works great and saves some time loading

hold more pellets

For $10 it's worth having.

handy and easy to use. takes a few loads to get the depth and seating right. sometimes you start to put two pellets in if you push to hard

nothing

beats fumbling in a can of pellets or spilling them

Works as advertised. Handy item.

Nothing

Maybe you should get more than one.

Very convenient for loading.

easy to operate, saves time loading next pellet

nothing really

you can load up to 22 pellets. pellets will seat differently based on the brand and weight. if you use just one type for one rifle you will find loading very easy. I suggest quickly checking each load of pellet before closing barrel

Slick handy gadget, a must for glove shooting, makes loading faster and easier especially in cold weather.

Pellets drop out the end easily which can be a pain on rough terrain, the end where the pellets exit could be a bit tighter to remedy this problem, the ratchet pusher could be a little more positive.

Makes loading pellets easy!

Better indexing.

No pocket clip.

Fast, easy loading. No fumbling for tins, in the field.

Reshape/polish the tension arms/fins inside the mechanism; the sharp/hard edges mark the pellet heads, and might affect long-range accuracy. Add a small loop/anchor near the top of the tube, so it can be strung and carried around the neck, or on a zip-retractor (I'll be adding my own).

Though this makes loading faster and easier--especially in the field--I still need to use my thumb to properly seat the pellet. I can't take good macro photos, or else I would post a pic of the shallow grooves that the interior tension arms cut into the head of each pellet that passes through the pen. Because they're always consistent, they may not seriously affect accuracy if the pen is held in the same position each time. I'm currently a BAD enough shot that I doubt any influence from the cuts will be noticeable! I'll have to experiment and update once I have some real information (and improve my accuracy... haha). It might be easy enough to gently sand/file down the sharp edges, so that could be a quick fix. I still think this is faster, easier, and quieter than using a tin or a pouch in the field, regardless, so further research will held solidify my review.

I use these for my .177 cal NP rifle, and I bought one with the Browning .22 cal Express 800. Not only do they make loading easier and faster, but I no longer worry about dropping rounds in the grass when loading with fingers from can or pouch. Frankly, I think they're an indispensable accessory for any break-barrel pellet gun.

I'd like to see them in discounted 3-packs.

Pyramyd Air sells these at a price that is 30-35% cheaper than Amazon & other sellers. Just one more reason to stick with Pyramyd for airguns AND accessories.

This makes it so much easier than fumbling around in a tin and looking to see which end is up. So far has worked fine with the domed and wadcutter types I have tried.

Make the lanyard available for the .22 model. Holding it in your teeth if you don't have a shirt pocket handy makes it hard to shoot a rifle.

Don't over do it and let the following pellet stick out as it can get snagged and pulled out.

It's green.

I can't say that I would change anything other than by adding a clip to keep the thing in your pocket. For those who are interested in gadgets I suppose it has it's place but, for my own interest I prefer to handle the pellet and insert them with my thumb. That gives me the ability to know that every pellet is seated the same as every other pellet. I would much rather have paid the few extra bucks for the H&N belt pellet carrier.

This is not much more than a re-contrived plastic ball-point pen body, and IMO is a bit high priced for all there is to it. There is no pocket retainer clip, so if you carry it in your shirt pocket, be prepared to pick it up off the ground every time you bend over.

Easy to use, functional, loads up quickly, well designed and well constructed. It is indispensable for all weather shooting and provides a unique benefit of adding consistency to the pellet loading process. No loading more too deep or too shallow loading pellets into the breech. This gives a consistent shooting to each pellet and eliminates one more variable from the shooting equation.

nothing, very practical and useful tool.

don't try overfill the pen, it will hinder the proper function of the pellet pen and frustrate your attempts to use it.

makes easy to load rifle

make a heaver model

It keeps me from having to dig out individual pellets.

Kind of tedious to load but not bad at all.

Buy more than one.

I like the ease of the way pellets load from this tool

Make it where it would clip on your pocket better

HANDY FOR TOTE FOR PELLETS.

LOWER PRICE

NO

Easy to use. Makes loading a break-barrel much easier.

Can't think of any.

It is advertised to hold 15, but I think that is conservative. I am able to get 18 wadcutters and 20 domed pellets in it easily. It is also good for loading a single-shot pistol, like some that Crosman markets, but it shows its true worth with a break-barrel. It seats the pellets easily and makes reloading a lot smoother.

Ease of use filling the pen, using pen to load the rifle is easy, intuitive. Construction is simple, well made, unfortunately withstands only minor abuse. Duct Tape makes a fine fix and shock absorber.

Thicker wall construction on plastic tube, thicker and reinforced ejection port to withstand long term usage.

If the pellets you are using need to be "forced or pushed" into the barrel when loading by hand, the pellet pen will cause deformation of pellet skirts when using it to force pellets into barrel. Discovered this through trial and error. Beeman Kodiak's must be pushed into breech of RWS 350, but pattern 2" at 60 yds. Using the pen pattern opens up to 5 inches this was over 75 rounds of testing. Same happens to Beeman Crows with the RWS350 when using pen to load. Important to know your pattern before using the pen.
