    hi guys,
    i just thought i would quickly add this..
    i seem to get just as tight grouping using umarex steel BB's or H&N copper coated lead BB's as most tend to get when using pellets, the grouping mak shows using pellets in hes video i think are quite average, so high accuracy even for a BB shooter its not quite true..

    Dont get me wrong though i like some of maks videos and he is a nice guy to talk to as well..

    Also i know people use pellets in their peacemaker, but lets not forget the smooth bore barrels that come in BB airguns are quite tight for pellets, the barrels are quite a bit tighter then a 4.5mm rifled barrel,, so when using pellets, pellets will leave a lead coating/dust etc inside your inner barrel, and after time this will build up, And because the barrels on these peacemakers are not easy to clean as the cylinder can not be removed unless the gun is completely taken to bits, i would not wont to use pellets in mine,, you can clean the barrel with a push rod from the muzzle end but once again, your pushing the dust/dirt etc down towards the cylinder which is not ideal..

    What i say is, do you really want to dirty the barrel and risk damaging the seal on the cartridges just for a possible 5mm or so better grouping and like i said umarex or H&H BB's seem to do just as good a job anyway, well for me and a few others at least..
    If you dont want rebounds go for the H&N copper coated BB's, they will not dirty your barrel half as quickly as lead pellets will and will also not damage your seals either..

    Its just my thoughts guys, im not saying im right and others are wrong its just my opinion.

    ATB, Marc..
