If you buy a ton of specialty pellets- post up the who's/what's as well! If there's a manufacturer not listed whose products you buy frequently- post that too.   Posted: Tue Oct 09, 2007 2:12 pm 23ib0d0n Moderator Joined: 21 May 2007 Posts: 757 Vogel Dynamit Nobel Shoot lots of match pellets. Like it when they're consistant.   Posted: Thu Oct 11, 2007 10:22 pm AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6930 Location: "Out There" Any idea who actually makes those Vogel pellets, J.? They are apparently made in Germany- and I'm doubting they are only made for Pilkguns (maybe they are under the name "Vogel"- but any idea what other names they may be sold under?). _________________ ` I'd say "I care."

The match Vogels that I use in pistols and rifles seem to shoot very consistantly, so usually just order several sleeves when I break open that last sleeve in the size range to be ahead of the shipping curve. Maybe this current fiasco condition can cut me some slack and I can get back to shooting a few hours every week again.   Posted: Thu Oct 11, 2007 11:53 pm AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6930 Location: "Out There" ? The Merlin Match label on their website says "Made in Germany": Actually- apparently I'm a bit slow- the website also has a link to Vogel GmbH, in Germany. Doh! Although if you look at their list price- they are absurdly expensive (i.e. almost double what Pilkguns is selling them for)! _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.

Dang tree huggers with 'lead panic' are ruining the entire planet . . .   Posted: Fri Oct 12, 2007 1:47 am AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6930 Location: "Out There" That's a bit different- you would have thought they would update the "other" page. I assume they worked a deal out with Vogel in Germany and Pilkguns now does manufacturing the U.S. I wonder how much "licensing" must be paid for something like that? _________________ ` I'd say "I care."

Green and brown are "invisible" to humans? Never heard that- but apparently for me it must be true. Sadly- I did see the top green line "Vogel USA" but somehow missed the giant flaming letters at the bottom. _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.

The 'green, brown' invisible thing was an accident study and 'green, brown' are in accidents because 'I never saw it' which I learned about after having somebody pull out in front of a green car I once had. I won't drive a red, yellow, green or brown car because of those study results. As for bikes, it doesn't ever matter because you're always invisible to the bozos in their cages, and one must needs ride a bike accordingly.   Posted: Fri Oct 12, 2007 10:39 am AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6930 Location: "Out There" 23ib0d0n wrote: As for bikes, it doesn't ever matter because you're always invisible to the bozos in their cages, and one must needs ride a bike accordingly. That's maybe why some people need giant cruisers on the road like an ElectraGlide or a Goldwing- so they're the same size as a small car! Not my kinda bike- but I sold the last one 11 years ago- so no matter... That color thing might explain how a woman ran into the side of a dark green Buick I had years ago did it- managed to cross over 3 lanes of traffic coming out of a parking lot and smacked right into my driver door. Never could figure out how she managed to do that ('til now?). _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.

Majority of car accidents happen within 3mi {5km} from home. Something out of the ordinary occurs, twisted metal results . . .   Posted: Wed Nov 21, 2007 1:30 am 2RCHA Veteran Member Joined: 21 Feb 2007 Posts: 195 Location: The Big Smoke, Ontario H&N all the way,and Skenco's for the field. _________________ QB78-D w/Fitco 4-16x44CE 2x,XS B4-2a .177/.22 w/Fitco 3-9x40 XS B2-2a .22 w/Simmons 3-9x40 XS B9-1 w/AimPoint CompM2 TAC1 Extreme w/Tasco 3-9x40/Var,.
