Back in the '70's I'd have Marksmen, Milbro Caledonian & maybe some Wasps, all mixed up in the same pocket with a bit of fluff & some small change - it's amazing I hit anything really.
Yes, have similar memories of pockets of mixed pellets from those days, I think if I was really skint there would be Beatall(?) or Bulldog(?) pellets. And Webley's if I had some birthday money!
I also remember red plastic indoor pellets in .177 for use in smooth bores, which of course was what my tin grip Junior was.
