I just got my new springer Walther Talon along with a variety of pellets. I have some old pellets that I had for my old pump pellet/BB gun. Anyway the new pellets I got all look dark compared to the old ones I have which look dry and way lighter. Question would it be a bad idea to shoot these old ones in the new gun or just leave the for the old gun?

What brand are your new pellets?

The black colour is probably graphite. You can wash it off by putting the pellets in a strainer sloshing them in soap and water.

You shouldn't have any problems with either pellet. Some pellets, as SMP menioned come with graphite or even lead dust in the packaging- which also won't hurt anything, but might necessitate cleaning your barrel a bit more often. The old pellets, at absolute worst, might have some oxidation on them from any impurities in the lead- either way- shoot them.

Yea, I wasnt sure how to describe the old pellets but I would say oxidation would sayit best. Sounds like that should be no problem. Anyway thanks for the help.
