    Things I liked:Longer than traditional pellets, thus easier to grab and load. Don't leave lead deposits in barrel/envioronment ...and they look like bullets.
    Things I would have changed:Rather than zinc-alumin alloy...I would have them use steel for more penetration.
    What others should know:Wear eye protection when within close proximity of non-game targets. Ricochets are a possibilty on hard targets.

    By John from USA on 2009-05-07 18:00:29

    Things I liked:amazing penetration in short range tests. good for a practice load but poor hunting load.
    Things I would have changed:not as accurate as i'd like in long range tests. slow for a non-lead pellet and drops off quickly. The pellet itself is unimpressive looking and I had a tough time taking these things seriously. I'll noy buy these again
    What others should know:These are a pellet that are not to be taken very seriously. the long range is about 40 yards and they drop loke a rock. If you are hunting, get a different pellet.

      Things I liked:My MP 513M in .177 calliber loves these pellets. I can hit a golf ball over and over from 30 yards. I really like how the longer shape helps me seat them. The quality of each pellet is amazing. I have not seen one defective pellet. MOST OF ALL THEY ARE LEAD FREE!
      Things I would have changed:Price and tin count. For the current price I'd like to get more bang for my buck. Or I guess lower the price if the tin count is goin to stay at 150.
      What others should know:These hit extreamly hard and do not deform. Watch what you fire these babys at. I'm sure this pellet would be great for hunting.

      Things I liked:love that these pellets are pointed and are longer than normal size pellets so they are so much better when loading,look like small bullets
      Things I would have changed:make more come in the pack like 300 and color to red so you can see where you shot
      What others should know:good penetration and accurate,if you shoot anythig wooden it will go in but be care full if you shoot thick metal cause these suckers bounce off ,not if you shoot soup cans ,they go right through them

      Things I liked:i'm reviting these with a paraffin ballistics target. I can definitely say these penetrated the paraffin target better than any other lead free pellet I have tested. It passed through the target and had enough energy to also make a dent in a wood backstop and bounce so I had to search for it. What it did do was retain it's form so well it could potentially be reused, although it's not recommended. What it did not do was any serious damage as it passed through the target. The hole was clean and a uniform 4.5mm front to back.
      Things I would have changed:I'd not recommend these for hunting. These are more of an indoor range shot. A breeze will throw these off target in a hurry.
      What others should know:good for indoor 10 meter, poor for hunting and field target.

      Things I liked:These pellets fit the chamber very well and seem to be quite accurate with excellent penetration.
      Things I would have changed:I wouldn't change anything.
      What others should know:They are fairly quiet therefore I would guess they are not actually hypersonic. As fast as a lead round but at least they are lead free.

      Things I liked:Michigan is leading the charge to outlaw lead in fishing weights and ammo. Being a serious hunter I'm opposed to this since I have not found too many lead free pellets I like, but I try them as I discover them. I got these with the high hopes I found a decent lead free pellet with a low cost. I tried these in several air rifles including one of my favorites that's out of production now, the tech force 6. I found these not only have an issue with size (sometimes I find a few that are just a bit too big to fit), but even with a high power rifle they are inaccurate, have low penetration and surprisingly close drop off. They just don't fly all that well. The more power I put on them the worse they seem to get. I doubt I'll buy more when my current supply is finished.
      Things I would have changed:I can't think of a cure for these things. They look cool though. My theory is these have too much surface area in contact with the air when they are fired, which creates too much friction and acts as a brake on the pellet.
      What others should know:Not the best pellets I have tried.

      Things I liked:THESE ARE A FUN PELLET. I bought these because....I hate to admit it.......They looked cool. Well, this is what I found. These pellets are just fun. I wouldn't hunt or target with them as I don't find them that accurate. They will rip through a lot of stuff, if that's what you want. Penetration is amazing, and they are "fairly" accurate. They will drift, but, regardless of the drift, I still like these pellets. I would recommend these to anyone just for fun.
      Things I would have changed:Maybe they could be offered in a heavier grain. That might make them more accurate.
      What others should know:Make sure you know what's behind your target......I'm not saying you will miss, but more that, these things go through stuff more than your regular pellets.
