    Champion pellets

    These followed me home last week. Collectable/desirable or just retro?

    Used to plink with these. Rubbish and you end up with ball bearings everywhere.

    Probably very collectable though. I'll dig around and see if I have any left.

    Champion

    Never shot those type but I still have champion alouette I think they were called, a copper washed pellet and the champion fireball both in .22.

    Neither are the most accurate but usable if you chose too for plinking.

    The fireball do loose the steel bearing end on occasions but they are what they are .
    Nice collectables anyway

    Years back someone I used to shoot with thought they were fantastic . So when I put a post up used to get the answer that they were crap .

    Champion pellets used to be sold all over the world under numerous brand names but were never of the best quality.

    I remember buying a standard tin of their .177 pellets for 3.50, when proper Eley Wasps could be had for just over £1. Never felt so ripped off in my life
