I ordered 2 x 300 tins of these new BSA Greenstar .177 lead free pellets from the Wolfman Store £17.80 delivered. They came very fast and we packaged.
Very shiny, smooth in the fingers and appear to be very well made.
I took a random selection from both tins and measured them. They were very consistent but small with heads at 4.43mm and skirts at 4.62mm. I could also tell they were on the small size as they seated into the shell grommets to easily.

Using the Schofield
Over the Chrono they were reasonably quick but inconsistent with a wide fps spread. This could be down to the small size of the pellet.
Then the soup can test. I decimated the tin. At 6 yards, clean through.
I retrieved the pellets from the cardboard box behind the can and none of them showed deformities. In fact if these were shot into a stuffed box they could be used again like bbs.
6 yards weaver. Just acceptable but not accurate.
10 yards weaver. About the same as the 6 yarder.
I then went onto steel targets. Ducks and knockdowns at 6 yards. The pellets showed signs of deforming against steel but the very high incidences of ricochets was completely unacceptable. In fact about the same as bb.
I will give them another go in a rifled barrel but at the moment these are not worth the money and certainly not accurate enough or safe enough to use. (Unless it’s just to destroy cans).
