    The lightest would probably be the new one from Gamo ("Raptor", I think it's called) but it is said to become inaccurate at the higher velocities it can attain in higher powered rifles.

    Check the weblog at PyramidAir, they've tested it.

    Eley wasps are 6.9 cheap and quite decently made...
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    RWS Hobbies are great in Co2 pistols, and as Slacker24 says the MV is always
    good

    IMHO I would say that SMK plinkers are the lightest .177 pellet, as they are made from plastic. As to if they are practical is another matter.
