Yup - I shot my first round of the 6yd MPL Air Pistol with my 1970 (ish) HW70 with some equally old RWS Hobby pellets that were still in their original orange moulded plastic tin. These orange plastic "tins" were later replaced by the metal tins they come in today - but have had at least 2 different printed tin lid designs after the original plastic "tin" and before the current Hobby tin - although the pellet shape still looks the same?
I may well have "maxed-out" with what I can achieve with this HW70 and Hobby pellet combo, so I might try an ASI Centra or a Walther LP53 in the next round? Its all for fun and a great excuse for me to shoot some of my "oldies" that may not see the light of day without the excuse to shoot them in the MPL
Congratulations to Marboc - he is squeezing out some very nice scores with his Predom (a very close Polish copy of a Walther LP53). Good effort!
