A couple of years ago Phil Price from AirgunWorld magazine gave me one of these that he had in his shooting bag

The 'ball' end seats the pellet perfectly

I believe that these were once given away free with the magazine

Using the ball end of the tool as a guide I made a 2nd out of wood as mentioned above

Well , just to confirm what several members have told me on here, I fabricated a pellet seating tool utilising a 1/4 inch ball bearing, loaded 10 magazines and seated all the pellets with my tool, no pun intended, and emptied all magazines with no hang ups what so ever. Just goes to show most of the problems I had in the past were most likely due to this one item lol. you gotta laugh. Its the simple things in life.

Thats great - glad you got this sorted!

RWS Hobby have a large tail and are difficult/impossible to seat properly with fingers. A tool is needed. Use Geco or H & N Econo and they will seat with the ball of your thumb.

Thanks Derek, I use pellets from Max Weiser they are branded H+N Match. I bought 5000 from Germany some years ago and am now getting to use them. They work a treat in my Twinmaster Trainer and these are what I am now using in my Colt. Yes they do need seating but waste not want not .
