Lead Sport Pellets Overview: Lead sport pellets are primarily used in air rifles and pistols for target shooting and hunting small game. They come in various shapes designed for specific purposes: wadcutters for clean holes in paper targets, dome or round nose for versatility, pointed for enhanced penetration, and hollow points for maximum energy transfer on impact.

Calibers and Material: Common calibers include .177, preferred for its high velocity and flatter trajectory in target shooting, and .22, favored for hunting due to its heavier impact. Lead is the primary material used due to its high density, which ensures substantial momentum and impact at lower velocities.
