    By Greg from USA on 2007-12-05 12:51:54

    Things I liked:100% more accurate in my Beeman GS1000 .22 rifle than any other Beeman or Crossman pellet that I've tried. Much tighter groups at 20 yards (1" c-t-c) no problem.
    Things I would have changed:Container does not stay closed. I wish the lid screwed on.
    What others should know:When shot with a higher powered airgun, these hollow point pellets penetrate very well, and they really do open up nicely. Very deadly at 20 yards (I haven't tried them beyond 20 yards). Excellent for hunting squirrels.

    Things I liked:An OK pellet for underpowered guns. It gives adequate accuracy and expansion at close range.
    Things I would have changed:Weight and velocity vary* too much for long range accuracy, besides which it doesn't have the ballistic efficiency of longer, heavier domed rounds. At 780 fps, the standard deviation is 12.6 fps, relatively high for precision pellets.
    What others should know:Silver Bears turn themselves inside out at close range and give good expansion at longer ranges. However, they are so light they can fail to completely penetrate game animals Since air guns kill by disrupting the central nervous system or by causing hemorage, it is important to go through as much tissue as possible to increase bleeding. If you have a full-power gun and want hollowpoint terminal performance, consider RWS or HN.

      Things I liked:Pellets appear to be uniform, fit snugly in both Crosman 2260 and Tech Force 89. The pellet hits hard, not a one hole pellet yet was okay.
      Things I would have changed:The tin needs a screw on lid

      Things I liked:These pellets are by far the most accurate out of both my NP Trail and Stoeger x20. They shoot faster and flatter than anything else I've tried as well. Like the semi-wadcutter HP shape.- Nice on paper and devistationg on small game.
      Things I would have changed:500 ct tin at a quantity price ( or a lower price on these small tins.) Wish I could trade in all those "485 pellets left" tins I tried before finding these.
      What others should know:After testing 7 different pellets, I found these shot best out of both my 950/fps rated ,mid-power .22 cal springers ( listed above.) Not only do they shoot most accurate but they give me average velocities of 755 +/- FPS in both guns. ( and 16ft-lbs of ME.)

      Things I liked:This is the answer to my accuracy problem.
      Things I would have changed:Economy of scale! Sell them for less money in 500ct please!!
      What others should know:I bought a Benjamin Trail NP in Dec 2010. I started with the bargain Crosman Premier, 14.3 Grains, HP, 500ct for $8.25. Also the similar (same) Benjamin Discovery 14.3 Grains, HP, 500ct. I did the 300 break in. I was not getting consistent results, groups about .5 inch to 1.2 inches at 60 feet. Frustration! My old crosman pnuematic (peep site) is a tack driver and I won't enjoy a gun that does not hit where I aim. Long story, I got the famous aftermarket trigger. Tried artillery hold and variations. Still little help. Bought 9 more pellet types with various weights. Loctite the screws. Change the scope. Even adjusted tension of the barrel shroud retainer, finally removed the shroud completely (doesn't seem any louder?). My first try with this pellet was after the trigger change, but before all the other changes. It didn't stand out then. After all mods and about 4000 other shots it finally was the pellet that made me smile. Why can't life just be simple? I was thinking about selling the rifle, but now will order more of these pellets (or H & N version for less) instead. I shot 3 groups of 4 under a dime at 60 feet, and largest inside a quarter. Happy camper! Still accurate out to 50 yards. At 100 yards it really blows in the wind. Found two deformed pellets in can.

      Things I liked:absolutely deadly in my RWS Model 36 and 48. Pinpoint accuracy makes one shot kills on 'tree rodents' the normal. Pellets are super consistent in weight and shape.
      Things I would have changed:NOTHING
      What others should know:Buy plenty, you'll be shooting more because the accuracy makes you want to shoot with confidence.

      Things I liked:Great pellets, very accurate and they do go super sonic in my Walther Talon Magnum.
      Things I would have changed:Nothing
      What others should know:These are made by H&N Sport so if you like that brand, don't be surprised when you have the same results with these pellets.

      Things I liked:Great for my mid-class rifle..
      Things I would have changed:Nothing
      What others should know:Judging a pellet varies from rifle to rifle due to their velocity (fps). If the velocity is between 600 fps to 800 fps the Silver Bear is an excellent choice. When the velocity is between 850 fps to 1000 fps you will experience a reduction in accuracy. And if the velocity is between 1100 fps to 1500 fps you will shoot and may miss the target by several inches because the pellet was not engineered to sustain balance at such speeds.

      Things I liked:I like that these pellets are a little lighter than the 14gr of most .22's. They are very accurate in all the guns I've tried them in, which are Crosman 140, 180, QB78, and EB22. I mean, super accurate, always hit where I'm aiming, always. When I see them after being fired from the 180, I can see where they gripped the rifling. Also like that they're clean, no lead dust or graphite, or whatever that coating is on the Crosman pellets. I must say that they don't flatten or expand as much as I thought they might, but they're my go-to pellet for accuracy, for sure.
      Things I would have changed:Love the pellet themselves, wish they came with a screw on cap tin, find myself putting little pieces of duct tape on the tin, or putting them in an empty gamo tin. I also think that $8 for 200 is a little pricey. There's usually a few in the tin that are badly misshapen, too..not many, but maybe 5-8 out of the 200.
      What others should know:Not as good penetration as a round nose pellet, but thats too be expected with the lighter weight and the flat nose. Because they're a little lighter they definitely don't carry the same power downrange as a 14gr pellet. Great for paper targets and I would hunt squirrel or birds with them, but probably not beyond 20yds. Use a heavier round nose, like the H&N Field Target Special for longer distance hunting, in my opinion..

      Things I liked:Very clean and uniform pellet.
      Things I would have changed:Nothing.
      What others should know:I'm not going to give these a bad review because they didn't shoot well in MY Diana M34/TO6, because in someone else's rifle they might shoot just fine. But in my gun they were all over they place. Thank you very much.
