...sorry to be so practical and correct but you are so darn short sighted trying to save a buck and not looking at the end goal or long term PERMANENT solution
Jeff let me correct you with the full story if you adress the above to me
Last year I wanted a learning curve, what amo my guns and a bunch of my liners likes and what not.
So I ordered over 20 tins in each weight in .22 from all Brands I could get to my hands. I cannot remember from how many stores I ordered these - and pay shipping, but I think I moved all the major suppliers in Canada because I was targeting specifics. Can you imagine the mistakes I have seen what some of them shipp to me and resend?
I shoot the volume through several weeks (2-3 days a week) at my gun club in distances between 20 and 50 meters also 100 meters.
I did not count them but lets talk 5-6-7 thousand shots only the pellets what I wanted to test, plus my established routine with .25 slugs (from Slovenia and US).
I made a competition grade shooting to myself, into target rings. Documented and pictured every card for my own archives.
Selected the 3 Brand/weights that worked the best @ 50 meters and 100 meters.
And ordered at least 10 tins of each for my stock.
The rest of the pellets that I didn't like it toke me over a year to plink away, probably couple thousand, I just got rid of all that. Some of these junkies ended up as weight in my tripod legs to make them heavier.
My usual volume is about 10K pellets and some 30% slugs, every year I was shooting in a club.
That is a lot of money for a postman as well.
Just my 2
