I remember the old sabbo Sussex things in the 80s ...couldn't hit a barn door with them but they would go straight through a 2 pence piece at point blank...impressive when you are kid lol

My hw80 loved them and was spit accurate with them, I killed a lot of bunnies and squirrels with them, if memory serves, they were a proper .172 copper jacketed bullet, I still have one or two of the plastic petal cases you loaded them into, and I am sure my mate still has the loading pen thingy, shame they banned them

I didn't know they were banned, but I remember that they carried energy a lot further than standard waisted pellets. A lot further..

Pretty sure they did, could be wrong but I am sure I read they did, yes the ballistic co-efficient must have been many many times better than an Eley wasp or whatever, owing to them being a real jacketed fmj rifle bullet, I would buy some just for nostalgia alone if they were still available
