English Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 I generally shoot .177 I airguns, this pellet looks like the H&N "Silhouette" which was heavy .177 - not sure if they made them in .22 - they look tidy and uniform. I believe the H&N Silhouette is now discontinued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 Nice gift and worth keeping, coat them in patination fluid to slow the oxidation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
