Can anyone that owns a Air Arms TX200 .22 cal, 495fps, please tell me which pellets they have found to be the best fit for this rifle?, and is there a break in period for this barrel, where it may take some time for it to be broken in. Thank you.

Welcome to the forum~

I found that in a non PAL decent rifle usually they just shoot everything well...

What do you have in hand or planning to buy to feed that nice rifle?!

Usually we will start with H&N FTT or JSB Exact/Exact Heavy... These are decent pellets~

Break in time is for the spring. Maybe there is some "seasoning" to be done with the barrel but I've never noticed. For diablos I like jsb's. H&N for everything else. Get yourself some quality pellets and do some testing.

What weight pellets are you using to get that 495fps. Looking at specs at pyramid air they show max of 755 , probably light weight pellets. I saw using more mid weight pellets, around 16-17 gr in the mid 600fps range.

495 should be the detuned Canadian version. Don't think there is a pellet can drop the full power TX into that ranger~ [emoji38]

I don't have that but in GENERAL, the following are working well in most of .22 cal

1. Crosman Premier Hallow Point 14.3gr (up to 30-50 yds, some gun working well up to 75 yards and good for hunting)
2. H&N Field Target Trophy 14.66gr (up to 75-100 yards)
3. JSB Diabolo Exact Jumbo 15.89gr (up to 75-100 yards)
4. JSB Hades 15.89gr (up to 50-75 yards, very good for hunting)
5. Crosman Premier Domed 14.3gr (up to 50-70 yards, some gun also working well up to 100 yards)

The JSB Jumbo 18.1gr is better than listed however it is too heavy for a 495fps. Crosman is the best budget pellet with good performance. My Sig MCX Virtus both Crosman and the hades performs better all other pellets at 30-40 yards, and most of my rifles shoots decent groups at 30-40 yards with Crosman HP --including a Gamo Viper Express Smooth Bore with 1x Red Dot
