Pellet head dia
Waiting for the olympics to kick in and having time to spare I weighed a tin of AA diabolo's 4.52 and then because of curiosity ran 60 through a pellet gauge to check their head dia.
I had noticed that some seemed a bit loose in the barrel of my FTP900 and HW97 in the past and if the barrel was inclined up some fell out.
Immediately the gauge showed the 4.52 pellets were in fact 4.48 with a few at 4.49, although quite consistant with the spread; but very confusing as I always assumed when the tin said 4.52 thats what they were, not as small as shown by the gauge.
So to get pellets of 4.52 (if they would improve accuracy) I might start to try 4.53 or 4 to match the rifles barrel. Assuming that that is 4.52?
Now it seems I need to get a bore gauge.' Are there any pellets that are in fact 4.52?
