    How About Rifle Pellets?

    Having "dug-out" the old 300S with a view to using it after a rebuild, I have bought a 601 to use during the "down-time" I am expecting to be without it. ( it should be here early this week).

    So now for the first time I am interested in a slightly different slant to this debate that has been mainy focused on pellets used in pistols.

    I am guessing the Geco/Hobby argument and recommendation is not so strong for use in my new rifle activety as I believe heavier pellets could be better suited - and maybe the 4.50 size could actually be better than the smaller 4.48 and 4.49 sizes?

    Any thoughts on using 4.50 R10 Rifle or 4.50 JSB Yellow's?

    Methinks I will try some Gecos for myself in my P44 and see what happens - they are certainly worth a try.
    As they say in the discount stores "Why pay more ?".
    An experienced shooter at the club was coaching me, I was using his Matchgun MG1, I thought I had put a pellet in the breach the wrong way, he said it would not matter it would only make a couple of mms difference.
