I have 8 tins of the new rubber pellets that can be reused. They are made of a silicon that contains tungsten particles. These are in .177 only and are very good to 40 yards which is ideal for paper punching. At £12.75 a tin they are not cheap but they can be used for 4 or 5 time depending on your power setting. A large heavy clothed back stop is all that you need to catch them.
Postage is included in the price.
Raj and Brian I have saved you as requested

I tried these last year but my barrel didn't like them, I'll give them a miss this year thanks all the same.

That's because you cleaned your barrel with cooked spaghetti . You should use it hard with a touch of vasaline

here`s a tip on removing spaghetti residue......cut some strips of heavy duty sandpaper roll them up into a tight tube and slide them into the barrel and shoot them through.....ta da spaghetti residue removed

repeat as necessary

400 grit should do it

I've just tried the 400 grit and have ended up with 400 pin holes on the paper target but the paper that the grit was on is still up the barrel !

then I would use rays idea of pushing long strands of dry spaghetti down the barrel too remove the paper if that fails just order a new barrel off julian
