The new THUNDERBOLT pellets are made from ZINC instead of lead which makes them very light, but it also means when they are fired from a legal 12 ft pound air rifle they are going at over 1000 feet per second compared to the norm of around 800 FPs.

i use Defiant pellets and am very happy with them, but i was told by my gun club not to use Promethyus pellets cos they foul the barrel and you have to spend a lot of time cleaning out the bore.
