    "New" Marksman Pellets

    I'm sure I read on here that Marksman pellets had undergone a redesign. Well I just bought new style tins of both .177 and .22 and can only see a difference in the design of the tin. The pellets inside seem to be unchanged. Am I missing summat?
    One thing I have noticed is that a lot of the pellets in the tin (and a 500 box I recently bought) have small ammounts of white oxidisation on them. When I used to buy them as a kid they were always much cleaner, and were seen as the top end of the cheapies.
    The South of England has 2 good things, the M1 and the A1. Both will take you to Yorkshire.

    The `New` Marksman pellets are pretty good, I have found. Are you sure you have the `new` ones or old stock. ???? The shape and weight of the pellets are the same as before but the quality is much better than of old.

    Any chance you could post a pic of one of these new pellets. To be honest, I never had any issues with the "old" ones. You'd always seem to get a couple of mal-formed (usually double ended) pellets in a tin of 500, but generally they seemed to be a fairly decent, cheap pellet.
