I had written a bit of a how-to here

Jack, you really are a god umungst men haha. I ggdted my results of a pellet with my gun. got 900fps at 500psi.....yes 500psi. Wayyyy further then I plan on going. Maxing out the shock pump at 300psi I reckon would be good enough for me. But that speed at 500psi is rather crappy I reckon...

I do my best ;P

With the HVBB I had managed a single 400 psi shot with a lead pellet chronoed at 652 feet per second before it started to leak and I shelved it. Not an amazing near-supersonic velocity, granted, but it does a lot more damage than a 0.12g BB at 1100 fps

Unfortunatly that link doesn't work too well. the pictures don't come up but yeah...I can imagine that the pellets would be better. They are heavier, fly straighter and hit harder. I might get myself some off ebay but if I can get the .25 pellets, I'll get em. Having to flair out the skirts on the .22 pellets one by one is just too much of a pain staking process hahaha.

Curious, how quick does a authentic .22 air rifle shoot pellets anway?

pictures can be found in this thread.

I tried 0.25 pellets, they're a bit bigger than 6mm so you have to roll or swage them down a bit, plus the skirt is heavier so they tend to tumble.

Yeah I was thinking that. Hmm... All in all, your plan of flairing the skirts on the .22 is the best idea. With a well made "pellet flairer" so to speak, it wouldn't take much time to do a pile in a hurry. I'll make up a rig to clamp the pellets. If I have any luck, I'll let ya know mate. Well I'm off to bed. Have a good one and thanks alot for the advice. :thumbright:

For typical 16 grain pellets, usually around 600 feet per second. My Daystate Mk.3 does 900 fps
