Rubber pellets

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 :D repeat as necessary :)

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 !

:lol: 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 :)
