What is a .177 pellet?
A .177 pellet is a small lead projectile measuring 4.5mm (0.177 inch) in diameter, shaped in the classic Diabolo (hourglass) form. The narrow waist and flared skirt let the pellet seat tightly in the barrel — when fired, the skirt expands to seal the bore and grip the rifling, delivering accuracy out to 10 metres and beyond.
In India, .177 is the default calibre for all legal no-licence sport airguns — including every Camstar pistol and most Camstar rifles.

Which .177 pellet weight should I buy?
The right weight depends on your gun:
- 0.45g – 0.50g — Spring pistols (Star Leo, Mauser X). Light pellets get higher velocity from a spring.
- 0.50g – 0.56g — CO₂ pistols and PCP pistols (Star RX Gen 3, Star PXi). Match Diabolo at 0.524g is ideal.
- 0.55g – 0.70g — PCP rifles for outdoor use. Heavier pellets resist wind drift over distance.
For ISSF 10m competition, 0.50g – 0.56g flat-head is the gold standard.
