I don't see the point of having both... stick with the bottle if you already have one, and spend the money on something else.

The ox is slow, but the earth is patient.
I have a Hills and drypac which I bought s/h off here. So far it is excellent and for my use (pumping an HW100 to 200 bar) for hunting where I generally fire off perhaps one or two mags in an evening it is ideal. Roughly one shot equals one stroke of the pump equals one bar.
As for reports of it being hard work, well I think this is piffle and I am no superhero. As said in previous posts just use straight arms and your body weight and get on with it. No wonder the nation is so obese !
If you were blatting away hundreds of pellets at a time on a range then you would find cylinder useful.
Hi there, my mate bought a pump to go along side his webly raider, and all he ever did was complain about filling the damn thing up! Although I must admit I didn't realy enjoy filling the gun from 100 bar. If I was you id stay with the filling bottle. Or even better get a springer!!!

I have one as I share a dive bottle with my grandad its nice to have my own way of refilling. I have a BSA pump (maybe a hills in disguise? I dont know) and I can fill my buddy bottle to 232 bar OK (its just bloody hard)
It is nice to be independant, unless you live next door to a dive shop
Using a pump is no problem and if it starts to get too much like hard work then it could be a sign that the seals are on the way out.
