They still are. I use them in AA s200, AA s400, AA s410, Daystate MK4, A LGU and HW97 and they perform pellet on pellet at all distances if I do my bit where as JSB and AA pellets give me flyers. I have used them for 25 years. Not all guns i have used like them mainly BSA were fussy, but heres a few more that do like them, all rapids I've owned most FXs do EV2s and FTP 900. I would send your three boxes to me as they will be rubbish in your guns.
