Tried both types, and the heavier ones for fac rated will put a borderline
legal 11.5 ft/lb rifle over the limit by several ft/lbs due to the reduced
friction with greater mass, the lighter ones just travel faster but with
less mass than a "normal" pellet so *SHOULD* remain under the limit. Anyone
remember them being shown to be especially dangerous on some news program
in the late 80's, shattered a clothes dummies head IIRC for dramatic effect.
One pellet I liked was the "ballistic", they had a steel ball in the centre
~1.5 mm dia, that carried on when the lead jacket stopped, very effective on
vermin, but bounce backs were a risk from tree's if you missed.
Fave air rifle, HW80 with a 10 inch barrel and two sided tyrolien stock,
shot well off of both shoulders, had a parker hale silencer so the v-short
barrel was needed in the fruit fields/convent grounds I had to shoot over.
The sisters always appriciated the fruits of my labours, and their brassicas
benifited from not being attacked too.
