Elko lead-free pellets – Maximum velocity without lead

When you choose Elko, you choose ammunition that is kinder to nature and performs out of the ordinary. Elko specialises in lead-free pellets for air rifles that use lightweight materials to achieve a markedly higher muzzle velocity than traditional lead pellets. That makes them a good choice for shooters who want a flat trajectory and maximum impact at shorter distances. We carry a selection of their most innovative models.

Why choose Elko lead-free pellets?

There are several technical advantages to switching to Elko's lead-free alternatives:

• Very high velocity: Because the materials are lighter than lead, your air rifle can drive the pellet considerably faster. This is often noticeable as a louder "crack" when the pellet breaks the sound barrier.

• Environmentally friendly shooting: With Elko you can shoot in the garden or outdoors with a clear conscience, as you do not leave heavy metals in the ground.

• High impact: Elko pellets such as Green Match or the pointed versions are designed to deliver all their energy into the target, which makes them effective on both targets and cans.

Innovative designs for precision

Elko stands out by using unusual combinations of materials:

• Plastic sabots: Many of their models use a plastic sabot that seals completely in the barrel, so all the air is used to drive the projectile forward.

• Metal cores: The core itself is often made of tin or zinc alloys that hold their shape on impact and give consistent accuracy.

• Clean barrels: Lead-free pellets leave no lead residue in your barrel. We still recommend regular care with Brunox to keep the rifling in top condition.

Optimise your shooting

Remember that because Elko pellets are lighter than standard pellets such as Coal, they can be affected more by wind at long range. They are, however, well suited to quick plinking and fun shooting where speed is the focus. They work very well with powerful air rifles from brands such as Gamo and Crosman.
