Bisley Bullets

[Tron 173]

I used to shoot them in a pokey .22 Feinwerk Sport in the 70 and ,s it was a very flat shooting accurate pellet if your gun had a choked barrel I remember it wasent as good in Bsa or webley barrels.

That is odd seeing as the BSA barrel is choked....

No Mr Mole, the era I am quoting is the 70,s and ,s in those days the british .22 calibre was bigger 5.6 m/m than the 5.5m/m German rifles plus I dont think BSA barrels was choked in that time period.

I thought they had always been choked! Could be me, but I think they have been choked for a long time, readeth here...

Wellfound, I can only quote my own experience from the 1950,s onwards, certainly .22 British barrels were 5.6 in those ealy days and the most acurate pellets used to be Eley Wasp 5.56 and some of the other brit pellets. the Mercury and other BSA rifles I had in those times didnt like the .22 Hobby and some of the other German pellets I remember trying to push 5.56 Wasp pellets into a FWB .22 Sport I had in that time and it was so tight I used to use a 2"" nail to seat the pellet cos my thumb was so sore!

I used to use bisley bullets in my sharp ace pump up .22, they were accurate in that rifle , but just like this thread, not seen for years.

Tron are you by any chance typing your post using a 'Chromebook' because every time you type eighty, you are getting a symbol.  I use one all the time and the symbol I get when I type  .  I just typed eighty, drives me bloody mad.

Carry on men, just me having a quiet moment  (I didn't type 8+0 then)
