1 person shooting big bore and zero roundballs ?
I have on hand around 25,000 in .177. I shoot 30-50 every day so I figure I'm set for a year or two. I hate shopping so when I see what I believe is a good deal, I buy a bunch. I have 1 of those old yellow plastic boxes of Sheridan .20 pellets (500) but no more Sheridan.
Nice balls Eddie... though why are they an odd color?

I never judge as long as they perform. Now an airgun that can sling some .454 rb's or .45 conicals would be interesting. Share ammo with some of my other lead dispensers.

Right now, although it's getting better, no real good way to rebuild the stash of good shooting .22's.GLAD I had that big stash of 5mm....am good. MAy not ever come back strong, so I'm NOT shooting the 5mm more than I use to when I could replace them.Not as large a stash of .25's....but I don't plink/practice much with .25's..177's came back faster....are a good number of good .177's to buy right now....so I've been doing all the back yard plinking, spinner, steelcritter, pesting, group shooting with .177's.WHY not? It's not like there is any real recoil to get use to....the .177 flips a spinner, flings a bottle cap, knocks down a FT, or clusters it shots at back yard ranges just as well.I admit that in my headlong rush away from bulkfill CO2 to ever-more power and PCPs, I did think long and hard about getting one in .25 (never had anything in .25 ever), but the abovementioned ammo shortages and shipping delays cured me of that right away. Maybe if and when things return to "normal"(?).

I don't have an airgun for them, but they sure hit hard from a slingshot!
