I prefer either Promethius air bullets, they are an alloy bullet shaped pellet mounted in a nylon fixed sabot.

I also favour the higher quality of these Dynamic pellets

So watcha prefer yourself?

Defiant .22 pellets, all my rifles prefer the large size so thats good, only have to buy the one size, comes in boxes of 650, also got some pointed pellets which i bought before i came across Defiants, all kept in a wooden (single size) wine bottle with rope handles either end.
Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.

Bisley Magnum .22 for rabbiting and squirrel
Bisley Practice .22 (Flat Head) for pigeon and ratting

Promethius don't fly well for me. Accuracy over 20 meters is poor. Typical group 8 inches.
They also shred in the barrel leaving a yellow fuzz which clogs the barrel for other lead.
A few of the pest controllers I shoot with have tried them and the pellets seem to be choosy on what barrel they pass through.
Otherwise when they work they are great.

Anyone know where you can buy bulk air pellets at a discount?

I thought you would be more likely to buy your own pellet casting mold and a pile of old wheel balancing weights???
