They are shown on the website at $70.00 for 5,000 pellets in a sleeve of 10 plastic cases of 500 pellets each. Since the CMP is all about Marksmanship, it would seem these pellets, which they are designating as "Match" pellets, should be at least pretty good. On the other hand, one of the main facets of their mission is youth marksmanship programs, so maybe these might be "match" pellets for entry level (begining) young shooters? Anyway, 5,000 pellets is a lot of pellets if your initial use of them turns out to be disappointing. Thus my query here before I think about commiting to a purchase. Also, if anyone has had any experience with these, might you know their weight? This is not listed on the CMP website: www.odcmp.com _________________ BobB   Posted: Sat Mar 13, 2010 6:26 am broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands I don't think 5000 pellets is a lot. If I had the money, I'd be getting somewhere about 150 bucks worth of JSB Exact, H&N FTT or 'cuda extra heavies. All of those pellets can be had in 4,50, 4,51 and 4,52 mm which should make a decent fit for pretty much any rifle on the market. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Sat Mar 13, 2010 1:48 pm BobB Member Joined: 09 Feb 2010 Posts: 18 Location: Northern Midwest, USA 5,000 is a lot if they turn out to be inferior. This is the minimum quantity you can purchase per order. _________________ BobB Merlin/Vogel Match Pellets Through the CMP     Air Gun Home Forum Index » Pellets/Ammo You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum All times are GMT - 5 Hours   Page 1 of 1   All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  Select a forum Main Forums----------------AirGunHome Q&AGeneral Air Gun Questions and TopicsPicture GalleryTarget Shooting: Casual, Fun and CompetitionHunting, Pest Control, Varminting People/Events/Airgun Issue Discussion----------------Introduce YourselfThe BS TopicClubs/Events/Regional/Political Airgun Issues Maintenance, Modification and Reviews----------------RiflesPistolsAntique, Collector and Novelty AirgunsBB GunsPellets/AmmoOpticsAccessoriesAirgun Smithing Buy, Sell or Trade Forums----------------For SaleWant to Buy   Note: If you are seeing "Please enter your username and password to log in."
