Air Arms do it again!


Recommended Posts


I was reading on daystate owners forum that the skirts are just to be fussy etc and doesn't really matter and quoted from some top shooter, I can't recall his name ..but pointed out that unless the head is damaged he doesn't bin the pellet , soft pellets skirts will puff out once the pressure from the gun is released behind it...sort of makes sense though doesn't it? I don't know what you lot call damaged..could be diff to me, but all the pellets I used to throw I now shoot unless the skirt is completely flat obviously Lol

I get AA Fields (.22) from BAR 15 tins with no problem, they arrive well packaged. The same with JSB's only more tins. My shooting buddy got some AA's from Sportsman, and half the tin was rubbish, i think it's a lot to do with what happens in transit, :whistling:

Crossman make Accupel. I like the RWS superdome if you can get them. I find the crossman pellets are very hard, and hence don't damage as easily as the softer pellets. Also the AA pellets have a thin skirt. The thin, soft skirt will obturate more readily when pressure is applied, forming a better seal with the barrel and in theory at least giving better velocity and stabilisation.

 

A deformed pellet is unlikely to allow pressure to build up sufficiently to allow the pellet to be pushed into the grooves of the rifling, and so is likely to shoot to a different, and unpredictable, point of impact.

i have 2 tins of aa at the min

 

on the sticker under one tin it says

14 ... 7.9.2011 .. 4,52 s0 00

 

other tin

17 ... 28.07.2010 ..4,51 s0 76

 

im guessing this relates to batch number, date produced, head size and then some other serial number thing

 

 

the picture of the pellets on front of the tin where it says diabolo field-- on the 4,52 tin looks brighter i dont know if this makes a difference but what i will say is

 

the 4,51's had 1 out of 20 pellets (randomly picked) that was ever so slightly bent skirt.. whereas the 4,52 had 14/20 really bent ones o.O

 

godknows!!! haha
