    the ones that you had to put together yourself with the copper head and black skirt were called sussex sabots.
    they seem to be commanding high prices for unused packs on fleabay.

    I remember an incident with one of these and my stainless steel kitchen sink - the pellet won
    I didn't realise they weren't a soft metal like lead
    Never mind, a dab of epoxy filled the hole quite neatly Seems funny now...

    This, in spades.

    I'd avoid anything related to the pellets and those that peddle them, personally.

    I suppose there's a reason there are hundereds of brands of lead pellets & just a few of these exotics, hasn't stopped me trying a few over the years. I forget exactly the brand but some were going through a 40yard target sideways...
