Things I liked:Enhanced speed, penetration. I like the gold plating, it's soft like lead, so it grips the rifling well and causes it to be spot on accurate. I shot these from a .22 cal. Chinese made underlevel rifle that shoots @ 900 fps with lead. With these I shot thru my 3/4 inch backstop and kept on going. Had to put a steel plate on the back to stop the little buggers. Things I would have changed:More for the money or less money for what you get What others should know:It never hurts to add a little of your favorite pellet lube to the tube and shake it a bit. Be careful where you shoot! These are lethal pellets not to be taken lightly. You can seriously hurt someone if you don't check out behind your target. Be aware they will ricochet if shot from a powerful gun.

Things I liked:Nothing really. My RWS 54 shot 3.5 inch groups at 20 yards with these pellets in .22 Cal. (the group was probably bigger, because 3 out of 10 missed the target backing completely. Shooting at targets stuck to a 3/4 inch piece of plywood, these pellets went in about 1/2 inch. Crosman Premiers shot a group of less than 1/4 inch and every pellet completely penetrated the 3/4 plywood. The Raptor pellets were obviously much faster than the lead pellets, but lost a lot of energy vs. the Premiers at only 20 yards. Things I would have changed:I would change this into a Crosman Premier, add 200 pellets to the package and cut the price in half. Seriously, these are overpriced gimmicky junk. What others should know:I have now owned three different Gamo air rifles and they were all very good value for the money and the CFX was extremely accurate. I have nothing against Gamo, but these pellets are not worth paying for.

Things I would have changed:The price. They need to be cheaper.
What others should know:Way too expensive. You could shoot half a pack till you get it shot in right. Stick with the heavier pellets unless speed is all you want.
