This is a great video by Sinperqty showing the difference in accuracy between pellets with damaged skirts and damaged heads....which is most important?? Watch the video to see. Although I do not understand what he is saying the video speaks for itself!!

Video showing the accuracy difference b/t damaged pellets

It makes sense. The skirt gets blown to the correct shape by the air pressure, but the damaged head will always not engage the barrel properly.

Someone else did this same experiment and posted it on the forum but I can't seem to find it. Maybe it was on the old holdover forum but the results are pretty impressive.

I dunno, but my test shows that deformed pellet skirts affect accuracy quite a bit. I hardly ever find damaged heads.

I agree with you jps2486, you show clear indication of it in that thread.
His results show the same phenomenon, look at the 3 circled flyers in the right group. I believe his test was just to demonstrate the difference in results between head (left shotgun-pattern) or skirt (right circled holes) being damaged.

Edit: Hmmm, not sure why the image doesn't show up. It is a cropped screen capture of the video, showing the two groups that Sniperqty shot.

I did a similar experiment where I only damaged the skirts on the pellets

As pretbek has already stated,"The skirt gets blown to the correct shape by the air pressure, but the damaged head will always not engage the barrel properly."
If the skirt is bent, it will still shoot very decently....A damaged head is quite another story....I usually shoot the damaged skirts and trash the damaged heads.
