I shoot £4 a tub Geco's in the Steyr and can't tell the difference from R10's

Im not surprised.
Ive yet to find a pistol or rifle that makes the expense of R10s worth it.
Gecos are often better.
Cheap is OK for plinking on windy, rainy days. Saves wasting the good stuff.
I started this life with nothing and I still have most of it left!
There will be many airguns out there that will shoot more accurately with cheaper rather than more expensive pellets so, as always, it's advisable to accuracy test with a wide variety of pellets.
The other reason for choosing cheaper pellets would be for pure plinking duties. If I only owned one rifle and was using it for a variety of different purposes, including fun plinking, I would, however, rather just stick to the pellet that I'd settled on for top accuracy, with the barrel being conditioned with them.
Anyone remember the Rod Linton pellet tests in the early days of AGW? I seem to remember that one of the most accurate rifle/pellet combinations was a Mercury being fed a diet of Marksman pellets.

I do, I think the Mercury/Marksmen combo gave the best group of all at 4.5mm at 10m.! Although I also remember reading that some of the "results" were obtained at considerably closer ranges!!!!
Steve-I understand your video is purely to demonstrate what we all learn in life: "Wise man cry once, foolish man save money but cry often", however, to batch test different pellets in any rife, you need to ensure you clean the bore properly and then re-lead in the barrel before you shoot groups-2-3 pull through's should get the barrel clean enough and 20-30 pellets of the brand to be tested should be sufficient to condition the barrel.
Well done on the video, you are obviously an enthusiast
Never go off half cocked....
All lies matter
any old cheapos will work.take them out of the tin and wash them in a strong washing up liquid mixture. rinse them and dry them. a hot air blower gets the job done quicker. wash the tin.
then use a mixture of turtlewax. 1 part turtlewax to 5 parts water. tumble the pellets in that then dry them. hey preston, lubed pellets.
the only thing i can find wrong is the nut on the steering wheel.
Cheap pellets are only good for them dirty springers.
I wouldn't want to get my hands dirty when using my best pcp

I use the above for 10m air pistol in a Steyr & a couple of rather nice Feinwerkbaus, they are considerably more accurate than me & under £4 a tin so I don't see the point in spending twice as much on R10s. Surprised a certain Mr Jones who's a considerably better shot than me hasn't jumped in on this thread!
ATB John.
ok, I admit it, I've got a problem.
