.22 pellet head size options.

I’d love something a little bigger than the H&N 5.55 Field Target Trophies

Anyone know of any in 5.56 or 5.57??

Reason is a .22 I have with a bore and barrel that are a little oversized. Wanting to find something that at least fits some what snug in the breach

Define a little bit oversized!

Hmmm.... Unless you find a mold and cast something ....

Now Diana guns with oversized breech holes/ leades I guess some overcome that by flaring out the pellets skirt to keep it he pellets from falling through..

They've been out of production for 20 years. Ebay is the go to source. Sometimes you see them in the classifieds:

FYI, In my search for the biggest 22 caliber pellet was the H&N Field Target Trophy 5.5mm/22cal 14.66 gr pellet, On the back of the tin it says 5.55 pellet
They don't fit my oversized magazine,
I was told the AEA were the bigger pellet, The tin showed up saying 5.5mm 18.3 gr NOPE, Just B/S
So if your looking for a oversize 22 pellet the Predator GTO is your only ticket. If you find a bigger one please let me know, I just ordered 10 tins of GTO pellets , Its still pretty cheap fun,

Let us know about the Marksman pellets , I would order a tin or two, but I have chased after a bigger 22 pellet I have got a lot of oddball pellets that will set for many years,

Will do

I have never seen a close relationship between stated pellet size and what I measure. I do know how to use a micrometer. Eun Gin pellets were always large in .22. The Seneca brand seems to be identical with maybe better QC.

Measuring a "Seneca" 28.5g pellet gave 5.61. Try some of those.

Try contacting Jeff @ Trenier Outdoors, I know he carries different JSB head sizes.
