An experiment I conducted last week concerning pellet sizes gave some interesting (or not) results. Me & my lad shoot a 12ft/lb hw110k & a hw100k both .177. Both rifles love the qys heavy 9.56g pellet in 4.49mm headsize. I purchased a pellet gage from intershoot which is basically a plate with 10 holes in it ranging in size from 4.46mm to 4.55mm. You drop a pellet into a hole & can determine the actual headsize depending on which hole the pellet will or won't drop into. I found that there was a 50/50 split between 4.48 & 4.49mm. My lads 110 didn't mind either size, no difference between the two. My 100 was equally accurate with both BUT the 4.48mm groups were higher by about 4 or 5mm. Group sizes the same size but a definite difference in zero. Not a massive difference I grant you but enough for me to say its a worthwhile exercise. Sorry for being longwinded.
Good explanation and video, thanks for clarifying that they only size down and not up 😜. I know someone would ask how to size up. Keep the videos coming....Dave
That's great Eric! Thanks for the video and explanation. I may look into one of these for my 22 cal pellets and see if things get more consistent. Thanks brother!👊🏼💥
Good video Eric. I have 2 day state red wolfs a .177 and a.22 and a alfa wolf .22 great guns. I was wondering where you got the sizer mold. be watching for you. thank you.
But the most impact on size is the head size not the skirts. Skirt are so soft there size to the barrel on loading, unless the pellet is very small already and barrel perhaps largr
Thank you for watching the video and for leaving a comment. In my case i had a few sizes. 5.52, 5.53 and 5.54. Only the weighted pellets which went through 5.53 grouped best. So for me there is no but. For me there is only yes.

Thank you mate for sharing your information.

Gladd you liked it and I know at least one person too who would ask the size up question ;)

Gonna test 5.54 soon.

M8ne come from www.ebay.co.uk/itm/284753093344
There are more on ebay, I bought Fenton sizers
Pietje precies dus! Mooie video maat!
De weg naar perfectie is uitermate boeiend en zonder eind in zicht 😂

Very easy to make your pellets all the same 👍😃 Good one my friend ! 🙂🙂
Thanks Søren, appriciated very much.
Doesn’t each pellet get automatically resized to the barrel’s ID (inner diameter) anyway????
Hm??
They do. But if consistancy is key..... My results improve ..... when all pellets have same size before entering the barrel.
Good video!!!
Thanks coach 👍🏻
Waar haal je dat dingentje?
Ebay staan diverse sizers aangeboden.
Hi, did you have 4.52 pellets and use a 4.53 resizer?
Yes Sir. And all have resistance in the sizer. So all are bigger.
