The lightweights are Defiants Ray, I looked them up on the H&N website earlier. Not sure if they're going to offer the different headsizes as PAX did?

Hi Tim,
I know what they are but was wondering just what the reception to them would be. Hugh Earl was a bit of a renegade within the Trade and perhaps his pellets didn't get the popularity they should have had.

Now it's H&N the reception may be different.

I got my best groups ever with medium Defiants but couldn't replicate results in competition for whatever reason. I put it down to their reaction to the wind, more than likely to have been me though.
Have to try again :lol: (Harder)

I've used Defiants in both .177 and .22 and once each gun settles down to them and getting the right size they are amazing. Windy condition plays some effect as well. We have many at the club using them to shattering effect.

I might give them another go, I like the feel of lighter pellets in the PS but haven't found anything to match the AA Fields in 4.52 for accuracy.
Duncan uses them in his TX I think?

Thier Defiant HFT's are worth a go as well.

Searching my "Pellet drawer" :shock:

Well found some Defiants in medium and large.
Also found some of the FT ones at 8.5grains :D

Will do a bit of testing when I get the chance.
