Silver Jets were excellent quality, allegedly, but so expensive no-one could afford them.

H&N Pointed were very good if you checked them before using, and discarded the fairly rare dodgy ones.

All the others gave poor accuracy, Jackal Jets being some of the worst. Even the RWS Superpoints were not very accurate and they seemed well-made.

One of the surprising pellets of the age was the Beeman Silver Bear/H&N Hollowpoint. This gave extremely good accuracy.

In general though, match pellets like H&N Match or RWS Meisterkulgen were far far better than anything else. Group sizes would be half that of round-head pellets and a third that of pointed pellets (with exception of the Silver Jets and H&N Pointed). Flat-headed match pellets were good for hunting at up to 35 yards, no problem with over-penetration as could be the case with the sharper pointed pellets.

When FT came along it was found the flat-headed match pellets lost energy very quickly at longer ranges. I think that is why the H&N FTT was invented and all those other 'precision' roundheads like the Crosman Accu-Pell.

Roundheads and flat 'wadcutter' pellets are all we need nowadays, I saw some horrendous sharp plastic-tipped pellets the other day, what a nonsense, clearly bad ideas DON'T just roll over and die.
