    Anything'd be better than those soaps, Pete.

    I'll have a search out for the one you mention. It's nice now that we can view YouTube through an app thing (me being ever technical here) on Sky and, hence, on the TV. I actually managed to sneakily watch some pellet testing videos for a while yesterday afternoon without getting rumbled.

    Nothing quite like the real thing, though. Must get some plinkies in; I'm well out of practice and especially hopeless on standers!

    Up we go with a Friday afternoon boing.

    I recently bought some 'damaged tins' of Crosman Premier 'Domed Ultra Magnum' 14.3grn roundhead pellets from our sponsor, at a discounted price.
    Well, the tins and the contents look in good condition to me, and who can resist a bargain

    This afternoon I tried a few in my .22 HW45 Silver Star, and they seem OK at close plinking ranges. They drop into the breech quite easily, and require just a short final push to seat them firmly in the barrel.

    I haven't tried them over the chrono yet, but I'll do that soon, and try some other pellets as well for comparison.

    Don't know much about 'em, Mick. No doubt the good old BSA will have got them wrong too!

    Sorry, Pete.. Were BSA involved in the poultry trade at any point?

    Anyways, they have GOT to treat us to a boinger next!

    The last few times I've bought pellets I've also bought them from JSR, Paul. Breaking one of my long standing self-imposed rules of supporting my "local". But I don't really have a local and I appreciate just how much the BBS means to me.

    My last two orders have also included some Crosman pellets. The .22 wadcutters. Cheap as chips, seem really well made and finished and seemingly as good through my 2240s as anything else.. Everything from the H&N Excite range seems really good value too. I've only tried the .22 Hammer so far and, like the Crosmans mentioned, seem very good for the down to earth price. Makes shorter range home plinking in .22 less of a luxury pursuit.

    Or maybe not.

    Just imagine a Brummy 35 with rolled sheet piston and barrel hinge pin!

    I bought some of these Crosman wadcutters to use in my Crosman 600 - a good all round pellet that shoots well for plinking in a variety of guns.

    I note that 'Webley Verminpells' are the same, but cost more

    Although I haven't checked recently, I think JSR also still stock the 7.9 gr boxed Crosman Premier? Lovely pellets that go well in a good few of my HWs.
