    5.6mm oversize pellets for webley premier

    Hi

    Im looking for some 5.6 rather than 5.5mm pellet for a webley premier as regular 5.5 seem to just drop into the barrel. Can anyone recommend a decent quality pellet that isnt the wasp which seem to be rather pants in quality.

    Weirdly - my pre-war Mk1 is fine with standard 5.5's

    Premier pistol ammo

    The latest version of the Bulldog pellets work well in my own Premiers, and they don't cost too much!

    Try Bisley Practice, they work miracles in some older guns - I find they are superb in AA sidelevers for example and being flat heads are good for target shooting out to 30m with rifles- groups start to open up a bit after that but they will be fine if they suit your pistol...and they are not too heavy (13.8 I think?) and not too expensive.

    Try Milbro Caledonian Ultra, they go really well in my old Vulcan barrel but are a tight fit in the Longbow barrel (made by Walther), so that implies to me that they are 5.56 ans might be good for your Premier.

    RWS Hobbys all I really use in my Tempest - 5.56 barrel. The new Wasps are useless in the aforementioned, however they work fine in my Airsporter..
