    Marksman pellets

    I ordered some from these chaps yesterday evening; cheapest I've seen them and P&P reasonable

    Tins, boxes, round & pointed. Also .177s
    Prefer the boxes myself from a nostalgia point
    Single 500 box .22 round are £3.95
    Interesting link to the modern Lincoln Jeffries pellet site http://www.marksmanpellets.com

    I can vouch for the Defiant's being excellent quality, I'm about halfway through a box. They're big so easy to handle yet not too heavy at 14.5gr (same as superdomes) and its the only pellet I've seen so far that looks exactly like the big picture on the adverts, very clean. A bit pricey though.
    I too have a tin of wasp's (new) and found them very poor quality.

    Never had any success with the new Wasps.

    The Vintage Defiants suit my MK1 and 2 Airsporters very well, but I thought they had already been discontinued.

    The best 'modern' pellets I've encountered are RWS Superdomes and Hobbys. They are officially 5,5 mm but still seem to suit the bigger barrels - maybe because they are softer and deform to fit more readily?
    Happy Shooting!! Paul.

    Yep Vintage Defiants - look around, pax, blackpool air, e bay, solware etc

    RWS Superdome, and FTT in 5.54 in the old broad barrels. You can specify size of FTT from suppliers like Sportwaffen Schnieder our German friends

    I keep asking the question - has anyone tried the Vintage Defiants and if so - how do you rate them for Airsporter Mk1s and 2s etc?

    milbro select,people must think i have shares in them seeing i keep recommending them.stated as 5.5 but are bigger and work well in my bsa standard and worked well in the web.mk3 i used to have.in fact these pellets worked best in my . rifles and were the cheapest to buy.i think it's the low price that discourages people. atb
