    I'm no great mind, just a skinflint

    Cheapskate tip No2: Instead of buying chalk disc targets use trebor mints. They are bio degradable and they taste nicer too

    For non smokers best fiter tips are:-

    .177 swan slimline
    .20 zig zag slimline
    .22 zig zag regular

    When using filters it is advisable to remove your silencer, they can be a right b@gger to try and shake out if they catch on a baffle.

    dont no about anybody else.....

    but theres things are great, our club has been using them for years!

    put the first one down with a bit of oil, then a further 4-5 to clean out!

    we call them 'DISCO-FELTS'

    (and 'no' its not a plesent experiance felt on a saturday night out, before somebody asks! )

    cant remember exactly why?

    i think it was the original name for them!

    but you can pick them up from any gun shop for what this guys wanting for them with postage!

    My local gun shop sells these for £2.50 in .22 and .177.
    I use them Put a pellet in first then a wad. Finaly put a pellet behind. As for putting oil on the wad everyone I know always advise don't put oil down the barrel it could cause deiseling.
    Lead is a natural lubricant anyway.
