Pedersoli is a respected maker the legality starts at the muzzle velocity...over 500 FPS requires a PAL.

.177 and .209 as the cap id stick to lead round ball gamo makes them the skirt on pellets will just end up being blown off

yes it requires a PAL and yes they are a repected maker I know that. was looking for someone who had one that could say yea it was a lot of fun or not it was junk. as for the skirt of the pellet being blown off do you have one and that's what happens?

nope but playing around with a similar idea a few years ago on what would have been a adapter for the martini henry to get trigger time in the winter .177 pellets did not do well with a .209 pushing them skirts got blown off and stuck in the barrel .177 lead shot did well (about B or BB sized lead shot for shotshell reloading) im guessing the blast of air from a pellet gun is not the same as a .209 maybe its the heat
