    Pellets

    Im shortly going to upgrade my 50 yr old springer to something (.22 calibre) a bit more modern. I’ve been using 5.6mm pellets. Will these work in a modern barrel or should I go over to 5.5 mm pellets ?

    Quite possibly not ideal, but you don’t know until you try.
    Depending on what pellets they are, there may be interest on here for the vintage gun collectors (so things like 1920s Webleys and BSAs etc.) Or else invest in a pellet resizer if you fancy spending many hours doing that.

    If you can afford too, keep your old gun until you have tried the new one.
    You may not like it as much.

    Pellets

    I have had good results with the H&N FTT 14.66 gr 5.53 mm pellets in my HW95L .22.

    Then you’re keeping the pellets anyway, so try them. However I don’t think I could get a 5.6 Wasp in any of my Weihrauchs. Assumed by your online name you’re a bit of a BSA fan…
