Alternatives to RWS Hobby .22 cal.

I knew it would

A friend of mine gave up smoking, he says that the bit he missed most was opening a new packet and seeing the cigarettes all pristine and neat in the box. Opening a tin of pellets is a bit like that for me.

Very much agree with that sentiment.

Bought one tin of Hobby recently £12.50 and was sad to have to use the (slightly marked) lid from the old tin. The new one doesn't fit tightly enough evidence the 200 or so pellets strewn around the floor and furniture after lifting the tin out of the pistol case by the lid.

I do like screw-tops.

Whoops. The Hobby has increased in price alarmingly over the last few years. They were once priced very much in the "budget" category, although from a premium manufacturer. Now not looking the bargain that they once did, but I'll still use them in a fair few of my guns.
