Aren't you technically unable to use a Pellet twice?
I get you, don't mind buying the good stuff for proper work but when it's just sending into old Junk seems a little daft using the good stuff for that, mind you the Daisy RR sort of already fills that role if you don't mind dodging the odd BB, Gun wise I do stay away from the cheapos now (unless its an oddball or for the reason its crap aka Gat) and would rather just save up and get a fixer upper thats more capable.
