Generally an alloy of lead and tin. Pritambhai should know, he has a wonderful airgun!

Ravi Patel, Are you solving a crossword puzzle or taking part in a quiz, doing a kid's GK homework, etc.? In that case answer will be "LEAD", for more technical answers, googling it or asking some of the gurus on this site will be more useful.
Cheers!

Hi Guys,
> Here's some 'Gyan' on the composition of metals used in the making of air-gun / rifle pellets:
Composition of Air Gun Pellets:
> Almost all air-gun pellets mainly are made of soft lead. No other material seems to offer such an excellent combination of weight and density, workability, rifling engagement, air-seal, inertia, expansion upon impact, and resistance to ricochet. Small amounts of antimony and /or tin are sometimes alloyed into pellet lead to increase its hardness. Harder pellets resist handling and loading damage better, but they also may resist proper engagement by the rifling, and reduce velocity through increased friction and air blow. Penetration is increased, but expansion is reduced.
> A hard pellet may appear more effective in tests because of its greater penetration, but in use on game it probably would be less effective than an expanding pellet. A typical analysis on pellet lead is of the British Standard No. 602: 1956 II:
• Lead - not less than 99.25% and not more than 99.80%
• Antimony -not more than 0.10%
• Zinc - not more than 0.005%
• Copper - not more than 0.07%
• Tin - not more than 0.50%
> The addition of antimony has three purposes:
1.To improve the swaging process.
2.To protect the pellets against transportation damages.
3.To improve resistance to corrosion.
Cheers
