Wanted: .22 lead free air rifle pellets

[Ben Bain]

Has anyone got any .22 lead free pellets I can buy off them? Looking for 10-15 to try before spending £20 on a tin to find out they don’t shoot well through my gun. BSA greenstar or H&N green ideally

Tried a few and never found a single one to shoot well. In fairness, what’s the point?

They don't shoot well and, more to the point, don't deform or upset at all if shot into a telephone book. They also shed velocity quickly.

Also tried a few a while back.I ended up giving them away in the end as I couldn't get any them to group at all.

My friend who's got himself all paranoid about lead, tried everything he could in .22&.25, ( fac) he's still shooting lead!!

If you contact the Wolfman he will sell you samples of all the ones they have stock of.
I found the H&N green actually work really well in my HW100. (Nearly as good as the JB RS which is its fave Pb pellet) others though not so good to awful from a group point of view.

I have a box of non lead pellets, shot out of both fac and sub12 air rifle. About as effective as a pebble on a tank, far too light and hard to impart any energy. Dreadful ricochets too.

I've tried a few lead-free pellets; they were a waste of time and money
