Put pellet base down on a smooth flat surface. Thick glass or an old plate will do. Press down lightly and move the pellet in a circle about an inch across. Try for size, repeat if necessary. I have increased the diameter of thousands of .22 pellets to fit my pre 1950 Airsporter and Webley air...

Not exactly air gun related, but 'straight' rifling was also tried in shotguns in the 1960's. It reduced the spread cause by centrifugal force due to the shot charge rotating as it went up the barrel.

62 gauge? That's an unusual size. It's .422" or 10.17mm.

One way to pluck them, but not recommended.

If by 'blister pack' you mean the type where each pellet is in its own pocket, then if they are a good make (H&N, RWS) for example, then they are well worth it because the pellets cannot touch each other. I've only see .177 target pellets packed in that manner. There are usually 10 rows each of...

I'm wondering if the oversize part of the barrel should be at the other end, it would make loading easier. I recently honed the breech of a .25 to take bullets (when I was young pellets were called slugs) and made the 'chamber' to take a .254 bullet. Could be you have something similar but the...

1580's? Really? Tyr 1780's. Muzzle energy and fps are two very different things.

JTS not JSB

After years of air gunning you probably think you know what the terms mean. Or do you? How about these definitions. Eye relief. What you get when you finally buy a quality scope sight. Rifle sleeve. A rifle is an arm, sleeves go on arms. Gun slip. Worn under a female guns petticoat. Hunter. A...

Who makes copper pellets?

Round balls for game, square shot for vermin? Man called Puckle had a similar idea. Look up Puckle gun. (I am not being racist, nor in any way insulting to anyone.)

40 grains heavier? Was that a typo or modern arithmetic?

Leadpills, mind you don't cut yourself on the glass you threw on the magazines. I'm old and pedantic, and am finding it hard to keep up with the way that English and American English is changing.

I've seen a number of people buy an air rifle because the advertised power is given in Joules. But Joules multiplied by 0.7376 equals ft/lb, so a lot of the guns were not high power at all.

Says 10 inches low at 12 inches at the top. I had to clean coffee from my desk after reading it.

Homeless snails. I use them as targets. Moving targets. Slow, but moving all the same.

I hop I'm not the only one who read that as Viagra.

3.9mm is 0.1535433 inches, so rounding off gives 0.154. AGR, didn't John Whiscombe make a gun with a changeable transfer port?

1.5 MOA will be more than enough to hit a 3' square target at 2058 yards. But if the 700 feet high trajectory claimed is correct then hitting the target once was more fluke than accuracy.

A remarkable achievement, you have the right to be proud. Though the guns of the USS Vesuvius did hit targets at a longer range.
