    RWS Superdome .22

    I have a tin marked 13.4grns, but all others appear to be 14.5.

    Old stock perhaps?..

    I think they changed the design five or ten years ago.

    Just dug out an old tin from the 1990s - it says 13.4.

    My tin's 14.5 but there's not many left.
    I'd say adjust your scope accordingly and enjoy them, I prefer the older Domes in any case, especially in older Beezers and Webbos !

    I'm still using quite a few in anger, recent tins are the same as yours but the pellets are 14.4 - 14.6 in weight. The are very accurate but have a rubbish BC so I don't use them much past 20M, they do drop a bit.
    They seem quite happy in older 5.6mm .22 barrels so since the demise of Defiant Vintage I always keep a few tins for my Airsporter's & stuff

    The current weight superdomes were very, very consistent in weight when I weighed a batch of 100 or so before a recent chrono session (yes I am as dull as that makes me appear!)
