Good even all, recommendation for pellet sizer wanted. Here's the problem, some of my pellets are slightly smaller than the magazines on my Huben K1s causing jams. Is it feasible to stretch the skirts a few thousands of an inch to smug them up in the magazine. I've pulled a search and watched videos on the subject. I'm looking for first hand knowledge from members that use them. Thanks for the help.
Pellet sizers

I've used sizers, and they typically REDUCE the diameter.
Sounds like you're wanting to INCREASE the diameter.
Could maybe flare the skirt to do what you want....
I remember seeing somebody experimenting with slightly squashing pellets to make the head slightly larger. Seems it would be hard to do in a controlled manner to ensure they're all the same after the process.

You could try a rounded pellet seater. Once upon a time Beeman sold them likely someone does.

Beeman Pell Seat – does it work? | Blog | Pyramyd AIR
by B.B. Pelletier Beeman's Pell Seat is a simple tool, but sometimes very useful. Quick question This question came from Phil last week. He asked if the Beeman Pell Seat was really useful for straightening the skirts of pellets. Since I have personal experience using one, I told him I'd blog the...

so, i guess these are the pellets that shoot the best because i would just find some different pellets
seeing that the mags are just round discs for the most part i would put them on a flat surface load the mage and then take a BIC pen and push them down hard
now pick it up and see how many if any pellets fall out
the ball end of the Beeman tool was really made to fix damaged pellets skirts
the idea of sizing skirts to fix this one by one sounds like a major PITA
try that or find some new pellets

Whenever I need to increase the diameter a little I usually powdercoat the pellets or slugs. It works pretty well most times. I had to double coat for my Huben GK1, but they work well.

Put pellet base down on a smooth flat surface. Thick glass or an old plate will do.
Press down lightly and move the pellet in a circle about an inch across.
Try for size, repeat if necessary.
I have increased the diameter of thousands of .22 pellets to fit my pre 1950 Airsporter and Webley air rifles.

Marflow, yes when purchasing new pellets I pick the larger ones. The problem occures when using pellets from my stach well over 5000 pellets. Using a different rifle is not an option as I've thinned the herd to one platform, the Huben K1.
