I came across some damaged pellets that were from the middle of a well packed pellet sleeve. Those pellets were always good so I just opened a new tin and dumped some in my shooting bag and went off to a club shoot. When I started shooting them I had a bunch of damaged skirts. I just dropped them in my shirt pocket to deal with later. At home I took them out of my pocket thinking of trying to repair the skirts. I remembered seeing a tool Motörhead had made that was a really nice. I searched posts and found his tool. I will have one of those some day. I took one of those headphone jacks and fixed about a 1/2 tin. Some of the worse ones I keep aside for a test group. After repairing those I shot a 12 shot group at 30 yards off my sticks and stool. They went into a group that looked less than a 1/2" I didn't measure the group. I marked the tin pests and will save those for gophers and pigeons around the house. I was happy to find that I can use those for close stuff anyway. When I get some time I will shoot a group at 50 just out of curiosity. Here is an example of the worse bent pellets.
