Hmmmmmmmmmmm? Make your own pellets?
I don't know if there is anyone making equipment to make pellets, or why anyone would want to.
The are very inexpensive to buy and I can't imagine how home made could ever be better than match pellets you can buy.

Talked to a guy on another list who had a .22 pellet mold made by (?).

Anyway, he told me how lousy his mold was then sent me so pellets to prove it.

Groups worse than the cheapest brand Chi_X you ever saw..

good hunting woodsrunner

If there is a way i would like to know also. It would be nice if the stores sold jumbo packs of pellets holding something like 10,000 pellets instead of the usual 250 or 500.

vasilenko:
Got any idea how long it would take to make 10,000 pellets of inferior quality anyway?
Contact Compasseco, Air Gun Express,etc , tell 'em you want to make a deal on 10K pellets and I betcha they bite!
I shoot black powder roundballs. Have lead, furnace, molds...but alas NO TIME.
You'd be surpised how fast a distributor will cut a deal on a thousand swagged r/b.
Now it gets better if you find one within driving distance and avoid shipping at ten million dollars a pound!
