I used to use them batch no .....231 65 52 bar code ..528.
When they ran out tried buying new ,not same nos.Due to factory mix up and new suppy with old nos tins I had to return £150 worth.
However I managed to find a dusty full box of 3year old 528's 25000 of them.
The new pellets compared to the old ones are not the same will not hold groups at 55yds as the old one will,and drop more.
When I measured them the old ones had a larger tail dia and a smaller nose dia compared to the newer ones .Why they should reduce the tail dias and increase the nose dias on a successful pellet I don't know ,but it sure as hell dropped their market share.
Most of the top shots that used to shoot them became aware of the shortcomings of the new 'MODEL'very quickly about 2 years ago.That is why if you can get the old ones they are like 'gold dust'
