Air Gun Home :: View topic - Making a pellet hi harder

farri · New Member

I saw on YouTube on a few videos different ways that you can make your pellet both heavier and hit harder. It is also said it gives it more fps.

In a nutshell you would use a hollow point pellet then superglue a BB on to it .

I saw that using a BB or other Ball bearing would be better because it is made of a harder material than using a heavier lead pellet & and according to the people that did the video it would also hit harder and do more damage.

Personally not knowing much about this kind of thing I would guess it to be okay but I’m not sure that’s why I am asking all of you.
If you all do think it is okay I was wondering if a BB was okay or should I use a smaller ball bearing.

I would like to find out if doing that is advisable and or will damage the Barell of an airgun.

I wouldn't waste my time. It doesn't work that well.

A .177 BB on a hollow point .22 would work. I don't think I would try a .177 BB in a .177 cal rifle. I'm pretty sure I've seen pellets like this available.
I say if you want to try it out go for it. Shoot them into some clay or balistic gel to see the difference. Have fun.
