I hope that someone will buy the tooling and continue making Marksmen pellets.
I think it would be a tragedy if the equipment ended up in a scrapyard.

Yes! that would be a nice conclusion i must say. Time will tell.

The little box of .177 look fairly old and pellets are clean still

I've just been plinking with the NO.2 .22 Marksman in my Webley VMX Classic .22 at 45 feet. I plinked using iron sights. The Marksman did well!

I can't believe one of the big boys hasn't Started making 5.6 in a modern mold.

The closest we got is the H&N FTTs in 5.55mm . other stuff does work well enough but it is strange i agree they are not more widespread than they are given the % of 5.6mm classics still doing the rounds.
