Silver Jet Pellets - Jap or Korean

Post by Yrrah »

Does anyone have any old Silver Jet pellets made in Japan or Korea which they could sell to me? Or know anyone who has some?
I want to do a study that includes these among some other heavy pellets in .177 cal (and .22 if possible). They were somewhere in the 12.5 gr wt range in .177.
I would buy whatever amount I can get but a tin or more would do.
Kind regards, Harry.

Harry,
I will check and get back to you only in 22 if I have any. If I have any they are a cardboard box.

A big THANK YOU to Gary :D
Your very welcome package arrived yesterday.
It may be some time before I get to do what I want. But seeing as these pellets were apparently quite popular back 30 to 40 years ago it will be interesting to make comparisons; the stuff history is made of. Beeman made much of some supposed lathe turned aspect.
I will write a PM Gary. ... Best regards, Harry.
