While poking around at work yesterday, I came across a small, white container in the airgun section. Sitting all by itself, surrounded by CO2 powerlets, Crosman and Daisy BBs, etc. Just sitting there unassuming.
I looked at the label, and sure enough, it read: "Crosman .177 Copperhead Pellets." I opened the box, and there lay the Old School, pure lead, wadcutter pellets. You know, the ones that are extremely soft and mangle easily.
If they had been .22, cash would have flown out of my pocket and they would have been mine, but I don't have a .177 gun anymore. These are the ones, that with a slight nick on the head with a razor-blade, opened up like a Black Talon round, and were completely devastating on pests.
It's been over 30 years since I've seen any of these pellets "In the wild." So I thought it was a pretty cool find.
