The BSA SilverStar Hunting Pellets are medium-weight, precision-engineered expanders designed to deliver exceptional performance for pest control at medium ranges. Featuring a pin-point tip and a tapered cone, these pellets ensure controlled deformation and reliable expansion on impact. Ideal for ensuring a humane and effective dispatch of quarry, the SilverStar is perfect for distances up to 20 meters.
While excellent for pest control, the design of the SilverStar makes it less suitable for long-range shooting or target practice, as it may produce suboptimal paper-cutting patterns. Additionally, these pellets are not recommended for use in self-indexing magazines due to their design.
