Title: Sorting to find larger pellets
Post by: RCO on September 19, 2023, 03:29:26 PM
I have two Hatsan rifles that like 5.53 pellets. Other than the loose barrels I have no complaints.

I have to order H&N TT pellets in the 5.53 size because I have no local stores that sell these pellets.  When I buy Crosman pellets I noticed that there are oversized pellets in the tins as the head sizes vary. I'd like to sort out the larger pellets and use them in the Hatsans. I can use the rest in my other guns.

Is there is a good way to sort them out besides measuring each one with a mic or buying a $55 pelletgage?

I have the pellet gage and it has saved me a lot of time sorting out the small, bent, deformed pellets, especially when I am casting. They do make one now in different head sizes. I own sizes from .177 to .357. I didn't balk at the price for the fact that it would save me a lot of time sorting  them one by one. This is my experience in sorting pellets, some of the other members may have different ways of sorting pellets.

Some one made a head size gauge by rolling pellets down a slanted board with partitions on one edge, the different head sizes would roll into different partitions.

As far as I know, rolling pellets is comparing pellet head size to pellet skirt size.

Thank you.
