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.

I'm like that, too!
I love the look of those shiny new pellets looking all cosy, nestling in the tin with their buddies.
And I'll never forget my first experience with the Hobby (and Diablo). I was fifteen at the time and had my first 35. We had very few shops closeby selling airguns / related gear, so a friend and I went to Sheffield on the train. Visited Sugg Sports and Guns & Ammo.
When I first opened my first tin of Hobby, it was the ribbing and the recessing details that stood out as well as the "heavy", thick scent and the dark look. I still remember it like yesterday. Wasps, I seem to remember, had a "sharper / crisper" smell?
