BOYCOTT Substandard Ammo !!!

I'm with Cone, WTF
It sounds like you went and bought a benjamin break barrel, couldn't get your rebate, now I assume your having trouble shooting it, or rather hitting your target, so you feel the need to come tell all of us not to buy Benjamin break barrels because you had a problem with cabela's . I imagine your having a hard time hitting your target so you are now blaming your ammo??? You are spending to much on pellets? We all know pellets are cheaper than powder burner ammo. What are you going to tell us to boycott next? What ever cell phone you are using to randomly vagly rant about what ever, and the phone is to slow or some thing?

You know, I am only a casual visitor to this site and I generally stay out of flame wars or trolling comments but I would like to point out to the OP that he is creating his own problems.

I clicked on this thinking to get some FACTS on a particular brand, caliber, weight and if pertinent, what airgun it was being shot out of.

Instead what I got was nothing but indeterminate rage and a waste of my time (slow connection speeds in rural America... but you should see what it is in Asia or Europe - we ARE being ripped off) and a waste of my valuable data usage. You can be sure if I see this person posting again I shall just "Move on, Nothing to see here"

And I have not checked the Follow-up box on this one either.

JON222 kindly state in a factual manner just what pellets ( by name ) and exact model and type of rifle/pistol you are using. while your statement indicates you are dissatisfied with some or all pellets and prices it tells us nothing about which pellets and what air gun you are using. I shoot three diana's mdls 27,34, and an AMO8 ; I have a airforce arms talon ss and an impact plus a Bobcat. I shoot JSB, Crosman, and Benjamin pellets. in .177 , .22 , and .25. each pellet has been chosen by trial and error based on the information I gather here on the forum. In my guns they work quite well. Your statement is unclear and no reasons are given as to why you are unhappy you seem to sight cost, "dirtyness" and some unstated factor which causes you to find them unsatisfactory. Bluntly your statement is being called a rant because it lacks information and is vague and goes against our experience with air guns and pellets. .22 long rifle shells run between .08 to more than .20 cents per each shot. I purchase Crosman premier .22 pellets at $6.00 for 500. Little more than 1 cent each. My JSB .25 are now at $18 per tin of 350 if I buy 12 tins shipping and every 4th tin is free and my cost per each is about 3.56 cents per shot. I can shoot my air rifles everyday at home, I have to leave my residence to shoot any of my firearms. As far as "dirty" goes I have yet to clean any pellet and seldom clean my air guns. I'm sure lead oxide and dust exists on the pellets BUT I've never found any particles of lead dust, lead, or any other substance in any of the tins, boxes, or containers of pellets I have looked at or used. and I have been using them for the last 58 years. I don't do bench rest. My targets are usually canned food lids from the small tomato paste lids at 25 yds to 3" lids at 70 yds. at home bottle caps etc entertain me. But my favorite is squirrel, the object is to line up a clean shot with a backstop to catch the pellet in the event I miss while shooting from my backyard blind. I shoot for stew and to eliminate damage to trash cans, lawn furniture cushions, water hoses, tulip buds ( they seem to think the buds contain nuts) and other items the chew up i.e. downspout extensions, hose sprinklers and nozzles. All this said and provided you have read this far your statement is confusing leaves out necessary facts and suggests there may be something else going on. Please clarify your statement with more facts or I shall be force to disregard further statements.
