    New pellet can from the US

    Just received a sample of a Pellcan today, its a fairly new can for holding pellets. In reality its bigger than a standard tin, and its exceptional quality.

    Their website is here...

    http://www.pellcan.com/

    Pricey though, around $50 in the states.

    So it's expensive but bigger and thus allows you to spill more pellets while it's open?
    Not seeing any plus points here

    Think its possible aimed more at match rifle shooters, but still a nce bit of kit.

    Airtight and waterproof also, unlike your pocket

    The MEC Air Puck tin looks very similar at £26

    I think it has a rounded base so the pellets roll towards the centre as the tin empties.

    Nope,
    Match shooters use containers which hold individual pellets separately cushioned and cherished, they wouldn't want them bouncing around and damaging one another's skirts!
    It's a shiny but pointless box, noting wrong with that, and nice if you've nothing else to spend the money on, I'd rather spend that kind of money on pellets

    Based on all of the above I declare it a resounding crock
    Well done on getting a freebie, they need to push it somewhere where folks are both richer and dafter

    I always think these kind of things are the most pointless inventions around.

    Yes I'm from Yorkshire and therefore tight as the proverbial (insert your own simile), but even so.

    There's plastic pill containers (airtight). Tic tac boxes. Buy a tin of accupels and keep the nice screw top tin once you've got rid of the contents (shooting them optional). What else ... freebie tins of mints from conferences. I've even seen tins of that exact design being sold as special pellet tins!

    You could even push the boat out and invest £4 in one of the plastic "safety boxes" for the standard tins.

    Or my favourite the new "Safety Band" (r)(tm), "Keeps your lid on" (r). A very eye catching shade of red they are too.

    They're my favourite price and you find them on your doorstep after the postie has been.
