Title: Never seen these before?
Post by: the fuse on March 25, 2018, 11:29:39 AM
Anyone ever seen these pellets before? I bought a grab bag of pellets off AA and three cans of these were in there. In ten years I've never seen them and I can't find them on the web anywhere. Just wondering if this "rare" ammo is my ticket to early retirement.  ;D

 Been an airgunner , or shelf shopper since I was 6, and do not recall seeing them in 50 years, in a magazine or store in my local.
 Wait maybe a post a year ago in here  ???

Got some with a yard sale '89 880 in 2014. He said he bought the pellets and the 880 from WM at the same time, so that should give an idea of when these were current. Guy shot it a few times then stood the gun in the corner for the next ~25 years. There were about a dozen pellets gone from the vial- I suspect that's how much use the gun had on it when I bought it. Resealed it and swapped out the flexi pump arm for a stiffer current production arm and it shoots a treat. I never shot any of the pellets so no idea how they shoot.

They do a pretty good job of dispatching starlings Karen has knocked down one and I have taken two with these pellets in our D 717 pistol at about 15 feet.  8)
Thank you for the info Mark. I doubt Daisy dabbled in higher end hunting pellets for very long. 30 years old sounds right. all the pellets are oxidized on the lead.

Somebody had some on clearance a long time ago and bought a few cans.
Only shot a few of them.

Reminded me of loading Crosman Super Pells backwards with a BB  jammed in it.
