    Glad I've still got a few tins as that's all I use in my Crosman 600, not that I use it much nowadays.

    I have resorted to H&N Excite Plinking, slightly heavier at 12.81gr, but they cycle well in my Crosman 600.
    Too many guns, or not enough time?

    I've tried the Excite Hammer in one or two of mine. Budget pricing with good performance.

    I also use the Crosman wadcutters in my 2240s, which I also bought cheaply from our sponsor.

    Have to agree with Tone regarding the Hammers but I've never found a single rifle or pistol that like Crosman pellets.
    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    Funny you should say that as I bought a tin some years to use in that same pistol, still not used it !

    I hope the availability issues are just a short term thing and resolved soon. I'm a fan of the Hobby. Many of my rifles and pistols love them. As said earlier, great for ratting.
