pie-eater 377 Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 I've started using hex nuts instead of 1/2 steel, I'm finding them more accurate I think its probably because of better release. Cheapest I've seen them online so far is toolstation £2.26 for 100, is there anywhere cheaper? Anyone fill them with lead or is it not worth the bother? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Wilkes 3,013 Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 I got mine from wilkos, I found em good at short range but they veered off target at greater distances Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 377 Posted October 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 Cheers Mr Wilkes, when you say short range are they ok out to about 20yds? I've just been smashing cans at about 10yds with them so far. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

the monkey 338 Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 Wilkes is the place to go for hex nuts. I like them for short range. They drop off after 20 yards. But up to 20 yards there accurate 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just been looking on toolstation and for m5 hex nuts they were 64p for a 100 pack. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
