Bimoco Pellets

[Sam99]

Hello All.

A Happy New to you.

I've been having a bit of a clear out and came across these.
I knew I had them , I just haven't seen them for a while.

I bought a Webley Service about 30 years ago and these came with it.

Bimoco , 0.25 and wadcutters.
I have never seen another tin.

Does anyone have another example ???

Any comments , please ??


Thanks,

Sam

Hi Sam, sure I have a few in a similar but very tatty tin somewhere...I had these "cotton reel" .25's a while back

And have various smaller types;

They seem to be thin on the ground in the U.K., most of these came from Germany, but I have seen old Airgun mags with ads for Bimoco, so obviously they were sold here in the past.

Sorry I can't be more helpful!

Hi Sam,

I used to have a tin like those in Ed's first pic. These date from the 1980s. Some of Bimoco's design's were quite revolutionary and resurrected by John Rothery's during the 1990s as part of the Bisley range, when the latter first appeared. The cotton reel shape was later sold as the Bisley Carbine pellet.

they used to make a target/match pellet in .177 which came in flat green plastic boxes if I remember correctly,this was back in the mid 70's.
