Out of interest what is a pellet sizer ? Have seen these while reading through a few articles. I am just wondering what they are for . Might be a silly question but I won’t no the answer if I don’t ask
Thanks

I'd love to tell you that a pellet sizer is a mechanical device that turns .22 pellets into long .177 pellets but I just might be telling porkies, so, in my limited knowledge it's a device to produce pellets of, in theory, the same diameter. In most tins of pellets, let's say 4.51 stated diameter, there will be some 4.50 and some 4.52. So if you want consistent. 4.51s, using a 4.51 pellet sizer will size those that are slightly bigger to 4.51. I guess 4.50 would just drop through(?) Of course, someone more knowledgeable will come along and explain the operation far better than I can, but I hope this helps somewhat..
You already have a pellet sizer on your gun, it is called the breech.
Some people use pellet sizers to ensure that the skirt on all their pellets is exactly the same size but the breech on your gun des the same job.

It might do but the variation in the force required to move a tight pellet is different to a loose one so consistency can be improved.
Despite what many think, to date with all sorts of barrels and pellets and power plants we’ve not see one whose skirt seals into the grooves of rifling. This is from examining pellets under a microscope caught in a very soft trap at 50m.
Not sure if he still does them but I have an adjustable TR Robb one in .22
Edit: Just checked, he does still list them https://www.trrobb.com/storepage2193616.aspx

The ones i have seen are a simple plate with very accurately sized holes that you push your pellets through the holes are 4.50 4.51 4.52 and 4.53 there are . 22 sized holes as well.
