Has anyone out there found any value for money pellet/s last year that not only save money BUT also offer decent performance?
My two are the No3 Bisley Wasp (in my Webleys) and the Norma S - Target Match (in most). Both great out to 25 yds. Very surprised and happy with them.
My New Years resolution is to reduce my pellet expenditure by as much as 33% without having an impact on how much I shoot or accuracy +/- a tiddly bit.
So my question is, is anyone else out there looking for more Bang for their buck in 2025?

I've noticed a lot of members loving H&N Barracuda 8's. Going for about £6.50 a tin a Pellpax, and now with 10% off for AGF members. Might be worth a look for you.

I've seen them mentioned a lot, don't know why but haven't tried them, will do now though.
 
Bang for your buck?
Good Pellets?
No such thing! Cheap ones or expensive, they are all bloody useless. Totally inaccurate even when you are certain you are on target, gently squeeze the trigger the damn things miss left, right, up and down often leaving without a clue where they went even using the proverbial barn door as a stop.
 
Just thought, I don't think I bought Barracuda 8s as aren't they .177 only. I'm a .22 sort of fella,
 
I can recommend these,

£10.95 a tin off the Wolfman, they are great in both my .177 rifles and various pistols I've tried them in.
 
Baracuda 8 for me too easy 10mm and under groups at 50 yards in my regal and I’ve not found a rifle they don’t shoot at least decent in at 30 yards.

Get a 17 - pellet money saved. 😆. Yeah, sorry, think they are just for 17.

Sorry, that's one change too much for me. What I'd save in the purchase price I would lose on the ground never to be seen again as they slip through my sausage fingers.🖐️
 
Norma's for me not that any are cheap ..... Not tried the 8's though
