What are you all shooting and what pellets are you using?

I have a Ruger Blackhawk Elite .177 cal. It's a pretty decent rifle with decent accuracy. My only complaint is that the trigger is a little bit mushy. I've learned that the pellet selection can greatly affect the accuracy. Currently using Gamo Red Fire 7.8gr penetrators. These are the most accurate pellets that I have found so far. 2nd most accurate pellets are the Crosman Destroyers.

 
get a tune kit and you will get the most out of that rifle. It is a copy of a Diana 34, which is a classic. I think there are some out there who make replacement triggers.

You can also get pellet kits with a dozen different pellets to try out. I like RWS pellets.

You can also wax the pellets which helps keep the barrel clean and helps with accuracy.
