That's quite an old tin mate. 50's - 60's vintage I believe.

That's older than my Sheridans which came in a yellow flip top plastic container.

https://youtu.be/nIFOV1PLGjQ Slugs are gathering momentum again these days and might be the next big thing with air guns. If you watch this great video from Matt Dubber you can see why they should be. With a couple of mates we imported some of these Slugs in 25 cal. They sure do hit hard.

Wowsers they are nice looking little critters, can almost see blokes like Barryb shooting them in his 17Rem and Mach1V :shock:

The Sheridan "Bantam" pellets aren't as accurate as diabolo style pellets. I have some here along with the pointed version H+N made. For that reason Sheridan introduced a diabolo style "target" pellet made in Germany, of the round nose profile.

Benjamin still make a pellet a bit like the Bantam for the Sheridan. but it is actually slightly waisted and not a cylindrical type.

.20 Sheridans love the Beeman Kodiak pellet for both power and accuracy.

I got these pellets sent down with the R9

Not sure whether to shoot them or stick them up next to the Sheridans
