How bad are Spitfires really?

[mattyw1987]

I use .22 Spitfires for informal target and plinking. They look OK - seem OK. I was at a boot sale and always zoom in on shooty things. There was an old tin (same pretty tin) and yes the old oxidised pellets that were left looked truly awful.

Tried to support my local gunshop and asked for cheap .22. For £9.00 I got "David Nickerson Magnum Point". Never again. Only good for power testing (13.2 gn) and very informal plinking.

Yes them David Nickerson I feel are the same or more or less as the old spitfires terrible, plinking in .22 I like hobby’s.

I've never tried the Spitfires. Most likely never will.

The budget pellets I have tried, and they impress, are the H&N Excite Hammer. I've only tried them in .22 so far. Others have reported similarly pleasing results with the .177s and also the flat head variety.

New ones in .177 are surprisingly good. Equal to JSB and FTT in guns I've tried them in

That definately sounds promising as my indoor pellet guns are both 177.
