I have had several customers tell me recently that their latest tins of nominal 5.52 pellets were ALL larger than the largest aperture in the .22 cal Pelletgage which is (or was) 5.57 mm. My latest lot of new gage plates were produced with apertures from 5.49 to 5.58 mm, and I believe recent...

You will need a set of metric class X pin gages to make the necessary confirmation. Thousands of Pelletgages have been sold worldwide, and I stand behind them.

Checking a Pelletgage aperture with a set of calipers that is only accurate to 0.001 inch (0.025 mm) - not even considering the difficulty of getting your jaws to properly check the inside diameter - is not a valid method. If you want to confirm the aperture with accuracy, use a set of metric...

This is a GinB #14 stock in teak doreng with a 1993 vintage Beeman HW97. Bought it several years ago at the Arkansas Airgun Extravaganza. I have just found the right scope for it, a NOS Weaver V16. Getting ready to mount it today, but one of the rings had stripped threads. I ordered a new one...

I will answer any questions about Pelletgage, and absolutely stand by the claim that every aperture in every Pelletgage is within +/- 0.0025 mm (0.0001 inches) of the indicated nominal diameter, apart from any unusual wear or mistreatment. And I guess this proves (inviting alternate reasoning)...

I'll message you, Mike. 

Forgive any 'splaining' that steps on expertise beyond my guesses, but start with this. one mm is a thousandth of a meter, or 0.039 inches. So, 0.01 mm is 0.0004 inches. That's the incremental nominal size step commonly offered when buying pellets. The real tolerance of most pellets is thus...

Yes, Mike. Just like that. I have had two returns in better than five years. One who complained that every BB was falling through the smallest slot in a .177 gage (4.46 mm) and one who said the 4.52 aperture was oversized. The BB guy was surprised that BB's were not really .177, and shortly...

Hello, all, The Pelletgage plates are cut on a bed-type diode pumped fiber optic laser. The beam is also focused with a condensing lens to minimize the kerf. The (very expensive) machine that does this is optimized for cutting thin sheets of metal, and focused/setup to cut 0.2 mm thickness...

Dan, this recent FT match is not a major, but note that several of these competitors are quite experienced, and can easily obtain any pellet they might wish. 27 competitors, 26 shooting Air Arms or JSB. I stand by the original post comment. AA/JSB currently enjoys a predominant position with...

Hello, Dan, see link below my earlier post about the WFTC 2017, I tabulated those online reports, and found JSB to be used overwhelmingly. Field Target is much more popular in UK (and in many other European countries) than in USA, the best shooters these past few years are Welch. And they have...

It certainly seems that competitive field target shooters like JSB/Air Arms. The WFTC 2019 site shows the selections of those who have registered, and apart from "TBD", the Czech pellets are dominant, as they seem to be in all the similar reports from major competitions. ...

The .177 caliber PelletgageR was introduced this past winter, to allow efficient sorting of pellets by head size. There have been a number of requests for other calibers. PelletgageR has 48 apertures of the same diameter, and is now available in .22 caliber - head sizes of 5.50, 5.51, 5.52, and...

The PelletgageR has 48 apertures of the same diameter, intended to allow rapid sorting by specific head sizes. It was introduced in .177 caliber this past winter, and is now available in .22 caliber, head sizes of 5.50, 5.51, 5.52, and 5.53 mm. The specified tolerance for all apertures is +/-...

As usual, Hector does some deep analysis, and finds what looks to be a very good result. I believe this Chinese manufacturer is setting a high standard with their consistency and overall quality. https://www.ctcustomairguns.com/hectors-airgun-blog/the-durango-kid-is-coming-to-town#comments
