The Aa Field Pellets

[bugg 84]

Good morning, has anyone else had the displeasure of using the air arms field pellets? I was disappointed with them as soon as I opened the tin, so far iv rejected about 50 of them and shot about a hundred and threw the rest away, if they are not misshapen they have really sharp edges.... Now air arms were well up in there in my favourite manufactures list as I have an s410 and love it,I thought ,maybe it was just that particular tin so I opened the other one and exactly the same, anyone else found this? I'm of out now for a quick lamping session but the jsb will be filling my pellet pouch this morning

I bought two tins and apart from the price I'm very happy with them they suit my air arms s300

All these pellets that you've "dismissed and thrown away" try putting them in a tin and use them for plinking at targets you might be pleasantly surprised, failing that just use them when your using the crono where accuracy isn't needed

Ps just bought three tins myself

I think most JSB pellets are fertilizer! I have had some so deformed in the tin that they cannot be loaded (AA Field and JSB own brand). I went through three tins of AA Fields, bought from different shops, different batches, all had at least 10-15% which were only suitable for conversion to fishing weights, one tin was 30% unusable. I will never buy another JSB made pellet again!

The skirts on the AAF are a bit thin and do bend fairly easy. Understandable if your throwing a few in your pocket but a poor do when you open a brand new tin and find loads miss formed.

There have been lads on here in the past who have found over a third of a new tin with bent skirts.

 

I find them very accurate and consistent in both sub 12 and FAC.

Although I have just changed to the jsb's.

i did the same thing, chucked half a tin away, then the second tin i thought sod use um.. ermmm they all hit lol!! only the extremely bad ones were pap, but you'll be suprised hoe well they work with the lirrle dints in them.

The finish on the AA items is terrible as above throwing away 10-15% away with the skirts damaged they are made in the same Czech factory as Jsb exacts and can only think that the AA are rejects no problems using the Exacts tho...

 

Is this a ploy to undermine AA good reputation??

 

Think they need to consider making there stuff elsewhere when the price is almost identical to the Jsb - European union marvellous aint it...

the price has nothing to do with it....its the power strugle and bull that backs it up that counts...apparently.

Ive just changed to AA`s from RWS superfields . Very good in my 177 , cant fault em if im honest

[David.evans 5,323]

AA in the air wolf, some of the skirts do need looking at , but no more than any other pellet including jsb exact

The same with bis mags , all in 177 , in all cases about 5 percent rubbish , but as phl says still good for plinking

[andy97 209]

the newer aa field have stronger skirts than the old ones if anyone has an olde tin have a look and compare and youll see the difference you still get the odd one but nowere near as many as you did

so what your saying is that you don't wash, weigh and crack out the verniers. Lol

Read about it once in a air gun mag tried it once saw no difference and neither did the rabbits so never did it again when you pick them up you can feel any badly miss shaped ones i just drop them back in the pocket and pick another one.

 

 

See when im taking the skins out the ferret hutches the odd pellet you stuck in the hides see looks fine so they cant that badly miss shaped
