Simple Pellet carriers

[greenhout]

I posted this on the WOC a while ago. I have had a lot of help from this forum so thought it might be of interest here.

I have an HW100 in 0.22, which comes with two 14 pellet magazines. Normally that is plenty for a night out, pretty much one shot one kill, but I am always worried I might need more pellets. I know, wishful thinking (or bad shooting!). So I was trying to find some sort of pellet carrier that does not rattle or damage the pellet skirts. I found some like that little round leather one, but expensive and little else available. So this is what I came up with a couple of bic 'velocity' biros. Unscrewed the top, removed the ink and nib thing. I can slide 14 pellets into each (Crosman premier ultra magnums). The red are normal round end and the blue hollow tipped. The pens slide beautifully into the pen pockets of my camo jacket and the cap keeps them in place and upright. No damage , no counting, no rattling, no tarnishing and no fluff. There has got to be pens for all pellets somewhere!I am having trouble uploading a photo, says file size is too big, but it's not so here's a link.

I came up with the same idea a couple of years ago and posted it on the Daystate owners forum-standard Bic pen holds .177 pellets and with a nip from a pair of wire cutters the nib can be used to seat the pellet in the older style magazines.

I do like the idea, especially for .177, which have more vulnerable skirts. The thing I've never been able to crack is how to release them one by one, or do you just let them slip out?

Just unscrew the end, tip and take one out. In a PCP like my hw100, pour into palm and load the may.
