Pointed Pellets

Pointed Pellets for Air Rifles and Air Pistols

Pointed pellets are airgun pellets with a streamlined pointed head designed to provide an efficient flight path. Their distinctive shape sets them apart from flat, domed and hollow point pellets. Pointed pellets have been used for many years by recreational and target shooters looking for a combination of speed, accuracy and penetration.

At SEM Jacht & Schietsport, you'll find a wide range of pointed pellets from leading brands including H&N Sport, RWS, Gamo, Crosman and other quality manufacturers. Available in a variety of calibres and pellet weights for both air rifles and air pistols.

What Are Pointed Pellets?

Pointed pellets are diabolo pellets featuring a sharply pointed head. Like other diabolo pellets, they have a narrow waist and a hollow skirt that help stabilise the pellet during flight. Their pointed profile gives them a distinctive appearance and makes them a popular choice among many airgun shooters.

Although the pellet shape influences aerodynamics, overall performance is also determined by factors such as pellet weight, calibre, muzzle velocity and barrel characteristics.

Why Choose Pointed Pellets?

Many shooters choose pointed pellets because of their streamlined design and versatile performance. The pointed nose creates a relatively small frontal surface, allowing the pellet to move efficiently through the air. This makes pointed pellets suitable for recreational shooting at a wide range of distances.

As with every pellet design, performance depends on the individual airgun. Some air rifles achieve excellent accuracy with pointed pellets, while others perform better with domed pellets.

Suitable for Different Types of Airguns

Pointed pellets are available for break barrel air rifles, underlever rifles, CO₂ airguns, PCP air rifles and a wide variety of air pistols. With numerous calibres and pellet weights available, there is a suitable option for almost every airgun.

For the best results, choose a pellet weight that matches the power of your airgun. Testing different brands and pellet weights is the most effective way to determine which pointed pellet delivers the tightest groups.

Available in Various Calibres

This category includes pointed pellets in popular calibres such as 4.5 mm (.177), 5.5 mm (.22), 6.35 mm (.25) and other commonly available sizes. Depending on the manufacturer, several pellet weights are available to match different airguns and shooting styles.

Always use the calibre recommended by the manufacturer of your air rifle or air pistol. This helps ensure reliable operation and the highest possible level of accuracy.

Which Pointed Pellet Is Right for Your Airgun?

There is no single pointed pellet that performs best in every airgun. Barrel quality, power output and pellet weight all influence accuracy. For this reason, experienced shooters often compare several brands before selecting their preferred ammunition.

Testing different pointed pellets is the easiest way to determine which one provides the smallest and most consistent shot groups in your own airgun.
