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.
I went to their website and then called them. They were very friendly and offered a couple suggestions, but did not have any .20 cal. pellets. it was worth the try though. Thanks again.
BTW, the fella I talked to said he owned a Blue Streak also, but had not shot it in decades. One of his suggestions was to cast my own pellets. Somehow, I don't think that's gonna happen. :roll:

I have been trying for a while to find .20 cal. (5mm) pellets ... Hoping for JSB, H&N or any others I'm unaware of to become available. Any ideas?
Amazon. Both JSB and H&N came up as the first 2 in the search.
Thank you Mags, however, Amazon shows both out of stock and don't know if or when they will re-stock. :?
Must be regional. I can order both. Though H&N show "only 8 left". Try these specific Amazon urls.

Ive bought pellets from Amazon and not ever had a issue. probably depends on who packs the box. Another good place Mark is Airguns of Az. Those guys are great to deal with. I dont think they have any right now but you might check when looking

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.......

Thanks Mags!!
They must have just become available again. I just ordered a 500ct. tin of the JSB's. they are a bit heavier than I wanted, but I'll take them.
Much appreciated, as I had all but given up on Amazon. :D
The H&N's are pretty pricey for only 250 ct.

I did check on Airguns of Arizona...good site. They show the caliber, but are also out of stock. Thanks again Al. I added them to my favorites.👍

Mark, the JSB 13.73s are considered the benchmark for accuracy in a 20 cal pellet. In fact, Diana (RWS) once made a custom 20 cal springer to shoot just that pellet. I use the JSB 13.73s in my HW50 20 cal springer as well as all my Sheridans. Yeah, expensive, but makes the old Sheridan/Benjamin/Crosman 20 cal pellets look bad. Worth the wait.

Yes, I've been looking for the 13.73's based on what you told me long ago. All I saw today though were the 15.89 on Amazon, so I figured I better grab them. They have not been available recently on Amazon. I'm glad Mags alerted me that they had them again. I ordered 1 tin. Boy have they gone up in price since the last time I bought a tin of Benjamin's, which I guess they no longer make. $34.96 for the tin of 500 that I ordered today. I will keep my eyes open for the 13.73's though. I'm just glad that they are still making them.

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.
Krale in the Netherlands currently has the .20 JSB’s heavy in stock. Shipping is expensive if you purchase a small quantity but the price per tin is much less than you can find here in the U.S. I typically order 20-30 tins at a time so the overall price is less than I could get from buying at Pyramyd Air or Air Gun Depot. NCG - I quoted your post since I’m new on the forum and knew you would confirm that Krale was a legitimate place to purchase from.
