    Bisley Practice should be ok.
    It may be so, I'm not sure.
    Months ago I posted a thread, trying to find out the estimated life span of these Co2 pellet firers. I didn't get any clear indication, so I'm none the wiser!

    I made a mistake regarding pellets. I use Bisley Practice in all my pistols and Webley Accupell in the revolvers. I have been through my earlier replies and corrected my error.

    The older I get, the more I know, the less makes sense!

    Sorry I made a mistake (Getting old). I use Webley Accupell in the revolvers and Bisley Practice in the pistols.

    Dont know about Accupells.

    I read somewhere that Umarex test the Peacemakers to 2500 rounds.
    Not much compared to the old Crosman 600s which were cycled on test rigs for hundreds of thousands.

    The truth is that most modern co2 guns are not built to last and many cant be repaired.
    The exeptions being the original Umarex pellet firers CP88,1911 etc.

    But I hope yours can be sorted.

    I hope so too. It's been "fixed" once before, so fingers crossed!
    If not I'll want to know why they don't put a label on the box saying "lifetime of this product 2500 rounds" and see how there sales figures drop! As far as I'm concerned it isn't of "merchantable quality" and should be replaced F.O.C.
