Just wondering if this will actually do something? $22.95. Think it will help with damaged pellets? Only 6 reviews on it so I didn't rush to buy one yet. Available in .25 as well.

I purchased this TTS sizer, it comes from England, very well made and you can choose different diameters. I also use the plunger to reshape bent pellet skirts. Very similar to the one you posted.

Ideally, a sizer will make all the pellets the same size, round out the skirts and make the pellets more uniform (except weight). When manufactured, the pellet's skirts are usually larger in diameter than the head by about 0.010 inch. This, I'm assuming is to ensure a good seal in the barrel. Sizing the skirt down to the same as the head is not such a good idea IMO. I've tried sizing a lot of pellets and don't feel any significant improvement. But your results may vary.

Thanks for the replies. I was thinking about getting one to see if it will help make the CHP's shoot a little better? With the JTS, so far I have had only one bent skirt. But then do I want to spend the time to try it on a Tin of 500 Cheapo"s?! lol

I have the same sizer as Ranchibi. It is very well made.
the sizer will help a damaged pellet fly better, but from what i have read and experienced, it will not make a good pellet fly better.

Normally, a bad pellet skirt will be "fixed" as it's pushed into the breach. Unless it's really...bad, then I just toss it into the waste can.
And since I'm not shooting for money, a pellet that may fly badly, don't care.
But, nice tool in any case, for those, 100%, 10 ring shooters.

Seems more of a slug sizer?
Only something like that I have used is the Theoben ( do believe it was made by TR ROBB ?) pellet sizer. When use correctly you still had a difference between head and skirt dia. .
Just looked to see if them even make them anymore and found this video (which I only glanced at)

The cheap, smart, easy way to "reshape" pellet skirts is by simply using the head (dome) of another pellet to flare out the skirt. Owning only guns with Original Smooth Twist barrels (FX) bent skirts are a non issue for me. They get reshaped on their way down the barrel.

Many years ago I sized all of my 22 ammunition. I was so into bullseye that every point counted. Then, somehow, I realized that it just did not matter. My scores went up. Your mileage may vary.

Can also use the end of a permanent marker to round the skirt back out. I personally keep my bent pellets to the side for chrony testing.
