  1. No offense taken wobbly Bob 2 and Mice I appreciate the support, been shooting springers on and off over the years, got a huntsman classic 6 years ago which was my first venture into the world of pcps, jsb's or AADF were all it ever needed, same went for the s400 I had for 2 years, that was ridiculously accurate, once I get paper punching with a few different pellets I'll post the pictures on here for wobbly Bob 2 to scrutinize then await his request for some cheap pellets.
  2. Like your style, buy a new gun simply to use spare pellets up.
  3. Thanks for that info, like I said the RFD gave me them to try as he'd been told they weren't very good and could I try them through my gun and let him know how I got on. I was quite impressed with the accuracy around 30 yards but hadn't considered the bc, I'll be out on Saturday getting more pellets based on all the recommendations, again out of interest, what do the likes of yourself and others do with all the pellets that don't suit your guns? Reason I ask is if I only had one or two tins I'd just use them for plinking but I can see me ending up with quite a few and wondered if people sold/swapped them or divided them up to sell as pellet samples.
  4. Thanks for the advice, hopefully this weather turns for the better soon, we're surrounded by open fields so rarely have a proper still day to do any accurate testing but either way I'll post the results when I get chance. No I haven't pal, somebody posted earlier saying he had some gunk in his so I'll look into that as well.
  5. Thanks for that, the reason I asked was because I've been in to get some pellets and sometimes they only have 1 or 2 tins on the shelves of a particular brand. I know what you mean about certain manufacturers making pellets for several companies, weihrauch branded pellets are made by JSB and H&N. Thanks for that, knowing my luck the best pellet will be last of the batch . Trust me UltraStu if you saw some of my groups I would be wasting my time hunting , seriously though I haven't got permissions yet for air rifle hunting, just wanting to test my abilities to see what I and the gun can do, next will be to find a bit of land to paper punch to 50-55 yards with the chosen pellet and go from there. by the way I thought I was building up a collection of pellets with 5 tins, then I worked out you have at least 60! On a side note my RFD gave me these flatheads to try, not sure what is normally the max range for flats but at 33 yards I could cover 5 shots with a 5p coin.
  6. Thanks for that I'll buy a tin of those to try as well, have you now had to go back to testing again? Might sound a bit daft but how do you try and get pellets from the same 'good' batch?
  7. Funnily enough I've read a lot about buying in bulk from the same die and batch. If some people only shoot to 30 yards they'd say it's not fussy at all as most of the pellets grouped nicely at that range, however my garden stretches to 42 yards and that is when I get some rather varied results so I see where you're coming from. Out of interest were the AADF the 8.4s or express 7.9s?
  8. Thanks all for replying, looks like I may have to get pellet samples instead of full tins or it could get expensive very quickly! thought I'd tried enough but looks like I'll have to have more fun finding the ideal pellet.
  9. Read about a few recommendations for bis mags, I'll do a bit of reading on the barracudas thanks.
  10. Evening all, having recently acquired a HW100KS .177 I've had lots of fun pellet testing to see what performs best, so far I've tried Falcon Accuracy Plus, JSB express, JSB exacts 4.52s, JSB Heavies and H & N FTTs. At 30 yards with the express 7.9s I was getting the 'shotgun effect' whereas there wasn't much between the rest of them, at 40 yards the heavies started to pull away as the clearer winner at present. My question is are there any people still using RWS Superfields and have bought any recently? I watched a video where they grouped better than AA fields and JSBs but it was done about 7 years ago, normally I'd just go out and buy some but I've read mixed reports about quality/change of production etc hence my question, cheers.

    Lanber extractor

    Evening, I was wondering if anybody has a Lanber extractor for a non ejector? Basically an old cartridge after being fired lodged in the chamber, managed to poke it out but it took out the extractor with it, thanks.
  12. This is my point about open to interpretation UltraStu, it could be up to the landowner to prove all non lethal methods have failed before you get the call, the onus may not be on the shooter to prove it, nobody actually knows because nobody as far as I'm aware has been took to court over it.
  13. Am I the only one who's hoping a revised license could be a good thing? I.E. more clarification rather than open to interpretation? I see the organisations are getting a lot of stick again, has it dawned on some people yet that they simply don't carry much clout?
  14. That is a stunning picture.
  15. £625, I'm looking to get a HW100 air rifle so would consider a trade.

    S400 to HW100

    I'm interested in why you say that? Did you have a faulty hw100? Thanks, I'll more than likely ask to have a go with it first as my s400 is an accurate gun and want to see if I could get on with the HW100. I've heard about these A&M cylinders, do they really transform the handling that much?

    S400 to HW100

    That's what I initially enquired about UltraStu but he didn't have any of either, he mentioned the HW100 as another gun for myself.
  18. Could you not ask the seller to see what he was using? If not jsb's or aa fields are a good starting point.

    S400 to HW100

    I've never used one myself so wouldn't know about the weight, although not in the same league but my mate has bought a kral and I quite liked the side lever on that
