Magnum sports allways been a really good shop and new owners have continued with that and made it evan better particually for airguns,i go back long way with previous owner.i used to manufacture hard cast and swaged lead and jacketed bullets for many years and made quite a few for the previous owner years ago for his 444 marlin rifle and proberly other calibers as well but cant remember as proberly made millions of bullets for lot of people Dave included.good to see new owners now stocking a good range of airgun pellets and being prepared to listen to airgun shooters and then get pellets we ask for,cant beat good local busseness, for service and stratford exceptional for this as a town.
 cheers mike

Definitely a .22 fan, nothing scientific, sound is not as harsh leaving the barrel and solid thump when hitting at closer ranges.

Welcome. It’s great to have you on board. Neat place Stratford. If you’re interested you have the Taranaki Air Rifle Club that shoots in Eltham.
https://taranakiairrifleclub.blogspot.com/
Their web page seems to be a bit out of date but I know that they continue to shoot most Saturday mornings.

Hello, since you own all 4 calibre's (I am after a .30 at some stage). What is your Caliber of choice as the best all rounder? I've got a packet of the apolo in .25 but haven't done much shooting yet with them.

Appreciate the welcome.
Yes the .25 and .30 calibre choice often seems to be based on availability.

.30 - I settled on JSB Match 2.9 gramme and the 3.25 gramme option is always on stock locally.
.25 - I recently changed to Apolo Domed 1.6 gramme from Argentina with JSB and Gamo options also readily available in Stratford.

Hello and welcome,
 Also seasons greetings.
It's pretty quiet here recently, but the odd thread pops up with a conversation. You seem to have a nice wee collection of rifles. I came here after buying just one, to replace an old broken one, just a wee .25cal. I did think about the .30, but seems to be very limited ammo available for that calibre. The .25 doesn't have a huge selection either really. 
   There's a few very technically savvy people on here, it's worth hanging round.
