Thank you for your time and effort . Having to learn the hard way really sucks . I know , been there . :angrymob:
FROM : THE BIRDMAN
I fell for it, and I will tell you all to NOT do the same.I have invested more than $250 in this “idea” and an embarrassing number of hours. The pellets produced are amazingly inconsistent,of inferior quality to anything on the market, and will rob you of obscene hours of shooting time.
I bought the MKII thinking this was the best idea. I am working with a .25 for a condor. Nice, use old pellets and scrap lead, great idea. Now, .25 pellets cost $15/200. I make $60/hr in my shop, (mechanic). I have spent more than 30 mins to swage 20 pellets after work. I won’t mention the price of the propane to melt the lead. I paid a machinist to create a mold to cast some blanks to swage, wasted time there. I tried casting directly into the unit, inconvenient, dangerous, and amazingly SLOW. Meanwhile there is cold beer in the fridge of which I cant partake because I am dealing with fire, toxic metals, and a learning curve. I could have been shooting paper, or squirrels. So, I spend hours trying to get this idea off the ground. It DOES NOT FLY. I cast .45 for my Texan FAR faster than this mess.
On the positive side though, the unit is of very well done machining work, hats off. Great work, BAD idea. I’m just sorry that it requires such and expense of time and money to review this product.The unit appears to have been thought out and built in the spirit of Jaguar motorcars and Norton motos. Great idea, VERY, very bad execution.Just another useless product from across the pond.
In short, don’t bother.
I’ve read a few bad reports for accuracy.

Yep I also fell for this one. What amazed me was that the pellets were weighted perfectly, no variation at all in weight after swaging. Yet I’m assuming that due to the design/shape of the pellets, there was literally zero accuracy in any gun. I even ordered different swaging assemblies to try and get a longer pellet, but that didn’t do any good. I am used to dime sized groups, I would have settled for quarter sized or even a bit bigger, but the groups were literally all over the board, not a single shot landed within six inches of another shot. Just all over the place, even with consistent fps output, zero pellet weight variation, etc, I literally wouldn’t count on these to hit the broad side of a barn.
