Can you buy different pellet sizers so a tin of pellets can be sized up to 5.56 for vintage air guns or sized down etc.

I haven't ever had the need, but these might be well worth a look? Available in different sizes.

Sorry folks; I'm not sure if that link is working correctly?
The link is to the Tinbum Tuning site where he offers a range of sizers in different sizes.

The pellet sizes given on the tin and the actual measured dimensions of the pellets therein, have a very dubious relationship.
Walther CP-2 Match, FAS 604 & Tau 7 target pistols, Smith & Wesson 6" & 4" co2 pistol, Crosman 1377,
Baikal IZH 53 pistol, Gamo CFX Royal,177, Umarex SA-10 CO2 pistol.
You are correct what you say, but beware that if you are buying any JSB made pellet (inc. AA pellets) the size on the tin has no relationship to the pellets in it. It is a marketing ploy.
I have measured lots of JSB and AA pellets and they are very rarely what the head size on the tin says.

Would be all very well recommending different brands of pellets because as already mentioned particularly with JSBs the head sizes on the tin refer to the die rather than what's in it.
Are you sure it's the choke and not clipping?
Re=sizing may help with fine tuning, but the problem will always be the choke.
Options would vary from getting the choke polished out (slow and time consuming) to getting it chopped.
I've had two FACs a Superten and a Rapid with tight chokes, the Rapid was 5.39mm in the grooves of the choke .
Both shot very well with Crossman Premiers and latterly Logun Penetrators, two pellets made from a harder lead alloy and skirts with smaller contact area that didn't shred in the choke.
Offchance its simply a case of finding a pellet but I think these are basically Loguns...if they are in stock

First pic a '5.51' Exact and the offending choke
Just wondered how much does a choke reduces velocity, having an affect on accuracy.
