AADF pellet sizes

[dazzler]

Apologies if this is in the wrong place, can't find a dedicated pellet section.

I have tins of these pellets, but all the tins state 4.5mm, yet I have been informed today that different sizes are available. i.e.4.51 - 4.52.

Is this so, and if it is, why isn't this marked on the tins? Or is it, and I have just bought the 4.50 size?

Thanks for your help,

A very confused Bobby.

Its a generic tin for all sizes. The sizes are on a label on the bottom of the tin,

Cheers BBF.

I'm a complete lunatic. Check the bottom of the tin, and there is the info.

Thanks again

Just remember to put the top on first

Just be aware that the sizes labeled (4.51 / 4.52 etc) in reality do not in any measurable way relate to the actual sizes in said tin!. Be that maximum size, minimum size, spread of sizes or proportion of a specific size!.
I am not alone in having spent time on the analysis and all whom have done so report the same findings (analysis on my part limited to AA & JSB brands but, given the process of manufacturing I cannot believe any others to be different).
The only worthwhile reference in trying to find and subsequently repurchase a good batch for your individual gun is to use the batch number in its entirety (including the year).
Have fun
