Even with the buy 3 get the 4th free from PA orders can get pretty steep, and it is often with the idea just to try as many as possible. Sure it would have to be based on the honor system, but I think sending a baggie of well wrapped pellets(50-100ish) for minimal postage doesnt put one out too much if such a deal doesnt go as arranged. The big question is would folks be interested in this? _________________ Benjamin Marauder .25 cal scoped with Bushnell 4-16/40AO CF with Hill hand pump Gamo Hunter 220 .177 with CP 4-16/AO   Posted: Thu Jan 05, 2012 5:58 pm radar Silver Status Member Joined: 13 Nov 2011 Posts: 1138 Location: Des Moines, Iowa, USA That's a great idea. I'm always throwing out almost full tins of pellets I just bought when I can't make them shoot accurately in anything I've got. They may be great in another person's rifle though. I would be interested. -Rob   Posted: Thu Jan 05, 2012 8:35 pm domer_pyle Senior Member Joined: 17 Sep 2009 Posts: 523 Another site I hang out on has an actual pellet exchange section of their boards. Would be nice to see around here as well, sure beats throwing them away or having to buy full tins to test in a gun. So you can count my vote in on doing some swapping   Posted: Fri Jan 06, 2012 6:32 pm ButcheN New Member Joined: 27 Dec 2011 Posts: 4 It's something I would go for. I don't have big money laying around and I know others do as well if we just traded say 50 to see if our girl would like them it could help a lot of people out. I have like 3 or 4 tins of lite pellets that will never get used. Some one wanted to try 50 we could trade or if there gun likes them trade all. Is that what your talking about??   Posted: Fri Jan 06, 2012 6:53 pm domer_pyle Senior Member Joined: 17 Sep 2009 Posts: 523 I just post whatever I've got to get rid of and let anyone offer how many they'd like to take   Posted: Sat Jan 07, 2012 8:06 pm twalter Veteran Member Joined: 12 Jun 2011 Posts: 180 Location: East TN USA ButcheN wrote: It's something I would go for.

I want to try heaver (something in the 9+) in my Crosman Nitro   Posted: Sun Jan 08, 2012 12:17 am twalter Veteran Member Joined: 12 Jun 2011 Posts: 180 Location: East TN USA Forgive the dust in the close up shots, I was in a pinch and shot them off my Iphone screen. It obviously needs to get cleaned... Crosman Premier domed 10 gr .177 pellet I probably have 400ish left of these JSB exact heavies 10.34 gr .177 I probably have at least 300 of these left _________________ Benjamin Marauder .25 cal scoped with Bushnell 4-16/40AO CF with Hill hand pump Gamo Hunter 220 .177 with CP 4-16/AO   Posted: Sun Jan 08, 2012 1:14 pm ButcheN New Member Joined: 27 Dec 2011 Posts: 4 twalter wrote: Forgive the dust in the close up shots, I was in a pinch and shot them off my Iphone screen.

How do you think they will shoot in my Crosman Nitro? It dose not like the lite pellets and they are to loud to shoot in my backyard. What are you looking for? I have some blueflame (maybe 10 out of the tin of 150 shot), some armor and and almost a full thing of raptors by Gamo plus RWS orange hyper velocity (and maybe 10 or 15 shot out of the 200) let me know if we can do anything. But I am looking for those pellets to try   Posted: Sun Jan 08, 2012 6:26 pm Jr. Squirreler Veteran Member Joined: 12 Dec 2010 Posts: 419 Location: New York I have about 550-600 Gamo Tomahawk Pellets (.177) that I am looking to get off of my hands. I am still looking for my Disco's favorite pellet, so any .22 Pellet will do!   Posted: Sun Jan 08, 2012 8:04 pm radar Silver Status Member Joined: 13 Nov 2011 Posts: 1138 Location: Des Moines, Iowa, USA Imo have a look and post what I got this week. I got too busy this weekend. Jr. Squirreler wrote: I am still looking for my Disco's favorite pellet, so any .22 Pellet will do! I woudn't say any pellet...you could end up with those shotgunning Daisy Precision Max. Mine like regular 14.3 grain Premiers and JSB heavies, both 18.1 and 25.4 grainers. It's not super with RWS Superoint or Superdome...they are just OK accuracy in it. _________________ It's never too late to have a happy childhood.   Posted: Sun Jan 08, 2012 8:09 pm Jr. Squirreler Veteran Member Joined: 12 Dec 2010 Posts: 419 Location: New York radar wrote: Imo have a look and post what I got this week.

Mine are shooting about 1/2" groups at 30 yards with Discovery Hollow Points, however, I think I could actually get more out of the Discovery.   Posted: Sun Jan 08, 2012 8:15 pm radar Silver Status Member Joined: 13 Nov 2011 Posts: 1138 Location: Des Moines, Iowa, USA Jr. Squirreler wrote: radar wrote: Imo have a look and post what I got this week.

Try the JSB Exacts. I don't have any to trade at the moment, but it's a good bet they'll be incredible in the Disco. Shoot a few, of course, to condition the barrel to them as always before making a judgement. _________________ It's never too late to have a happy childhood.   Posted: Sun Jan 08, 2012 8:29 pm Jr. Squirreler Veteran Member Joined: 12 Dec 2010 Posts: 419 Location: New York radar wrote: Jr. Squirreler wrote: radar wrote: Imo have a look and post what I got this week.

But I am looking for those pellets to try Post or PM me your info and Ill "pay it forward" on these pellets. Ill drop about 50-75ish of each into a baggie and send them your way. They are just collecting dust at this point, and if you and the rifle take a liking to them we can work something out. _________________ Benjamin Marauder .25 cal scoped with Bushnell 4-16/40AO CF with Hill hand pump Gamo Hunter 220 .177 with CP 4-16/AO Pellet exchange     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 2   Goto page 1, 2  Next 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."
