This air rifle pellet has numerous facets that can be modified in a multitude of ways. Modify it until you find the perfect shape for aerodynamics and stopping power. Have fun making the next best airgun pellet and don't forget to share your findings! What you see is my take on a hollow point with a tip for better penetration. If this were printed in PLA and cast in lead, it would be suitable for small game or large game if you own a .50 cal air rifle. A friendly note: if you use a spring action or nitro piston air rifle, it's best to cast these prints in lead or another metal as shooting plastic pellets from these types of airguns can cause the same damage as dry firing. Please enjoy the sport responsibly. On your slicer, scale the X and Y scale differently depending on the caliber of your rifle or pistol. Here are some imperial to metric conversions of common calibers: * .177=4.5mm * .20=5mm * .22=5.5mm * .25=6.35mm * .308=7.62mm * .357=9.07mm * .380=9.65mm * .40=10mm * .44=10.9mm * .45=11.43mm * .50=12.7mm * 20 gauge=15.6mm * 12 gauge=18.5mm I am not responsible for any accidents resulting from using the included files and information about this thing.
