Robin's right the difference in price is so small as to not really be of any concern especially if you went and bought a high end pistol to put them through....the difference between a 9 and a 10 is the same whether you're a club shooter or an elite one and you might argue its the less capable shooter that needs all the help they can get!

But if you really are hard up (as opposed to just being tight ) Gecos are the best of the practice pellets IMO.
