As a young man, I was forever looking for anything that would make me a better hunter, and I always believed that one day I'd find a magical pellet that would let me achieve my goal. I could never pass a gun shop without browsing through the pellet shelves, searching for some innovative design that would guarantee that any rabbit I targeted would be as good as in my game bag. I bought every type of pellet I saw, which has left me the proud owner of a massive pellet collection that must weigh a ton – almost literally!
My early airgunning career saw me shooting simple lead roundheads like everybody else, which were OK, but cheap, so were probably not all that well made. This meant that they weren't very accurate, and even back then I understood that accuracy was key to good pellet placement that in turn equalled clean kills.
The pellet I aspired to was the now classic Eley Wasp, clearly very well made and manufactured from quite a hard lead alloy. This ensured that few of them came out
