I use .177 pointed pellets with my hw45 when I am shooting vermin as they bounce around inside rats. I check my kills and find that even when I get a rat in the chest it ends up coming out in abdomen or other unexpected place. I just happen to have a whole tin of .22 pointed pellets left over from bunny shooting and I will see if the same happens but with the Falcon I suspect they will go right through them. I understand what you are saying though in respect to pointed pellets not having as much affect as straightforward pellets when you have high power.Better a pellet that causes internal damage than just a clean hole which could heal.
I managed to clear my blockage... I noticed that I could see the offending pellet and that's when i realised it was not stuck but floating in the breach area. Luckily the pointed pellet was jamming in the skirt of the original one and prevented me pushing it any further. I used tweezers to remove the breach seal, gave the gun a couple of shakes and it was out. Happy days. I will be more careful in future. I am just used to my Weihrauch HW100 which will not allow another pellet to load until the previous one has been fired. It was a ****** to get the breach seal back in as it's so big compared to the port and you're working semi blind but managed it on second attempt. The factory must have had a cone and plunger to help compress it and insert into the breach.
Thanks to you all for your help and advice.
I will be sorting out my other guns in the new year as have a couple of HW35's sitting around which have sat around for ages, so will need to make a decision to fix and keep or sell on.
Happy New Year to everyone
