Air Arms field 5.50??

[Bluelungbutter]

I've just purchased a tin of Air Arms Field in .22.

When looking on the bottom of the tin it has the little sticker but instead of 5.51 or 5.52 it says 5.50. Is this correct as i've never heard of that size? If it is correct would they be ok for my TX. I usually use 5.51's

Cheers

never mind m8 i purchased a couple of tins of pellets today and peeled the labels off to find another underneath advertising them for £1.20 less i guess i can say MAYS OF LONDON wont be getting anymore business from me

usually the sticker on the bottom of the tin denotes the size. Well it has on all the other tins i've used. It was actually cheaper than £5.50 so bonus. The only thing is i'm now a bit dubious about using them as they were cheaper and the sticker seems to be wrong.

5,50 IS ,22 They sell 5,51/2 to give you a choice ENGLISH air guns of the 60s/ 70s are 5,6 =,22

Nothing to worry about mate, 5.50 is a genuine size with this ammo. I have a Webley Eclipse and Airarms 5.50 is what it runs best on.

Cool that puts my mind at rest. The £2.59 price tag will hopefully be worth it then!!

Neither had i. That's why i was concerned about using them. Surely if there is a difference between 5.51 and 5.52 then there will be a difference between 5.51 and 5.50. Might try one in this afternoon to compare.

possibly labelled incorrectly , 5.50 sticker usually found on the bottom of AA hunters.

Ah ok. They seem to be ok in the gun anyway. Not done any serous plinking yet but don't see them being any different to my usual size.

off the top of my head the price for aa .22 pellets are £5.95 in mays.

The difference is less than .001" 5.50mm = .22 cal. or .220"

I Think ?
