Wasp No3 .22 air rifle pellet | Calibre .22 (5.5mm), purple head coding | Weight 14.4 grains | Domed head, ribbed skirt for tight groups | Target, plinking and close-range pest control | Screw-lid tin of 250 | Colour-keyed lid for easy calibre ID

The Wasp No3 in .22 (5.5mm) is a mid-weight domed lead pellet that has long been a staple for British airgun shooters. Each pellet weighs 14.4 grains and carries the purple head-size colour coding that makes the calibre easy to recognise on the shelf and in the field. The rounded domed head and ribbed skirt seat cleanly in the breech and shed energy predictably down range, giving consistent groups straight from the tin. At this weight it suits a wide range of .22 air rifles, holding a steady line for paper punching and informal plinking while carrying enough mass for close-range pest control around the smallholding, barn or garden. Supplied loose in a screw-lid tin of 250, the colour-keyed lid keeps your pellet store tidy and the calibre obvious at a glance. A dependable, affordable everyday pellet for shooters who want reliable feeding and repeatable accuracy without fuss.

Every tin arrived dented?

These are the same pellets as webley vvmx .22's just slightly cheaper my hw35e just loves them 10mm groups at 30 yards easily done
However every tin was dented on delivery (ups? & not great packaging)....

Bisley Wasp purple 5.5mm

On the downside this was not a tin of 500 pellets for £6.99, it was only a tin of 250 pellets for £6.99. The product listing shows a photo of the old Bisley Wasp tin with a purple painted screw on lid which states 500 pellets, what you get is a much smaller tin without a screw on lid, a stick on purple label and 250 pellets or thereabouts.
Now for the positives:
These are not the same as the previous Bisley Wasps. These new generation Wasps are very well made pellets, they are bright and shiny with no mis-shapen pellets nor swarf. They bear little resemblance to the original Eley Wasp which were a squat domed Diablo with a ribbed and very thick skirt. These are longer with a much flatter dome and a long thin walled non - ribbed skirt. I have read elsewhere they are just re-branded Webley VMXpells, that may be true I do not have any VMX's to compare.
I have a constant search for pellets which will shoot well in older 5.6mm calibre BSA rifles. Bingo! These new style Bisley Wasps shoot the best groups of any pellets I have tried to date in my airsporter Mk1, Airsporter Mk 7 and Mercury Mk 1. They actually shoot much better groups than my remaining tin of orginal 5.6mm Eley Wasps.
Initially I was disappointed that this new style of Bisley Wasp pellet was not available in 5.6mm /no.2 bore/ blue tins but actually it doesn't matter, the purple ones work fine in my old BSA's.
If you have similar rifles to mine I recommend you give these pellets a go - you might just be delighted
