"Had less than a tin of pellets through it"?

[tinbum]

How often do I read that phrase, and how the Hell can it be possible? Do these people not enjoy shooting?

Two weeks ago I recieved 2k of FTT for my Fenman and 1k AA Fields for my Sumatra GCG, today I realised I need to order more of both!

Any recomendations for bulk buy outlets appreciated.

Clearly you need to own more guns - only once the obsession leading to the quantity followed by the possibility one has a problem that despite shooting every time life allows some of your kit doesn't get used - the question looms in the darkest depths of your mind - Have I got to many? followed by the terrible possibility that indeed is the case.

Or, they are married....

I can easily go through a tin in one sitting.

What about our sponsor JSR. Sure he'd do a deal on bulk buys.

I put over two hundred pellets in each of my two guns that I take to the range each week and I only stay a short while compared to the others.
I must have bought over 15 tins of 4.52, 4.43, 5.52 and 5.51 since Feb.
When I am testing it could be as many as 150 pellets to settle the power and internals only.

i must get through a least 1000-1200 per month between the plinking range, HFT range and over the fields/garden

[angrybear]

Well I hate shooting paper, so my Rapids get 1 magazine each combined chrono & zero check maybe twice a year (12 pellets) after that it's 1 pellet per Rabbit/Rat/Magpie/Crow/Jay shot, probably works out less than a mag a month across the year

BAR are good if you want to order 10+ tins and mix n match. Countryway are also fairly competitive depending on pellets - or then you can import from the EU web sites, but there is not as much difference these days in price.

I try to buy a full sleeve at a time. that's 5k. I like to know there all the same batch then there's less chuffing about. Nice if you get a good batch, not so good if its a bad batch!

Probably because they have fired other things through it.

Darts.
Steel BB.
Small Pebbles.
Salt.
Matches.
Nails.

And it was knackered when they got back round to the pellets - so they want to sell it.

Being a bit of a collector for many years I must have over 40 rifles, both PCP's and springers, that have had nowhere near a tin of pellets through them. Didn't set out to collect, just seemed to happen over a long period of time. Problem was that when I bought a new rifle I couldn't bring myself to part with the others and, after trying the new rifle, I always went back to my trusty old LR90 for field work. Now the time is nearing to move them on to the next keeper you may well be seeing the phrase quite a lot on this site

I agree that collectors could have guns that are seldom shot. You can have guns that don't see much use and others that do even within a modest collection or accumulation.

I only put about 30 pellets a month through my Ultra, basically just keeping my hand in....
My FAC rifles get to see a lot more action. My .303 Lee Enfield = 50 rounds p/m. The .223 = 50 rounds, and my 22 rim-fire = 100+ p/m. Reloading for the first two rifles is also an enjoyable pastime.
I used to shoot air rifles virtually every day, but over the past twelve months (since I've had my ticket) air rifles have been pushed out a little.
