Re-using .22 pellets

i have a Cisco air pistol. ive been using it since a very long time. sometimes i 'recycle' the used .22 pellets by widening the bottom part of the pellet by a slight tap on its surface and then use it again. ive also noticed that these reused pellets dont give much accuracy, and theres also a chance of misfire in a few cases. have you guys also observed the same or is it just happening with me, somehow?

why are you reusing pellets , any specifc reason? The pellet will be deformed ,thats why the accuracy issue.
I have never bothered reusing pellets.

^^^ the prob is ive been very busy a last few months and there r no shops around where i stay! btw i very light tap is very effective just incase any1 want to reuse, though i dnt prefer reusing.. that way the bullet doesnt get stuck in the barrel and the barrel doesnt get damaged.. though, should be done onlyt when there is acute lack of pellets!

Deagle,
consider ordering them online.
I know AIMCO delivers. Not sure how many you'd have to order for them to deliver though. I'm sure others deliver to your door to. Someone else can probably give you more details, sorry.

Recycling pellets! You are saving on pellets while doing irreparable damage to your air pistol...
