Thanks, I just cut one and it cut ok but jagged, would never shoot it, being a fireman, there are no stupid questions when you are new to something. Yea, I know about the 30 grain pellets. The thought crossed my mind while sitting around. What do you like better as far as pellets go, Pyrodex or 777. I'm trying the pyrodex first. Gona see which shoots a 250 Shockwave the best, 100 grain or 150. Thank's for the info.
