I just looked it up and found that if I buy RWS hobby pellets I can get the .22 11 grain pellets for 3 1/2 cents each and the 7 grain .177 pellets cost me two cents each. So the .22 in that brand is almost twice as pricey no matter what the exchange rate.

That is one reason I am shooting the penny a pop pellets indoors. At 10 meters I am not good enough to tell the difference especially when even the cheap Beemans all go in the same hole.

One big factor I have to deal with is that air guns are still considered toys over here, which is one reason there are few restrictions on them. As such the gun shops ignore them and their ammo.

Most people buy cheap air guns from the discount stores and their ammo at the same place. Your choices are from Daisy or Crossman with sometimes one of the super duper hyper-speed offerings from Gamo that they use to get their blistering speed reading but have no use in the real world.

None of these pellets will give me any kind of acceptable accuracy. That is not just the result of one gun, but across my entire selection of rifles and pistols.

For that reason serious air gunners have to add a hefty shipping fee to the cost of their pellets if they want ammo from the quality air gun supporters. I usually wind up adding bulk purchases of pellets when I purchase other accessories and often "top off" a purchase with pellets if the company has free shipping for a minimum purchase.

Some of the shelves in my house sag a bit.
