When shooting the Gamo Hunter Extreme, I recommend using Gamo Raptor PBA (Performance Ballistic Alloy) Pellets.

What is the Gamo Raptor?

The Gamo Raptor is a non-lead pellet. They are available in .177, .22 and .25 and weigh from 5.4 (.177 Cal.) to 14.4 Grains (.25 Cal.), so whatever they are made of is lighter than lead. The Performance Ballistic Alloy, as Gamo calls it, is plated with 18-carat gold for barrel lubrication, and Gamo claims the new pellet has "match-grade" accuracy. The Raptor is sold strictly for hunting. Gamo even warns not to use them with an airgun pellet trap, undoubtedly thinking of the ricochet problem.
