    What do you do with 25 tins of pellets?

    Having been in the hobby now a couple of years, trying all kinds of different pellets on old vintage guns to try to find the ones that work, you end up with a lot of tins laying around. Anyone got a unique way of storing them? Right now I have a cardboard box and the kitchen table.

    If you had 25,000 tins that would be different, I would just put the 25 tins in a box and stick them in a cupboard or in the loft, or sell them on here .

    Kindest regards

    With several varieties of .177, .22, .25 and various ball/BB, I probably have around that amount to hand open and ready for testing. All stored in an easy to reach cupboard along with my cleaning kit, gunsmith's screwdrivers and yet more pellets.

    When I think of it I've probably got that amount - I never really seen it as a problem You could always use them!

    Just did a 20 tin order from Uttings, they will all get used soon enough when a single session can sometimes get through a tin!
    Thanks - Geoff.

    Would it be worth putting some kind of lubricant in each tin to stop the pellets oxidising?

    If I don’t reply to your comments it’s probably because you’re on my Ignore list.

    Go idea, I think a little lubricant also helps the repeating mechanisms on my guns as well.
