Has anyone used the new Prometheus Thunder Bolt pellet yet?

[Buster321c 1,010]

The ThUnderbolt pellets . I keep hearing about these new Thunderbolt pellets that will be with us soon.Rumours are that there could be a .177 at 5.0gr. That could mean if your gun is firing these at 11-5 flbs they could be topping 1017.62 fps, thats a fast pellet and the .22 in 10.1 grain said to shoot as flat as a .177. Apparently and of a New Zinc Mix that is manufactured to be More workable than Earlier Zinc's.They are currently being Sold via SMK Dealers Only As they asked for them - as needed a good pellet for their Springer Range. From what im hearing they will be about £11 a box , thats 400 in .22 and 500 in .177. I have spoken to SMK and im awaiting a list of local outlets who will be suppling the pellets , i`ll let you know the outcome as and when i get some , cheers Buster .

Just think how flat the 177 will flight at thous velocities. I wounder if the barrel will suffer damage(wear) because of the zinc pellet and what about ricochet.
