I agree with you totally Ian,

A couple of years ago Phil Price from AirgunWorld magazine gave me one of these that he had in his shooting bag

The 'ball' end seats the pellet perfectly

I believe that these were once given away free with the magazine

Using the ball end of the tool as a guide I made a 2nd out of wood as mentioned above

Well , just to confirm what several members have told me on here, I fabricated a pellet seating tool utilising a 1/4 inch ball bearing, loaded 10 magazines and seated all the pellets with my tool, no pun intended, and emptied all magazines with no hang ups what so ever. Just goes to show most of the problems I had in the past were most likely due to this one item lol. you gotta laugh. Its the simple things in life.

Thats great - glad you got this sorted!

RWS Hobby have a large tail and are difficult/impossible to seat properly with fingers. A tool is needed. Use Geco or H & N Econo and they will seat with the ball of your thumb.

I have tried a 1/4 inch ball bearing and pressing that onto the pellet seats it nicely below the face of the magazine but still leaves plenty of clearance at the front of the mag. I will now find something, a piece of dowel or similar and set the ball bearing in that to use as my pellet seater. Thanks for all your advice guys.
Have a good un.
