I've tried this with those .22 cal nailgun blanks, .27 cal nailgun blanks, and 209 shotgun primers. All of them would blow the pellet skirt like a balloon until they ripped off. The 209 primer actually would melt and seize the skirt on the chamber making it nearly impossible to brush off. After reading that even 1000 fps+ spring powered pellet guns suffer from deformed pellet skirts causing poor accuracy, I scrapped the whole experiment. A year later the 17 HMR hit the market and the pellet idea no longer made sense to me.</p></blockquote><p></p>
