Hi,
Thanks for the AI dredge up of info. Had not gone there myself so you have done it for me. As I said it's a bit new to me, but they make some the best lead shot for shotshell ammunition and widely used in Europe. Pellets are just an offshoot of their core business being that it is lead based. It's what they do. I can find out more. I will ask if they make any other products. Are the slugs in regard to hunting, ie larger than .22? I am looking forward to trying them too, I have 1300 tins coming across the range, only big tins as they are better value in my opinion.

Ive spent a lot of time refining the way gpt works with me.
Which is why it probly mentioned diana guns. The Turkish web site itself isnt to bad. Signed up the other day to have a look. Gpt started asking for me get head diameter consistency, skirt sizes, damaged pellets per tin,skirt wall thickness, how well they loaded and grouped etc so it could do an evaluation against other brands of same wieght and type etc. Crazy really but thats the sort of thing it excells at. Comparing factual data. Can do research and cover multiple sites in multiple countries in the time it takes me to go through one. Still it has limits and can't access some sites and reviews. H&n barricuda 18, jsb jumbo heavy and the skypellets heavy dome all in ,22 will be an interesting comparison to run. All same wieght and should be about same size. If you want when you get them id be keen to swap a hundred jsb and tin for h&n 18 ( diana dont like the 18 and i brought two tins, jsb im stocked up on) for a hundred skypellets so i can run comparison tests on them and you can do likewise. Im a dome pellet person. Don't think pointed are worth it as they get point damage and don't seem to improve anything accuracy wise. Extra Penitration is not something i want either. Pellets dump little enough energy without a point to help them dump less. Things like hollow points or those designed to expand are usually pretty useless in a springer as they dont have power to expand them in flesh. Pcp is a different story but then slug preformance way outstrips pellet expansion and bc. Id use the ai comments as things to look out for, not an expatiation as i never asked for dates of articals and usually things like that often are people complaining as they test a new brand. But if you find it accurate that says something about the qc being they have a few few years under thier belt now. Edited by kruzaroad - 1 hour 32 minutes ago at 12:28pm |

I'm also keen to have a look at skypellets in .177, .22 and .30. Stoeger X-Hunt pointed pellets were the best pellet I tried in my Gamo gas ram, closely followed by Webley Accupell which are domed. Both Rifle and Gamo pointed pellets were rubbish in this gun. So far Accupells are the best I've tried in my Diana, though I've just bought a tin of Stoegers to try. So far I've not tried any heavy pellets in my Diana with everything tried so far being in the 14-16gr range. JSB Exacts are the best Ive found for my .177 BSA Super Meteor but I do have some Accupell, H&N FTT and Stoeger X-Hunt pellets I've not really tested yet. Edited by -Ec - 40 minutes ago at 1:13pm |
