When I use to shoot Rabbits and vermin wth an air-rifle, I was a big fan of RWS Hobby and Bisley match Practice

The best advice I can give you is to try about 20 diff brands. You can get sample packs. Bench shoot them all under the same conditions. If poss use a speed tester to check consistancy (but if your grouping is good you will see whats best). I did this & the variation from best to worst was amazing. You can get more details from either the airgun forum or the pigeon shooting forum.

Best pellets to use in an Air Arms TX200, are Air Arms pellets.

Spot on advice, just because a certain brand is right for your mates rifle of same model dosn't mean it'd be right for yours!
