Is it full of Eley Wasp?

i dont know its not my thread

[cornish guy]

When I have fired Wasps (Bisley made) and Eley Wasp I found up to a 2ft/lb difference in power output in favour of the genuine Eley Wasp. I have Eley Wasps for my 1907 to 1938 Bsa rifle collection, also find that new BSA Pylarm pellets are excellent in .22 BSA Standards.

I posted this in the BSA owners group pellet form. Figured it fits in well with this thread.


Hello all. I have just weighed about 20 Eley Wasp .22 pellets. I now know why I got such high results from chrono'ing them. They are no where near the weight listed in the data bases I have found!!

I measured 13.6 gains!! Which is significantly less than the 14.5 listed in most data bases. Have they changed or do I have a weird tin or something? I will also say they were all over the boards too, +/- 0.4 grains. This definitely confirms the terrible consistency I saw from both the chrono & paper groups.

Anybody else find similar results?
