Just putting this out there because they are available at Pyramyd for $10 per tin of 100, or 7.5 cents a piece once you include the free fourth tin.

That’s the cheapest I’ve found for .30 pellets yet, but be warned, their skirts are seriously oversized. I fired about 50 of them from my Hatsan 135, but I had to use a probe to seat them in the breech and it took a firm push. Accuracy from the Hatsan was mediocre, but more than adequate for a plinking session. I seemed to be shooting about 2” groups at 35 yards from a sitting position. With JSB’s I think my groups would have been a bit tighter based on past experience.
 
I have tried them in fx liners and two different agt. A 700 mm v3 and a 500 mm v3. I cannot over exaggerate enough how big of a pile of trash they were in all 3. Worst pellet in any caliber I’ve used. I will use the left over I have to get a baseline tune when just starting out. Good to waste in that phase of tuning. Just my experience others may vary.

I bought way too many since it looked like a good deal, but I'm regretting it. I've got a pellet sizer on the way and I'm going to try resizing them. Better to pay 11 cents a pellet for a good pellet from FX than 7.5 cents for oversized Apolos.

Hopefully that works out and makes an improvement

The skirts are nice and thin so if your resizer pushes the dented skirts back out then that could be helpful.

My .30 RAW shot them decently well on Saturday but shame on me I forgot to bring my normal JSB 45s for comparison. (It was not dead calm that day)
