Received my batch this morning. The quality of the pellets and the packaging is impressive considering where it's come from.  The Air Chief is going to get a workout tonight!

Can't see the air chief doing much but wasting good pellets. Still we live in hope.
Did read a 2022 artical that reckoned they would be making .22 pellets by end of year. Still find any but ppl advertise them.
Be keen to see what results ppl get from thier guns with them.

The issue is that Shooting Stuff caters very much for match shooters so even having the .177 dome / pointed pellets is quite a step away from their usual demand - .22 may be a step too far unless they had sufficient pre-orders

I have asked them to come back to me with the minimum order quantity they'd need to proceed.  They're very helpful as you said so I guess it's the best opportunity we have of getting our hands on some (if they're actually available of course).

Hardly - at $21 for a tin of 500?  Sure, you can buy a tin of 500 for $15-$17 but they really are a waste and do nothing but discourage their users, especially those starting out.

Kiwi, are all those tins the same? Two looked like they were black tins.

Id be keen to try out the domed ones in .177. What weights do they come in?
I wonder if the do sample packs?

I'm currently testing the H&N hunting pellet sample pack... Video to follow soon.

There's three different pellet types in the photo, domed, pointed and streamline.  The pointed were old stock on special, the others are new stock at $21 per tin of 500.  All three types are 8.48gr.

All viewable on https://www.shootingstuff.co.nz/

Contact Julie, she's very helpful.

I don't think they have sample packs.

Pete, I reckon they are worth trying. Especially for the S510.  I haven't shot them yet, although I received my 3 tins today, but have heard and seen only good things about them, and the quality at first look is very good.

I might have to take back my earlier comments about JSB pellets Embarrassed

Put some QYS pellets of the three different types through the Air Chief tonight with pretty unimpressive results which was disappointing, but probably not surprising, considering how bad the gun has been.  

However, I decided to put some JSB's through to finish off the night and produced my best result to date with the gun!  I'm pretty chuffed considering I'd gone back to a 1x32 red dot (Nikko Stirling this time) rather than the 4x32AO I had been using previously.

Some of the credit for this though comes from the improvement in my technique and use of a more solid rest.
