Cannot find pellets

Post by markiver54 » Wed Feb 15, 2023 4:46 pm

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. :roll:
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?

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.......

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.

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.

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.

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. :?

Buying from Amazon is very risky, they don’t know how to pack them. I ordered six tins and they arrived in a “padded” paper envelope. All tins were dented, one had spilled. Many of the visible pellets were deformed - so everything went back. That shipment wasn’t 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 won’t buy anywhere else. I keep buying more of my favorites, my wife doesn’t 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 ;)
