Cannot find pellets
I have been trying for a while to find .20 cal. (5mm) pellets for my old Sheridan pump. I've even been on the waiting list at Pyramid Air for a while now and nothing yet. I love my old rifle and hate to think that I can no longer feed it. All the other calibers are available.
It's my understanding that Bengamin/Sheridan no longer make 5mm. Hoping for JSB, H&N or any others I'm unaware of to become available. Any ideas?

Re: Cannot find pellets
There is some on Ebay Mark but it would be a cold day in you know where before I would pay 25.00 per 100 for pellets. Time to put that Sheridan away and buy a 22 pellet rifle. Maybe NCG has a source

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Re: Cannot find pellets
Mark, my usual sources don't have my preferred JSB Exact 20 cal in stock, but if you do a search on JSB 20 cal, I see some smaller online outfits are showing stock.

Re: Cannot find pellets
Thank you NCG I will continue my search for the JSB's. I agree with Al as well. I will not pay those kind of prices for pellets. It might be time to consider a different caliber, . Just hate to accept that my days shooting my Sheridan could be over...bummer.

Re: Cannot find pellets
I have a Sheridan Blue Streak that I bought many years ago. Fortunately when I bought it I also bought three boxes of 500 pellets each. There are still a few in the second box and the third one isn't open yet. I did find another brand of .20 pellets at a big outdoor store near me, Bill Jackson's.I am sure that they have a web site and they are in Pinellas Park Florida.

Re: Cannot find pellets
Thank you Mags, however, Amazon shows both out of stock and don't know if or when they will re-stock.Mags wrote: âThu Feb 16, 2023 12:17 amAmazon.

Re: Cannot find pellets
Buying from Amazon is very risky, they donât know how to pack them. I ordered six tins and they arrived in a âpaddedâ paper envelope. All tins were dented, one had spilled. Many of the visible pellets were deformed - so everything went back. That shipment wasnât useful for anything but casting bullets.
Pyramid Air has the best prices, offers a free tin if you add 4 to your cart (buy 3 get 1 free, buy 6 get 2 free) but most importantly, they ship in a small box padded with open cell foam cut to shape. I wonât buy anywhere else. I keep buying more of my favorites, my wife doesnât understand. When a big pellet drought strikes, you need to have a big big stash. You can always resell at a profit during the bad times.
None in .20 cal, but sign up to be notified and eventually you will get some. I have waited for half a year
