Product Information

Now you can have it with the ComBrella shade that can hold a Combro chrony and connects with a bayonet to the barrel weight, keeping the chrony on its place, aligned with the barrel and protecting it from the sunlight. Shoot a 20-shot group of sized pellets and another 20-shot group of unsized pellets at the same distance. You really should shoot at 20 yards or more to see a significant difference, although at 10 yards you can sometimes notice a difference if the number of shots is high enough. Some brands of pellets will let you choose what size of skirt the pellets have. This will be displayed as 0.01 differences in the calibre, for example .177 pellets will be marked as 4.51, 4.52, 4.53, etc. The idea behind this is the wider the skirt, the better the seal behind the pellet. This provides a greater pressure behind the pellet forcing it out at greater speed and therefore improving accuracy.

This simple shade can be snapped onto the Chrony and gives an effective shade for the light sensors. shaving small amount of the skirt to force the pell out of the other end of a sizer, could only work if……. Because these pellets are some of the most popular designs available, there loads of different pellets to choose from by many different brands such as Air Arms, JSB and ProShot. Pointed Pellet sizing was hot in the 1970s, when pellets weren’t as uniform as they are today. I own a sizer and I’ve used it to compare the accuracy of sized pellets against unsized pellets from the same tin. I have never seen a difference in accuracy, but I have heard of one reason for sizing that might make sense for some shooters. I’ll get to it at the end of this post. Comfortable handle for the loading port of Feinwerkbau P70 rifles. Replaces the original ugly white handle with a much better one. In R/H and L/H versions, made of laser sintered Nylon with stainless steel screws.The more you use the sizer then the more skilled you will become in using and feeling what is correct.

Precision turned in the UK from stainless steel, these pellets sizers force the pellet through a reamed taper, ensuring every pellet is exactly the same size, reducing group sizes and eliminating “flyers” in the field. Needless to say, the sizer will only reduce pellet size. Putting 4.51mm pellets through a 4.53mm sizer will have no effect. Tip out the pellets, removing any bits clinging to the pellets themselves. Place a small amount — say 200 .22 calibre or 300 .177 calibre — into a freezer bag and add 50ml of warm water and two drops of washing-up liquid.Looking at the T.R.Robb it appears to be the exact same tool as the old theoben ( .177) pellet sizer I had. It was a reliable asset. Napier also suggests adding a few drops to a tin of pellets and agitating them. I tested some differing styles of .177 and .22 pellets — here are the results. Velocity/ Energy So i made my own . mine have 3 parts on the right the sizer the middle is the guide . and on the left the skirt probe shaper . Some shooters use a penny on their thumbs to help load solid pellets. I don’t know for certain that sizing will help, but I was told that it does by a gentleman who also shoots a Talon SS. The late Don Nygord, world champion air pistol shooter in the 1980s, once wrote that he could not see any difference between sized and unsized pellets. Don sold target airguns and pellets to shooters for many years and perhaps had the opportunity to test this theory more than many people in his quest for perfection.

These pellets are not going to be that suitable for pest control or anything at long range but for the money I think they make a welcome addition to anyone’s arsenal and save you wasting you more expensive pellets when zeroing up. Other flatheads to consider : RWS Hobby, H&N Finale Match Light , RWS R10 Match Recommended: Crosman Piranha Clean your barrel once with JB Bore Compound and then do not clean it again. Never oil it – just shoot it. So the next I decided to use the 4.53 pellet sizer and was pleasantly surprised. The 4.53 sized group was considerably better than the 4.54 unsized group There are also larger calibres available, such as .25 and .303, but in my opinion these are only really worth bothering with if you’re shooting an FAC rifle that is over 12ft/lbs, as the extra mass of the pellet requires more force to push it. These larger pellets are designed for hunting at long ranges and can provide devastating power at the 20-30ft/b range.An alternative heavy pellet would be the Eun Jin pellet that weighs 28 grains. But I think even that is too heavy for the power of a Talon SS unless you use the optional 24-inch barrel. Then the rifle will get the heavy pellet up to speed for best accuracy. The plastic/metal tipped pellets suffer from similar problems to the pointed, in that any slight variation to the way the tip is seated can drastically effect accuracy. For this reason I would personally avoid them for anything other than close range dispatching. Hollow points are more useful for pest control, but you will still find the accuracy dropping off after around 25 metres in most guns. This is simply due to the fact that the shape of the hollowpoint affects the way the air flows around the pellet. The ‘Skirt’ the pellet could be placed in exactly the same angle every time and the pressure curve applied in exactly the same way every time.
