Anyone tried them in .177?

Some bold claims of 38%better group sizes..

Can't seem to find them in the UK either,anyone know a dealer for them?
 
Puzzled. The greenies want to ban lead as it's not environmentally friendly in some form. They're also up in arms about the amount of plastic people use/leave lying about, but plastic in pellets/bullets is ok?
Wasn't much good at chemistry, but vaguely recall cu, water n possibly something create some form of acid?
In the meantime, be interested to see the results.🙂

What do you reckon mate, they have the plastic jacket so a more aggressive rifling and choke might work ok? I feel that might be better than a shallow cut rifling

Can you borrow a rifle ? I reckon a smoothbore would be ok & easier to clean afterwards 😂
 
I had some years ago. An ex HFT world champ had a go with my rifle at 40 yards, did not even hit the card the target was on. They were all different lengths as the copper part had a habit of partly coming out of the plastic, I had to go through them all and push the copper back in before firing. Possibly the worst pellet ever made. Low BC as well.

Apart from that they were OK.

Awesome, that'll make some good content then atleast 🤣
 
38% more accurate than what? If your gun clover leafs at 25 yards how can it be made 38% more accurate? False advertising.
 
Arn't the key words 'Please note that this pellet is not suitable for low power airguns / pistols or magazines that need short pellets.' So as the majority of air gunners use guns that fall into the lower powered class why are we even bothering to consider them?

I corrected their statement based on having experimented with some.

They are certainly not suitable for higher powered guns as they are so light and blunt and yes, they are quite long, even when you have pushed the metal part back into the plastic.
 
be interested to see some reviews on these here in uk as watched some of the american ones on youtube
 
I never tried them before but at Wolfman website they sale them for £10.95 … BUT there is a note at the bottom of the description saying :

‘’ Please note that this pellet is not suitable for low power airguns / pistols or magazines that need short pellets.‘’

I believe it’s for FAC air rifles only not for sub12 air rifles.
Correct me if I am wrong!
