I remember using H&N Barracuda heavy weight pellets re-sized for a good fit in the BSA.
Anything up to 25 yds was a guaranteed clean kill.
My challenger was the last in a long line of BSA's, my first was an old late sixties Meteor(Right of passage rifle) followed by a Super Meteor, then a Mk 5 Airsporter, followed by a Airsporter S and finally the Challenger.
It was my first BSA with a 2 stage trigger and was (still is) a fantastic looking rifle.
While we are on the subject of classics, I also have an Anshultz 335 with the lock-up catch missing (flew off while shooting one day, glanced off my head and is still in low eath orbit as far as I know!) any ideas on parts for that old dinosaur chaps.
Many thanks again and great to meet you all.
Cheers John.
