amp; or break the sound barrier tend to become unstable and inaccurate. ';generally'; speaking, the lighter the pellet, the greater the problem%26lt;

Later:





IMO, ';one'; of the advantages to shooting an airgun is the ability to shoot high quality pellets for less than 1/2 the cost of inexpensive .22 LR rounds





I priced some Promethius pellets - $70 per 500 - geeezus,





The ';low'; cost Promethius - Dynamic SN 1 pellets - run $24.15 per 500 - Or about the cost of 4 tins of (500) RWS Superdome pellets from Pyramyd Air...I don't get it, but I guess if you have money to throw away, go for it....What make and model of lead free,air rifle pellets,would be best for hunting small game?
id have to say the dynamic brand by promithius! airguns of arizona carries them and theres some vidios floating around in the airgun forums of a guy that shoots squirrels at +70yrds with them! they are expencive, but he uses them in condor range in central calif.
I would also go with lead ones. just make sure it is legal in your state to hunt with an air rifle. I know it isn't in Pennsylvania
none their all to light, depending on the kind of pellet gun you got, try and go for one of the heviest
the lead free pellets are too light and might not work as well on small game.
