    I've only ever tried a couple ..... The .177 shorts were good in my old HW100 to around 45yrds. They opened right up at 50+yrds. So far, I've also had good results with them in the GSX100 to 35yrds, then I ran out of them. I've tried the .22 regulars in my TX - it didn't like them at all. These are too long to cycle in the Super 10 mag. From my fairly minimal experience, the shorts are looking best so far but, I wouldn't take that as red mate. It's a shame they don't do sample packs of them. I might give those Metalmags a go - they look like they might penetrate like the

    I once went home with a bird that could have done with washing and weighing ..... Never bother with pellets though. Life's to short. wish i could say once everyone needs to pull a few ten to two'ers before they call it a day i call it non discriminating!! think ill put some pollys on me next order... has that voymir put his prices up?! some seem steep but he's got way more choice than the shops round here! It looks like it mate. Countryways are less than £8 for .177 but they're out of stock at the moment.

    I kind of ruled those out because of their weight. I'm a .177 man really so, when I use .22, I need all the help I can get - hence the lighter pellets and/or shorter ranges

    It's supposed to be snowing here again tomorrow Trouble is, none of it settling - it's just little whispy bits in the air all the time - the sort that keeps hitting you in the eyeballs - I keep walking round like a twitching div ...... I'll do some tests in the warehouse before work tomorrow. It's a pisser that those hornets won't work for you - I imagine they'd bring down an actual armour plated pigeon Have you tried Polymags?

    Nice This one's the same - it had a sevice at BSA just before I bought it and, they confirmed it's totally factory standard. I did think about letting John Bowkett have a look at it but, I don't want to feel any different to how it feels right now. If it aint broke My thoughts exactly

    That's the ones I was surprised by the marks inside the skirt and on the back of the head - they look like they've been flared after moulding.

    Cheers Si I think I'll only send it off now if it needs work. I'll update this thread again when I've done a bit more testing with it - Hopefully tomorrow I know what you mean about head sizes - I'm not one for weighing and sorting but, I can feel a real difference in some when loading one of the springers It's a shame you're having problems with softer lead on the birds - this was a .22 FAP from my TX ...... they work well on squirrels heads as well

    The FTT Greens have been a real surprise - I'm usually a staunch advocate of the soft lead diablo but, today, these were getting to the target so fast and hitting hard, I reckon they might make a good ratting pellet I want to put the FTTs and the FTT Greens over a chrono and, test them at longer ranges but, so far so good. To be honest, I'm not holding out much hope for the FTT Green past 40 yards - I reckon it's power retention will be shit. This is one that I dug out of the stack of brochures today ......

    This morning, before work, I gave the H&Ns another go at 30 yards this time. I rezeroed for the FTTs. I taped a pistol target to a stack of brochures and put through another 10 shot group of each. The FTTs began to creep up and right but, I reckon after a barrel clean and leading back in, these could well be the ones They deformed well after hitting the plate behind the target at Black Cat. I don't imagine anything getting away from a hit from these

    I set some targets out at 35 yards and tried the JSB variants first - nothing too scientific, a mag of each without rezeroing. I was looking at how the pellets cycled and what the groupings were like. I tried - JSB RS JSB Exact FX FAP They all felt slightly stiff but, for some reason, the the JSB RS and FAPs were now f***ing awful - some of them gave a lot of resistance when cycled, then popped into the back of the barrel. When I fired those pellets, I could see them spiral wildly into the target - some missing the 8" paper target altogether Next up was a selection of ze German

    I've had this Mk2 Super 10 for a little while now and, it's proving to be exactly what I was after ..... It's compact, not too light, not too slick but not agricultural either, accurate, good shot count, looks good, gives a satisfying hit being .22 and, because of the short barrel, feels like it really spits the pellets out. It's good, honest retro shooting that puts a smile on my face. When I bought it, I was advised that the previous owner had always ran it with JSBs so, I did a few pellet tests and settled on JSB RS - at 13.43gn they were a nice fast .22 pellet and they were accur

    It would seem that's the plan. Staying over in Kenilworth. Sake. Wow I just Googled out-calls in Kenilworth - they average £99 Have fun mate

    Nice introduction and first post ! Fair comment Rob Now, lets see, what could I suggest? I reckon if he could wedge a 17 hmr round half way down the barrel of a .177 SMK B2 (might need a bit of filing), then fire a JSB Heavy up the spout behind it - it might qualify as a powerful spring piston rifle ....... C'mon chaps, give the lad some ideas

    I just saw this on the news - they said that some of the ones that had been rescued had turned around and came straight back. Not good
