Re: Aluminum pellets

Have not been impressed with the non-lead pellets so far.

It is best to test the pellets in the rifle or pistol they will be used. We clamp the rifle in a solid base and shoot some five shot groups. This will give you an idea of how they perform.

Re: FWB 700 dry fire fails

In all probability the dry fire mechanism is wearing and needs to be serviced. If you do a lot of dry firing, unscrew the air cylinder and do not use the dry fire mechanism. This problem is not uncommon.
