There's nothing cushy about life in the Women's Auxiliary Balloon Corps!
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.Originally Posted by mattyw1987
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.

Been forever since I last went to a Boot sale, think last one was Hitchin around Christmas time several years back, the Old Man forgot the foot plates to the wheelchair so I had to try and hold my feet up while supporting stuff in my lap, no shooting stuff that I remember but might get lucky going to one out in the sticks I guess as more space to shoot out there.

I bought some, they are OK, but might try some bulldog or marksman in 5.6mm

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.
