    The 9.5 grain Exterminators were an outstanding pellet. The very first UK HFT championship was won by Tony de Cross? using them in a BSA SuperTen. The FAC HFT championsip was also won by a SuperTen prepared by Bowkett but I dont know what pellet was used. It was in .22".

    If Bob's still around you might be able to contact him via Lea Valley club, he's a great guy who will do anything to promote air rifle shooting.

    Sadly Bob died last year - he was a great character (as was his van with knackered suspension due to all the weight of pellets and other stuff he used to lug about in it). RIP Bob.

    he worked with them, but uncertain of the formalities...

    RIP Bob.. He did a lot to promote our sport.
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    I'll echo this - he used to sell the Pax Phoenix rifles and had something to do with the company, but I am not exactly sure what. He was also involved with the company that manufactured Defiant pellets, but again I am not exactly sure of his relationship to it.
