What was scary though (as well as the well dodgy finish I commented on a few weeks ago) was that some of them dropped deep into the bore, like there was about 3mm of bore showing after the pellet skirt ended. Others needed a right old shove in they were that tight and we're still trying their hardest to stand proud.
Afternoon, just catching up on the last couple of days Boinging

I find that pellets drop quite a way into the breech of my .22 Mk1 Vulcan

Unfortunately I haven't got any old Wasp / Pylarms, or 5.6mm pellets to try in it.

Thinking back to my early days of Boinging when I had a Mk3 Wobbly Hawk, the only pellets that were a reasonable fit in the breech were H&N Pointed that needed a gentle push, and RWS Squirrel brand; remember them in a green tin?
Like Hobbys, but a bit heavier.

Most of the various English pellets all dropped loosely into the breech, with Marksman probably being the least consistent
