    I had my Supersport .25 breech modified to accept H&N FTTs perfectly. An excellent job done by Airmasters. I went on to write an article about it which was published in Airgun Shooter magazine.

    notwithstanding the measurement disparity (batches do vary, and soft skirts are hard to measure consistently), I think the key with marksman is the skirt is thin, and the lead is soft. So regardless of size, they are much easier to shove into a tight bore, and more likely to expand into a larger bore. As stated, they are also an excellent weight for sub 12, which combined with the softness gives good efficiency. As a bonus they are dirt cheap, so pretty well the perfect vintage .25 for plinking
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
