kodiak gold pellets???
Many condor lovers swear by the kodiaks, but does anyone have experience with the golds??? Are they as accurate as the lead pellets? Thanks.

I’ve not used them, but I think it is just a gimmick.
Without hot powder gases to melt the metal, small amounts of vaporized lead would only be in your basement air through one means. That would be if you’re shooting the pellets against a steel plate or other hard surface, which would send fragments and lead dust flying.
S basically in practical use there is no advantage? I shot just short of a tin of pellets in a week and I cannot imagine a lead problem in my basement?? I oil them and shoot away. i HAVE THE PUMP SO THE AIR HAS TIME TO CLEAN OUT BETWEEN 25 SHOT STRINGS. lol
I would be interested in purchasing them if there was a gain in accuracy.
They appear to simply be copper washed, swaged lead pellets. The copper wash is likely just a marketing gimmick borrowed from the firearms ammunition industry and has no real value in an airgun.
In firearms, the copper wash does help reduce leading, somewhat, by preventing some of the bullet lead from being vaporized by hot powder gases. It makes the bullet more indoor range “friendly” (air quality) and helps keep the barrel free of deposits. However, a true copper jacket is far, far superior to the electroplated copper wash in powder burners.

I like them. They work real well in my SS. Both the supreme energy,
and the extended range.
Save your money, unless you want to shoot and eat at the same time.
Never tried ’em because of the cost.
