Everything else seems to be getting more high-tech, so it should be no surprise that air rifle ammo is going the same way.
H&N has a new pellet called the Hornet that features a tiny brass penetrator housed in a traditional lead body. The brass insert is very sharp.
(the tin on the left is also new, but not high-tech so i didnt make notes on it. Just a heavy pellet, at 16 grains)
Gamo also has a two-part pellet called the Lethal. However their model is has a blunt steel alloy core within a polymer skirt. It is lighter than the standard lead .177 pellet, at 5.56 grains each. Gamo claims it will pierce a steel sheet of 0.06", or 1.5mm
They do not say at what velocity, though.
