deadeye ive Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 Looks like another gimmic for lads just starting out to waste their money on ........No matter what brand the best pellets for accuracy in a Airgun are DOMED shaped Ive No offence NTTF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 Lads on the www.talonownersgroup.com have been using these. I think it was something along the lines of OK out to 25 yards but they start to veer off at longer ranges They are a good design for maximum carnage and cause huge trauma wounds as they are supposed to mushroom perfectly. Other than that i can't really advise on them but take a look on the TOG and see if you can find the relevant post LG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurcherboy Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 Interesting that the bottom line in the test is the lack of penetration being due to the pellet deforming or transfering energy in the soap bar (1.77) It would require a true test to be really impressive NTTF. If that pellet shots a flat trajectory similar to a 1.77 and could be proved to flare out on arrival it would be a usefull bit of kit for a heavier quarry. Probably could for where you are as we are limited to what can be done legally I don't think we have use for them. Have you used them and if so are they more expensive than the others in the test?

stupidsalmon Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Under what circumstances can you effectively shoot and kill a beaver with one of these .177 pellets!!!! Would an FAC airgun be enough?? SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulboy Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 (edited) I have an old wooden box with some 30+ different types of pellets in tins,that i've collected since the mid 70's,every time i saw a "new" fantastic penetration,mushrooming,pellet i bought them - only to be dissapointed. Well 30 odd years of hunting has always led me back to the same conclusion - close range - soft lead flatheads - medium range and general purpose - domed head lead. Having said that i'll buy a tin of these and try them - a sucker me! Oh and i would'nt shoot a beaver with any kind of air rifle - and are'nt they a protected species?

new to the flock Posted March 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Not in Canada and the Usa...the beaver is a fur bearer at best a rodent at worst, and are harvested during regular game seasons....unless they are causing flooding damage and then they are harvested until controled. Now I agree I would not be useing these to harvest a beaver....find the rimmy works best for that. I did see awhile back a post of someone harvesting a member of the mountain goat faimly with some bazar caliber of air rifle. NTTF Soulboy let us know what you think of them.

Batmancaver Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 (edited) I must also be a sucker for a gimmick as I have a tin of these on order. (In fact due to a C**K up on behalf of the GPO losing my order the shop I bought them off is sending me two tins, one being FOC!) When I get them, I will let you know what they're like and if their crrp then I may start giving them away!

stupidsalmon Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 I cant imagine that they'd mushroom much atall with sub 12ft/lb airguns, so maybe they're design for those stupidly high powered FAC airguns? SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roblade Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 I cant imagine that they'd mushroom much atall with sub 12ft/lb airguns, so maybe they're design for those stupidly high powered FAC airguns?SS not true, have seen these down the club today, a long standing member managed to get a trail tin, and he can attest to the destructive powers, when used in a standard 12Flbs rifle. And this was from someone who was truly a doubting thomas! He left nothing to the imagination when he described the damage it did from his rifle to a rabits head at 20 yards!!!!!! They really did suprise the hell out of him! Though he did admit he wasnt too sure about the accuracy of them, but at 35 yards through a fenman they were grouping about 1" ROB :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdubya Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 I cant imagine that they'd mushroom much atall with sub 12ft/lb airguns, so maybe they're design for those stupidly high powered FAC airguns?SS The test report (link in a previous post) quotes an MV that equates to a sub 12ftlb gun and yes it "mushroomed" got to get a tin of these and have a look at the accuracy @ 30 and 40ftlbs if good enough I can see a field trial ensuing?? cheers KW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordeeb Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 (edited) These pellets cropped up in a link awhile ago on page 2 http://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/ind...topic=14173&hl= .A certain shop in Blackpool ran a trial of these results not good .In fact they get a mention on the shops home page :thumbs: . http://www.airgunbuyer.com/webnews.asp?ID=387 pity cause I would'nt have minded trying them myself Edited March 24, 2006 by Mordeeb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Master Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Hi, Perhaps a more accurate but still as destrucive pellet is in the pipeline from them because if they can get the accuracy they will be on to a winner. :thumbs: FM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
