pellet carrier

[davyt63 1,845]

hi every one

this is an idea i had for keeping the skirt on the pellets from getting damaged

when out in the field as we all no damaged skirts leads to inaccuracy

 

 

some standard straws and a rolling tobacco filter

 

 

cut the straw to 70mm and a filter in half then load 10 pellets in to the straw for protection

using the filter at either end as a cushion

 

 

also it is a good count for how many pellets you have put through ready for a clean i cut 20 straws 10 pellets to a straw = 200 pellets then once they have been used i clean my AAS410 out .

your views appreciated and how you protect your pellets from skirt damage

regards

I only use a foam lined leather pouch and if I see deformed pellets then I just discard them. The pouch is very soft on the inside and obviously does not rattle like tins do. After all we spend loads of effort sneaking up on our quarry and if they hear the rattle of pellets in your tin then they'll be off

so in fact you could still get skirt damage ?if they are in direct contact with other pellets although you have a foam liner

Very true davyt63 that's why I liked your idea, (1) because it's easy to do and (2) because it's very inexpensive, seeing as a box of straws may cost 50p and a packet of filter could cost £1 up to £150.

With just that little investment you could protect thousands of pellets

Great idea that, one ill be using for sure

[brecon3 13]

also if you know many pellets in the tube then you can work out exactly how many pellets you got to work with insted of just a rough estimate
