Personally I prefer the harder hitting “thump” of a slower heavier pellet, but was just interesting to note they grouped well in my Gamo 👍🏻

You'll have to shoot accurate then as they will probly punch strait through and not impart much shock.
I'm not an alloy fan but if they work for you and your gun and you can bowl the little pesties over then all good.

I’ve tried the H&N greens, which actually grouped quite nicely in my Gamo CRF.
They grouped nicely enough that I would actually consider buying some for small pest control.
I don’t remember any loading issues with them.
Funny thing is they hardly deformed in the pellet trap, while the usual lead pellets get turned into smarties!

Tin 231 c
Iron 1538 c
Zinc 419 c
Bismuth 271
A Quick reconded these used in pellets
Probly differnt mixtures at at differnt rates for differnt brands
Not all in the same pellet. So gold melts higher than everything but iron.
Trufully I would never have guessed they may put iron in a pellet.

Zinc is about 440 not actually sure on tin but guessing it's low too.

Not sure what they would be made of. But at a guess i would say they probably have tin or zinc with it

Good on you for giving them a go. But in all reality I think it's probly just a gimmick.


Gold melts at 1063c alloy at 660c do the math :)

Alloy pellets are for target shooting at short distances. If its PB-free you want, sorry, its a dilemma I know. I use H&N copper coated pellets.

Also supersonic speeds with pellets are trouble. If you chrono at >1,000fps change to a heavier pellet to bring it below.
