    I have a few tins of Gamo Match in .177, which I bought to use in a Gamo Compact pistol. Trouble with them is the huge variation in size, even in a single tin. Some shoot OK, some are so tight they won't fire, and some are in between. Maybe you'll have more luck in .22.

    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    I was thinking you could get someone to bring you back some... it's worth a bit of hassle

    Was made aware by a friend of mine H&N made the FTT in 5,55 and ordered some to try.
    They do a VERY good job in my early BSA's and another friend uses them in his Webley pistols with great result.

    I agree with some inconsistencies in 22’s but not awful, but no solution is perfect and in a Pistol, your ranges are pretty confined. At least they all seem to fill the barrel?
