Those 1970's Sheridans are great guns!I have an old Sheridan Blue Streak in 5MM from the 1970's. Also a full auto BB gun, CO2 powered.
Same here. Good for pest control and hunting small game like rabbits. Accurate and powerful. I had reservations about the mechanical complexity of the action sliding on rails, but it's held up well over the years.RWS 54 in .22. Heavy SOB but built like a tank.
Most airguns are sensitive to the shape & mass of pellets used. Pellets that work great in one, don't in another. I've bought pellet packs which have at least 10 different sizes & shapes of pellets of the same caliber, try them all out and see what works in your particular gun. Then buy those pellet(s) in bulk with confidence.I bought a Ruger Impact ... Pretty accurate, but I have noticed pellets vary a lot. If you want accuracy buy match grade stuff. Cheaper ones seem to have a lot of variance to them. ...
Pretty sure this thing does not go supersonic, it's one of those break barrel units and wasn't very expensive. But I have heard pellets work in some, and not others, so bought 4 different ones when I ordered the rifle. None were terrible but you'd get an occasional flyer with the cheaper stuff. Good enough for what I use it for.Most airguns are sensitive to the shape & mass of pellets used. Pellets that work great in one, don't in another.

Another factor is that most air rifles do best when the pellets are subsonic. Powerful rifles need heavy pellets to keep velocities down. Pellets that go supersonic (or even transsonic), tend to lose accuracy because it drastically changes airflow around the pellet. It's best to keep muzzle velocities below mach 0.8, or about 880 fps under sea level standard conditions.
