A relative found this tin of .177 pellets in their attic. Being the designated family gun looney they handed it over to me.

I don't know squat about air rifles. I did know enough to ask 'em to keep looking for the pistol/rifle that goes with these pellets.

I have one like that.The one I have is from the 1960's.I don't know how long after that they still used that same can.Looked on Ebay and there are some full cans selling for $24.99 + $9.25 shipping.Looked for IMR 4350 powder can and those empty metal cans are going for about the same price.

As Bob Hagel would say"You should not use a rifle that will kill an animal when everything goes right; you should use one that will do the job when everything goes wrong."Good words of wisdom...............

Very cool. Thanks for that.

The story is a great grandfather on my wife's side really, really didn't like kitties. shocked

Out of a 250 pellet tin, there's 148 pellets remaining.

The cans I got in the 1970s were like that, maybe with slight changes to the lettering.

When I was out and about with my Benjamin rifle I used those, and I usually had a tin of these with me as well:

I remember buying those tins in the late 80's and early 90's.

I still have some and the original rifle I still use. The latter bought in 1970.

Ed I had a rifle just like that. I found it leaning against a pine tree out on NF land in Oregon. The stock finish was flaking off but the rest being made of brass was just fine. Still have two tins like that with pellets. Wish I still had the rifle!
