Buy a cheap crap pellet from a budget supplier and prepare to miss your target.

I've explained the difference between 0.22 and 0.177 before, so won't repeat it all, sufficient to say that competitions based on simulated hunting are all won with 0.177, in fact 0.22 are given their own class because they aren't competitive. I've hunted with both and now exclusively use 0.177 .

Hi Steve,

The pellets I use are from a reputable supplier and are bubble wrapped. The offending batch were part of a large quantity supplied together and it was only this tin that has such high levels of damage.

As I said, this is my first .177 calibre. It had not occurred to me that the pellets would be more delicate to handle than .22s But its obvious really.

This week I'm trying alternate pellets with the .177 I'm looking forward to greater accuracy and consistency.
