My search for cheap, effective, accessible ammo for my 6mm QEV airgun found me at the supermarket recently where i decided upon these black and gold brand 'Mini Fruits'. A bag of several hundred of these small confectionary costs only $1.58 australian from my local supermarket and as they have a diameter of approx. 6mm they fit perfectly into my air rifle barrel.

It says "quality assured" on the bag, but does that guarantee mean they're consistent enough to have good grouping at say 50 meters?
I can imagine the conversation at the supermarket's customer service center... :)
