Out now and new I believe !
Has anyone tried them in the older British springers ?
I'm thinking BSA, Webley and Scott etc.
They just may be the answer to replacing the superb Eley Wasp in our older air rifles ?

However, it was produced in 2016, so this pellet must be an old variety.
On the other hand, I would be keen to find a replacement for the superb Eley Wasp. I am finding, after tests in recent days, that H&N Pointed are producing excellent groupings in my .22s but these are old H&Ns of some 40 years ago. I think the new H&Ns are smooth bodied. I will get some new ones, however, and try these.

Got a sample pack and worked well in my Mercury mk3 ,not been able to find full tins until now. Tried 5.54 as well god but no better than 5.53 . Where did you find a full tin?

Yes I have tried 5.55 FTT in my long 45" Mod D made 1910.
Didn't do well. Outclassed by good old Domes = <3/4" groups @ 20yds rested. Defiant Vintage didn't do well either.
Strangely, found the large FTT's shot beautifully in a 97K, so used up the tin there.
I've got a red box of oxidised old Marksman No2 bore roundheads to try when weather improves!
