What is a domed pellet and when do I use it?

A domed (round-nosed) pellet has a rounded head and is the most aerodynamic common shape.

Domed pellets are the all-around best choice for almost any airgun and almost any task beyond paper-punching: hunting, long-range target, plinking, pest control. They retain velocity and energy at distance, group well, and are less wind-sensitive than other shapes. JSB Exact, H&N Field Target Trophy, and RWS Superdome are popular examples. If in doubt, start with a domed pellet.
