What's the best and least expensive way of choosing the right pellets?

airgun pellets

Good quality pellets are the way to go if you want consistent accuracy from your airgun

How do I transport airgun pellets safely?

Q: I usually carry airgun pellets in my pocket when I’m out shooting, but I’m always concerned that they might get damaged. Is there a safer way to transport soft lead pellets so they are protected until I load them into my magazine?

A: I must confess that I carry pellets in my pocket during hunting trips and they have never been damaged. However a lot of my friends share your concerns and several of them use the pellet keeper tin from Custom Targets. This relatively inexpensive metal box holds pellets securely in 5mm neoprene sheets. There is even padding in the base and inside the lid, and a neoprene spacer to place between the two pellet sheets, so there should be no chance of your ammunition coming to any harm inside this compact holder.
