Indians For Guns

Dear all,

I'd request you all to post pics or mention the brand names of whatever pellets you've come across in the Indian market (apart from Master Shot and G Smith).

My list includes:

Marvel Shot
Marshal Shot
UTA
HeMan
ISW
Indian Shot
International Shot

Marvel Shot & Marshal Shot are of the lowest quality.

ISW is not available in the market (Chennai) now, but i have used them several years ago. It was of very good quality.

Indian Shot too is not available now, but I have stock of the pointed ones (About 50 rounds). They worked very well with my UTA air rifle, better than Master Shot. Yesterday I managed to pick a 500 double head pack (the last one left) from Tamil Nadu Armoury.

International Shot is new to me and I picked 2 nos of a 100 pack. It's a flat head and the finish is excellent.

Are the last three brands available in other parts of the country? Any info on this would be appreciated.

There's a chap out of Moradabad who makes pellets under the brand name Tremendous. Saw his wadcutters being used/ sold at the Shri Fort Range (New Delhi), the quality seemed visually OK, but performance on paper was terrible - at least in the air-pistols we were using (HW40 & IZH-46M).

In fact we bumped into the gent there as well. He took a few samples of RWS Hobby, JSB Exacts & FTT from me to try and replicate them. If anyone wants contact details, I probably have his visiting card lying around somewhere... seemed to be a bit of an oddball, claimed that dipping pellets in cow shite made them deadly lethal I quietly made my exit once he went off on this (apparently his favourite) topic!

Dev may have a few tins of the stuff with him also.

Cheers!

there is another company MAGNA SHOT, even their performance is terrible.

Hello ebenezer,
In our city ( Kolhapur, Maharashtra) we have supplies of Marshal, Master Shot and G Smith pellets. Indian Shots were available 2 to 3 years back but not now. G Smith pellets are of top quality and fit & finish but are a bit soft. Master Shot pellets seems practical and economical... Marshal pellets are of low quality. Master Shot Wadcutters and export quality round head are the ones I liked.
Thanks

There's one brand called Target Shot. The best pellet for hitting everything around a bull.
“Horrid” would be an understatement (at least in my opinion).

Hi King, Amol and Big Daddy,

Thanks for your replies. I think now Master Shot rules the roost.

Thanks,
Ebenezer

In my experience...
UTA ia of low quality,
Master shot is a good one,
Diana are the top quality pellets i ever used but now rare,
G-smith pellets are well finished & good quality but costly,
Finally my latest favourite one is Marvellous Shot

Hi Friends,

Any ideas if ISW pellets are sill in market? or any other brands which are not mentioned in the above reply.

Dear Gunner,

ISW has stopped production of pellets in either calibre, to my knowledge.

Ebenezer

Oops, that's touchy.

They were so bad that I couldn't wait to dump them in bovine excreta. So lost them between house shifts.
