    Budget Pellets are Crap and warrant a rant

    Here is a great place to say negative stuff about cheap pellets, if you have nothing constructive or helpful to post re what budget pellets might be worth shooting !!

    TBH saying brand x are crap is irrelevant.
    Brand x may give a single hole group in one rifle but group like a shotgun in another.
    Can't beat matching a pellet to your own rifle, even a different head size in the same brand may give different results.

    And pellets are like clothes. In Marks and Spencer a 36” waist is different to a Matalan 36” waist.
    My German guns all like AA Diablo Field 4.52. They fit nicely. So since people here rave about H&N FTT, I bought some of them in 4.52. Same head size, practically had to force them into the breech, and grouped like a shotgun. I suppose AA 4.52 is H&N 4.51 or 4.50, but I didn’t try any further experimentation.

    Eley wasps. They are crap. They used to be great, but as we know they changed hands...
    Last 2 tins I tried, 1 tin had holes clean through the head, the other tin the skirts were all over the place like they'd been crushed before putting in the tin.
    Also accupels used to be great when crossman made them, since Webley took them on they aren't near the same
