We haven't had a "what's the best pellet" inquiry in months.

You guys know my response: "Yo Momma!"

I’ve personally found that the pellets with the flat end at the front shoot best for me. Some manufacturers put the flat end at the back and the skirt at the front; those don’t shoot so well.

Don't knock backward pellets they work for me!
Taking the time to the limit in a comp and on the last shot dropped a pellet in the Morini and half closed the breech and it hit me - that pellet was backwards, no time to poke it out so shut my brain down again and back in the zone and took the shot - 10.9 flashed up on the screen readout, that put a stupid grin on my face.

The ether-soaked Q-Tip head shot as a tracer-round - always my favorite!

They may be a wee tad less accurate, but think of the mammoth expansion! They'll have to reformulate the ballistic gelatin to contain it.

Those ether-soaked Qtip tracer. They light up spontaneously or you have to match light them up? I am a bit dense this morning, so please talk to me like a sixth grader.

Backward pellet, out size of frizbee, that explained a lot of my dilemma. Tried that backward pellets intentionally many times. All hit target precisely, but the shapes of hitting target were confounding. Some are big hole, some small slit.

Your frizbee theory explained a lot.
