Think you have the Wasp and the Defiant listed the wrong way round.
Quite nostalgic, that time when almost all pellets were short and squat, and things like the JSB on the right looked weird (though maybe - then - modern).
it's funny you say that...
Just went through the stockpile and measured the shortest contenders...
from left to right
H&N Defiant sniper light 5.4mm
Eley wasp 5.4mm
JSB Express 5.25mm
H&N Excite wadcutters 5.0mm
4.4mm copper coated ball
JSB Diabolo 8.4 for comparison (were getting scrunched) 6.2mm
So the expresses or the excites seem to be the winners Will try them in the gamos tomorrow

Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

Good spot mr K, now fixed.
Yup, with the .22 wasps it was even more pronounced that the .177s - they were like balls.

just tested the Paratrooper with the excites.. absolutely perfect, feed smoothly, and decent accuracy. And as a bonus, they are cheap too

and the G1200 likes them too, with surprisingly good accuracy and consistency.
Job done

Geco measure a breath under 5.5 if it helps.
Accupel/ Crossman premier are pretty short, remind me of old wasps.
