Default Well all be darned!

Was sitting here looking at my collection of HP Powerbelts and was searching for ideas and i remembered my nephews pellet gun. I went and used a pellet and it fit perfect into the Hollow Point on my 348s! I am going to see how they shoot tomorrow and check them in the sand trap.

i can buy the "Aerotip" Pellets and see if those shoot flatter [8D]

That top picture looks like a Garden Gnome hiding in a old time steam engine smoke stack.

Lmao you're right semi it does!

it will be interesting to see how these do.

I have 3 set up as flat points and then i reversed the pellet and made it a very shallow hollow point.

I think the copper coated pellet would add some strength. However, when this lead mushrooms, the pellet is basically going to fill in that deep HP and help control expansion. We shall see tomorrow!

Some pics. Sorry for the blurry pics, my cam sucks at night so i will take some tomorrow outside.

Shallow HP





Flat nose,

$1 each? You're crazy!

$9 for a package of 20 is a hell of a deal! Already have shot 2 packages.
