Baldyman is now extinct
H\N Pointed were ok..and silver jet..the rest had no point at all.

You can't say muntjack without saying mmmmm
H&N Coppa Point. These are absolutely the mutt's nuts when fired through my BSA Centenial.
The South of England has 2 good things, the M1 and the A1. Both will take you to Yorkshire.
I think these are the fore-runners.....later re -badged as Beeman, but these are the Japanese originals.......even the packs are the same as Beeman.....the quality is outstanding when viewed close up, real little works of art .......and they seem to group really well........I don't hunt, so can't comment on their knock-down ability, but they certainly are accurate......H\N Pointed were ok..and silver jet..the rest had no point at all.

I have a couple packs of these too .

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.
