Chinese wadcutters — available anywhere?

[katfisch]

I have a few of these Chinese wadcutters left from maybe 20 yrs ago — probably bought them during one of the old Mac1 annual pellet sales Tim used to have.
They seem to be high quality match pellets.
Anyhow, they group great with my FWB 300s and my new Daisy 880!!
Anybody know if they still available somewhere?

No clue what brand those are, but QYS are respected by many: https://www.creedmoorsports.com/category/pellets-

LoL... For all the Chinese air guns we have it's amazing we don't have a wide selection of there pellets in bulk at a affordable pricing ..lol

QYS available on Amazon as well.

Thanks for the info — I suspect the QY training pellets are similar to my old ones. Unfortunately, Creedmore is out of stock of the 500 pellet tins.

For all the creative products the Chinese bring out — I wish they's offer us a heavy .25cal wadcutter....
And maybe even one in .30cal.

A pester's and ratter's dream....

The packaging and tags look like the QYS that I have. AoA were selling them as well as a couple of other dealers. They are QUITE good. I have a few of the Olympic grade as well as Practice grade and will never tell the difference for my shooting in any rifle I have.

You're correct. I'm fairly certain your old can was made by the same company as QYS but different plant. New QYS is now made with modern machinery, which may or may not be a good thing...

I’ve been looking at those USA-made Vogel bulk pellets, and I’ll bet they’re pretty good — may need a little weighing and sorting. Any recommendations on a reliable digital scale?

No , but whatever one you get be sure it has a calibration weight included .. I found having that is handy instead of wondering ..lol

Let me answer your question. I’m from China, where airguns are now classified as firearms, and owning or trading airguns and accessories is considered illegal. Therefore, there are no lead pellets available on the Chinese market anymore. Only some small workshops produce them, but the quality is poor. Some larger manufacturers produce airguns and accessories for export, such as Huben. However, it seems that players from other countries don’t prefer Chinese products. Many products have no Chinese labels and use English names, avoiding mentioning their origin from China. It might be difficult to find the type of pellets shown in your picture.

Thanks for the info, Leo. Sorry to hear about the airgun situation in China, now — so much potential, there. I will have to carefully ration my old high quality Chinese wadcutters, now. I’m lucky to have a few (thousand) left.
