I was in Princess Auto on a work related matter, and came across this:

A little steep at 19.99, but I had to have it, just to get at the .177 Heavy for test purposes...

Very well made pellet. My first experience with a cylindrical pellet. Wonder about terminal ballistics with them. They must pile up in an interesting manner...

Lateral stringing at 12 meters from the 1701-P was sort of expected. 2600 PSI avg'd 424 fps. Weaver B-4. That L.W. bbl just won't shoot heavy for weight pellets. It doesn't like the Cr. ultra mags either, with similar lateral groups.

A lot better with the 24" bbl 13-77, with the 6-24X Banner aboard. Still not the one hole I get with the Ultra Mags, but decent... Ten pumps at 12 meters, 6X.
I have a new 24" .177 bbl to play with here, and if work co-operates, I'll get a report up on it. Plan is to mount it in the 1701-P...
Incidentally, there are no wad cutter pellets in that test tin~ just domes and points.
