mauser pellets

[bigchap]

i didn't know there was such a thing,i have a tin of mauser diabolo kugeln in .177.are they any good?
or shall i just put them in the shed?

[junglie]

Are they very old? if so I would imagine some pellet collector would like to have them,if not old there's only one way to find out, shoot some.

i don't think they are that old,i can't shoot them until my fwb 121 arrives next week as all i have at the moment is .22 rifles.

There is, or was, "a licence negotiated between Mauser and Umarex GmbH under which the latter may apply the banner mark [i.e. the famous "Mauser banner"] to blank firers, airguns, pellets and similar items; the 'Mauser' pellets are actually made by H&N."

From John Walter's 1987 Airgun Book.
