    Crikey, I chucked out a tin of those in the 80s... They're absolute pantolas.

    Unbelievable price

    Maybe because they still have the loading tool

    I know, mad, as is £40+ for the Sussex Armoury Sabo pellets, as in the auction, as mentioned above, as I thought all knew Sabo pellets were pants http://www.airgunbbs.com/showthread....highlight=sabo !!!

    They are getting rarer, I have half a dozen full packs somewhere in a box in the garage, I've given a few away to friends, maybe I'll auction off the rest in a couple of years

    Ha Ha!

    You know nothing. In the 1980s they were used by the SASA as wet ops firelighters for monkeypuzzlers, and they were carried by Icelandic whalers for back-up shots in case the main harpoon failed (fired from a smoothbore BSA Mercury).

    50 quid is a bargain.

    I agree; absolute bargain. Awesome ammo and very safe; particularly when used with HW77 etc; with or without the loading tool it would be a feat to get the ammo into the breech! But; in the right circumstances and the right rifle, they would be unbeatable! I'm just waiting for those circumstances and rifle!

    They are a piece of history though!

    Morning Alistair. What a SPLENDID way to start the new week -- read this about ten minutes ago now, and just can't stop chuckling.
