kevin at pa says that h & n were having trouble with 22 ftt/fts pellet dies and are in process of rebuilding or replacing them. he did not have regular lead pellets in either ftt or fts as of 4/19/11 he did however have beeman fts copper coated at that time. I got 4 tins, cost me more for the beeman name. but, I have just under 800 rounds on hand. he had no idea as to how long it would take h & n to get back up to speed delivering the 22 pellet. also, I see no difference in accuracy with the copper coating except tighter barrel fit in my beeman kodiak 22. hope this answers some questions. pa no longer has the buy 3 get one free tins of pellets for quite some time per kevin.
