Title: Beeman pellets
Post by: Nvreloader on September 06, 2018, 12:21:08 PM
Guys
Question for you,

I just found a box full of OLD Beeman pellets from the early 70's,
I used these when I modded PB cases to shoot pellets from the 22 Hornet, 22 Jet, 221,222, 223 and 22-250 rifles/pistols,
for quite small game loads etc, when deer hunting.

I have to dust them off and see what weights/sizes are there.  ;D

Are these better pellets than available now a days?

As soon as I can shoot again, I'll test them in LL, they appear to be pure lead pellets.

Tia,
Don

Some might be collectible. I don't think the Silver pellets are available anymore.  Were any of yours made in Japan?
