    I dont think they make the Match pellets. Pretty sure they are re-labelled H&N. Have a look on the tin label.

    Don't think 'proper' Wasps have been made for yonks...there was a remake, in a very similar tin, a few years back. Which were rubbish, bought some in both .22 & .177, lots of swarf & misshapes. Might have been another re brand since, but find H&N/FTTs etc fine for my use.

    I was lucky to be given some a while back, my Webley Falcon loves them but eventually I've got to find an affordable replacement as the new ones aren't the same and NOS is not always easy to get or cheap.

    I've still got some Wasps. Did some chronoing with my standard BSA Mercury Challenger a month or two ago. 11.6 with Daystate Soverign, 11.2 with AA field and 13.2 with Wasps! They've probably got the weight wrong!
