    Be interested to know; please post up your results.
    As you say .22 may be better as 11g is a much more sensible weight....

    Being zinc based rather than lead, won't they increase wear on your barrel?

    no , as zinc is much softer than the steel in a barrel,wear shouldnt be a problem.

    Tried some in 22 in my HW77. TBH not impressed. Very fast but seemed to lose velocity and accuracy very quickly. All over beyond 50 yds!

    Yes - they are Tin, not Zinc. Very accurate in both an AGS springer and an HW80, though (because of their light weight) I never tried them past 25 yards. Did knock a 15 yard rabbit flat with the 80. Prohibitively expensive, however.....

    seriously.....don't you think maybe 50 yds is pushing it with any pellet in a springer even though it is a weihrauch ?.i quite like the idea of the lead alternative pellets but as yet,at sensible ranges i have only tried h&n barracuda green which didn't compare to the normal lead diet i usually use.All the same i will still try other brands of lead free pellets as we all know not 1 pellet suits all guns,regardless of what its made from.
