Thanks, I wrote it very much from a shooters perspective with fellow shooters in mind, and as I mentioned in the article all pellets were purchased by me from local shops.Originally Posted by Gunfun
At the time of my test I had lost my usual 3/4" ply backstop, so used some standard 5mm ply to pin my targets to, at all distances the tin pellets went straight through it and into the stinging nettles behind, so they were still carrying plenty of energy. I also tried the Baracuda's at 50 yards on a standard FT target which I was able to knock down ever time.
I think they are just too light at present, and even the 8.4grn Excites did not hold much of a group at distance, which was a surprise.
My feeling is that for indoor targets, or pest control around grain or other foodstuffs where lead is not ideal, some of these tin pellets would work extremely well.
