Pellet tip

I noted a simple tip from a video staring Terry Doe. Roll a pellet between your fingers to quickly check for deformation.

I think with my callused finger tips and poor arms length vision that ain't going to to me too well. Heck like .177 it's hard enough to load a pellet head first ..

With me and my arthritic fingers, it's hard to load anything much smaller than .25cal! Just going to lead to .177's rolling on the ground!

Hmmm interesting....I check the skirt and then in it goes! I shoot the deformed ones too I just make a metal note if it ruins the group (usually does). If hunting I'll dig for a better pellet. Last time I shot .177 in the cold I'd have to check my fingers to see I was loading it straight and if i only had one bc it was pretty chilly out and I couldn't feel anything

i look at the skirt and call it.
i dont see many fliers with the jsb .30 cal but i do get a few with the jsb .22 25 gr

Primarily useful as a field target single loading final check.

That’s what I do. Really bad ones go to the trash, so-so ones I have a tin for not very serous plinking. Because there is a difference for serious target plinking , I guess for me there is.
