[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5191281, member: 17"] Some brands of pellets have a hole through the center of them. They are intended to burn from the center outward. If you crack a pellet, the burn gets into that crack changing the burn rate of the entire pellet, hence changing the speed of the bullet out of the barrel, which can result in an odd "flier" when target shooting (or shooting at an animal). Back when pellets first came out, many shooters mentioned the pellets were great, except now and then they would get an odd flier in their groupings. Cracked pellets were the reason. [/QUOTE]
