Hey everyone, just a quick one.... ish. I have a bsa lightning 11.5 ft/lb at factory set about 3 years ago so dunno what it's running now probably about 9/10 I imagine anyhow I'm using these pellets whilst out last night I shot two pigeons one died in a few flaps and one flew off in a poof of its own feathers (obviously super pigeon) I has the pigeon for dinner tonight and managed to find the pellet as you can see I could probably fire it again this has happened with head shots on rabbits aswell. Am I right in thinking that like a normal round you want it to cause as much trauma as possible instead of a clean through and through for example?

try a lighter softer pellet .that pellet looks like it grips your rifling the lead may hard slowing down your pellet loosing power .falcon accuracy plus pellets may help soft and light .

Okay I'll look into it and see if there's any difference.

Hi guys sorry for the delayed reply took advantage of the nice ish weather and go some work done in the garden the few days. Thanks for the offer Craig but I like to rattle of a100 shots after I zero just to get used to them and see how much they drop and different ranges and winds so I think I'll just be better off buying a whole new tin. I used to use some AA Diablos but at 13 quid a tin got rather expensive!

if you can hit the head on any quarry pellet choice is meaningless mate I find woodies drop stone dead if hit in centre of back [if you cant get a clear head shot] -I use accupels .22
