Pellet availability problem

Post by bennedose » Tue Jul 30, 2013 9:37 am

There appears to be a problem getting Mastershot pellets (0.22) in Bangalore. Wadcutters are not available anywhere.

GSmith, thankfully are available, but when I look for lighter pellets (which bring joys of their own) I am unable to find Mastershot - but only other brands which I have discovered are all no good for accuracy on my rifles.

Is anyone else facing such issues inside or outside Bangalore?

There is a Meerut company that makes pellets called Marshal shot. Marshal shot flat heads are very good light pellets - but only Kovi shop in Bangalore used to stock them and they too are out of stock.

Get it from Aimco , choose assorted http://www.aimco.co.in/products/123-mas ... -55mm.aspx and ask them to send mastershot or wadcutter only. I buy from them, usually you need to remind them while placing order.
as once they send me assorted.

Uv is correct .You may get it from AIMCO.
You may try AIMCO made round head 5.6 mm light pellets.It goes quite well with Cannon.
Hope it goes well with your SDB.

Called AIMCO and they told me wadcutter will be available from next week. Let me see. My poor SDB is weeping tears of distress because she is being made to manage with pellets she doesn't like.

AIMCO worked like a charm for me.

But you must first place your order online for a minimum of Rs 1000 (that means ask for twenty assorted boxes (which you don't want). You will be given an order number and you then have to make the payment. They will not know whose payment they have got until you email them and tell them your payment details and your order number. Along with this email you need to specify that you want only Mastershot export. I got ten boxes of Mastershot Flat head in this manner (plus other stuff to make the total order cross Rs 1000).

The postman who brought the heavy parcel wanted a tip, but my wife gave him a cup of tea. :lol:
