Hard to say. I've been a big fan of Eley Wasps as they perform very well in my HW80s barrel, but recently I bought a batch that was utterly terrible in quality. I understand the company that makes them has been sold into new ownership and there have been some definate quality issues and problems.

That's what I was worried about iv always used them in my old British rifles but the quality has dropped off an so hav my groups I just thought is ask because they are alot more than the usual wasps atb ade

This is a real problem Ade. They always were a brilliant pellet for spring piston rifles and I loved em. I had a Webley Excel .22 that shot superbly with them and my higher powered FAC HW80s shot them extremely long ranges very accurately. Now they are just so poor I would never allow them near my rifle barrels. H&N Field And Target Trophy are the real pellet of choice for my Weihrauch springers but for your older British rifles (I assume you have a Webley or a BSA or two?) there will be one or two pellet brands that will be very good indeed. But the good old Wasp was a reliable friend.

 

Hope you find a happy alternative.

Hi

 

Since the change over the quality is very poor, you might aswell be using bulldogs pellets.

Ya used to use them in my beeman c1 carbine an they were top notch but I sold the beeman an now iv got a mk2 airsporter an a mk4 meteor thought it was the guns at first but when you look at the pellets now they are all shapes and sizes shame really when they had a good name for them self's

If these quality issues are still ongoing, then it's goodbye to the good old Wasp. I picked a batch that was just mis-shapen balls and skirted lumps of lead. Horrible rubbish. Not in my barrels.. No way

Try RWS Super Fields lads, they worked brilliant in my HW,s.

 

Also in my BSA.

 

So do FX pellets.
